It is very neutral with the undertones of it, unlike bronze, gold, etc. I'd like to find a pair for this season as well.</p> <p>Also I recently purchased some t-strap sling backs and I enjoy them very much. If they are comfortable, go for it. The neutral color will help in lengthening the leg, unlike a black or dark brown ankle strap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68940 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:26:33 +0000 Sarah 68940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, can't wait to see your sandals! I personally like t strap sandals and thong styles because it gets so hot and humid here. I need really light shoes that won't slip around when my feet get sweaty.<br /> I actually picked up a matte gold pair and a silver pair last month, and I wear them both constantly. I have large ankles as well, and I've found that shoes nearer my skin tone (ie: the matte gold ones) with as low an ankle strap as possible aren't as unflattering as a mary jane or higher ankle strap. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68933 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 16:23:55 +0000 Michelle 68933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks guys. I think I may have found something. It's a pewter thong-style with the perfect wedge heel height, and I think it'll be quite comfortable once the leather has stretched a bit (it's definitely real leather, so it will give). One style question, though: it's a t-strap with sling-back. Are t-straps ylf approved or would they draw attention to my ankles, which are most definitely not fab? I didn't go for gladiators for that reason, I know ankle straps are a bad idea plus they tend to drive me mad. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68922 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 15:41:12 +0000 chewyspaghetti 68922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pewter or silver, because you wear mostly cool colors. They are similar in color, so don't limit yourself. How they feel is really the most important aspect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68898 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:51:46 +0000 Vani 68898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Michelle, I bought the Bronze Me Too Nadias partly because that was the only metallic they had in my size at the time. I did also try the silver Nadias in one of the bigger sizes and that particular shade didn't look too hot on me. Then again I am much darker than you; silver and pewter will look awesome on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68891 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:25:29 +0000 Angie 68891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Silver or peweter for sure. Have fun shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68882 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 14:03:36 +0000 Anonymous 68882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have both bronze and pewter footwear and both seem to go with everything. If I had to make a choice, I'd go with the pewter.<br /> If you don't find pewter but love a sandal in silver, go for it. Silver is a great summer neutral too. Shiny gold is my least favorite among the metallics for footwear although I love gold jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68881 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:30:04 +0000 CK 68881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think bronze and pewter are the most versatile choices. I'm looking for (affordable, comfortable) sandals in those colors as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68880 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 13:26:17 +0000 scorpio13 68880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, i think you should consider the Bronze.<br /> I wear a lot of Blues &#38; Greens &#38; i think Bronze goes nicely with these shades.<br /> I don't think Bronze necessarily has to go with Brown shades at all! (I suppose you'll see for yourself when you actually try on the different colours).</p> <p>But let us know what you end up getting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68870 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 12:09:38 +0000 Inge 68870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second Ele's suggestion Michelle. Pewter would be very versatile, and I personally like it better than some of the shiny, sparkly silver options out there.</p> <p>You can't go wrong with a wedge heel;-)</p> <p>Have fun shopping! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68857 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:31:06 +0000 Ele 68857@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Michelle. Based on the colours your wear, and the fact that you wear mostly silver jewelry, I would make pewter your top choice for a sandal. Silver would also work, but I tend to think pewter is more practical for everyday wear in a city, as it's darker. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/poll-what-shade-of-metallic-should-my-every-day-sandal-be#post-68856 Mon, 01 Jun 2009 10:04:03 +0000 Michelle 68856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, I'm going sandal shopping this morning in quest of a low-heeled (preferrably wedge), metallic sandal that will be my go-to sandal for the summer. I wear lots of black, white, red, blue etc with turquoise and purple making fairly regular appearances. I really don't wear a lot of brown, which is why I'm not sure if I should be going for a bronze sandal. Oh and I almost always wear silver jewelry (thoush I'm searching for ylf-approved pearls too). So, ladies, tell me which metallic shade would be the most vercitile! Despite our great chat about metallics a few weeks ago, I still struggle with this concept, as they're hard to visualize. </p>
