You’re a woman on the move, which is why you can’t ever go wrong with a new pair of shoes. Or, a few pairs at that. But if all of your shoes are the same style, you might as well just have a single pair in your closet.
The reality is, you’re a versatile woman with many places to go and things to do. So, you might as well have a shoe collection that reflects your personality and your lifestyle. In other words, you need multiple types of shoes on hand to truly live your life to the fullest.
Of course, you may be asking yourself, “Which shoes are the must have women’s shoes?” Or, “What shoes go with everything?”
Here’s a rundown on the five shoe styles that every woman should have in her closet this year.
1. Flats
Flats will always be your best friend, hands down. And here’s why.
Flats can go with just about any outfit and still make you look feminine. For instance, you can pair flats with dresses, jeans, shorts, and skirts. Flats are also excellent for playing with the children, running errands, and even running down the hall to catch the elevator.
Flats are also a great choice if you need a break from heels from time to time. After all, they can be more comfortable while still making you look put together and professional every time.
As you shop your flats, look for ones that are semi neutral—for example, gray or black. It’s best to stick with patterns or colors that you can easily dress down or up, and that will basically go with anything you wear.
2. Pumps
When it comes to must have women’s shoes, pumps are also important to add to the mix. That’s because pumps are extremely versatile, working well at work, at a party, and even at church.
A nude or black pair are excellent options if you’re looking for pumps that will work well with anything. Also, if you’re looking for a classic shape that will remain in style for a long time, stick with pumps with pointed toes.
3. Sandals
When warm weather arrives, it’s time to free your feet. In other words, it’s time to bring out the sandals. Sandals are must have women’s shoes because they, like flats, pair well with so many styles of clothing. For instance, they look great with skirts, jeans, shorts, and dresses.
Although flip-flops are certainly a type of sandal, your closet should be filled with more than just flip-flops for the summer months. Be sure to add some nice sandals to your collection as well.
4. Sneakers
Sneakers have become increasingly trendy during the past few years, and rightfully so. These casual shoes are much nicer looking than your traditional athletic sneakers but are also quite comfortable. Take advantage of colorful or patterned sneakers to take your look up a level.
If you’re asking yourself, “What shoes go with everything,” note that you can wear today’s trendy sneakers with a casual dress, leggings, shorts, and jeans. These shoes make excellent weekend or weekday shoes, and you can even wear them out on your next casual Friday night date.
5. Boots
Finally, boots are one of the top must have women’s shoes in the fall of 2019. You can’t go wrong with class boots that go up to your knees. However, boots that go over your knees and ankle boots are also very popular right now. Pick at flat pair for your everyday use, and get one with a stacked heel for your date nights.
