What To Wear With Red Heels

I don’t know about you, but whenever I browse a shoe store, there is one type of shoes that always catches my eyes first. It will be a pair of:

Red heels. 

They are usually pointed or slightly rounded. In patent, smooth or suede leather. And they look so gorgeous on the shelf!

Red is indisputably THE colour when you want to attract attention (advertising folks know this rule never fails). And I think I also wanted to attract some attention when I ended up buying these red heels. Or… 3 pairs of them.

But we always want to attract attention in a good way, right?

So, here are a few fail-safe suggestions on What To Wear With Red Heels.

2) For Work

Red heels can offer you a sweet escape from the daily routine of going for the same boring formal wear day-in and day-out. They look great with a black or grey pencil skirt and a white blouse.

Make sure to leave your high heel stilettos at home and go for a medium and/or sturdier heel. It’s a professional environment after all.

Red heel go well with predominantly white dresses, but you should also try combining them with floral dresses. Look for a pattern that has some nuances of red or any of the complementary colors (pink, orange, etc.).
