Red Shoes: What Colors Match?

Ryanick Paige
Red shoes are something every woman should have in their closet. A pair of red shoes can make you feel sexy and powerful. Red shoes are bold and daring. There are many styles of red shoes and many shades of red. How do you know which red shoe is the right red shoe? What do you wear with red shoes?

Choosing the right red shoe is a daunting task. Why is choosing the right pair of red shoes important? The red shoes will be noticed, eyes are drawn to the color red. Red shoes will not blend into the background like black or brown shoes. Red shoes will not be lost within an outfit. They stand out and make a statement.

If you already have an outfit in mind to wear with red shoes that should be your starting point. A suit that needs a punch of color would benefit from a nice pair of red pumps with a stacked heel. Another great choice is a red pointy-toed stiletto to elongate your legs. A pair of strappy red sandals is an excellent choice with a pair of dark jeans or a dress.

Walking in heels is not something every woman has accomplished. Some woman cannot wear heels like stilettos or stacked heels. If this is the case and you still need that fantastic pair of red shoes, you do have options. Try that pair of shoes in a wedge heel or a flat. Wedge heels are often easier to walk in for many people. A red pair of flats is also a great choice.

What colors can you wear with a red pair of shoes? Your choices are endless. Red shoes are a pseudo neutral. Black, gray, cream, white, or a rich brown are the easiest to match with red shoes. Denim is a great neutral that looks fabulous with red shoes. Many other colors can be worn with red shoes. The shade of red will determine the colors that will look best with your shoes.

There are some colors you do not want to wear with red shoes. Stay away from greens, especially dark shades, unless you want to look like an elf. Light colored denim looks washed out with red shoes. Wearing red shoes with an all red outfit looks bad unless the red matches perfectly and your not afraid of looking like a stop sign.

Red shoes can make or break any outfit. Use you color common sense in choosing the right pair of shoes to go with your outfit.
