How I’m Styling Silver Shoes
This season, it’s been impossible to ignore the few items taking summer fashion by storm. Namely, mesh ballet flats, long denim skirts, and metallic shoes. They’re interesting, they’re polarizing, and they seem to be everywhere. While I can appreciate and respect the maxi denim skirts and the mesh flats, I’m not sure I’m brave enough to take part just yet. Silver shoes, on the other hand, sign me up!
Wherever I turn, I seem to see a new take on the silver shoe trend. Whether it be a classic ballet flat, a block heel, or a mesh Mary Jane, the metallic hues are out this summer. While a metallic shoe seems like it would be a neutral, I always have to do a little thinking when it comes to styling. I want the shoe to stand out, but I also don’t want it to completely dominate the look. There has to be balance. After trying a few different options, I’ve figured out a formula that seems to be fail proof. Here’s how I’m styling silver shoes this summer.
Before this summer, silver shoes always made me think of school dances or weddings. That was truthfully the only context in which I would see metallic footwear. But now, I’m feeling all kinds of inspired by this sparkly shoe trend.
How I’m styling silver shoes:
- All White– Silver and white go so well together. I love wearing a cropped white jean, a white t-shirt, and a pair of silver sandals. Simple, understated, but classically cool.
- Denim– The deep blue of a pair of crisp jeans pairs so well with silver. I love throwing together an outfit with a silky tank top, a pair of favorite jeans, and silver shoes.
- Anything Chartreuse– I love this color always, but especially during the warmer months. I bought a beautiful chartreuse dress from Everlane a few years ago and could not figure out what shoes to pair with it. The answer? Silver!
How do you feel about the silver shoe trend this summer? Yay or Nay?
