Ladies, need some fashion advice. I just bought a dress that has a casual-like Aztec print throughout but it is made in silk, which is elegant and luxurious. My question is, should I pair the dress with casual shoes to match the casual print or pair the dress with fancy sandals to match the elegant silk fabric?
By casual, I don%26#039;t mean thong sandals either but maybe a sandal in a tumbled leather versus patent leather. Get the idea? I plan to wear the dress to go out to dinner, not Taco Bell but not quite Ruth%26#039;s Chris Steak House.
Casual or dressy shoes?
Depends on what the dress looks like, exactly.
But tumbled leather might create a rough contrast against smooth silk.
I%26#039;d go with patent leather to give the overall appearance of your outfit a together, finished look.
If you%26#039;re still having trouble, try on different shoes and back a few feet away from the mirror.
Not so far that you can%26#039;t catch small details, but far enough to get an idea of how the dress is affected by the shoes.
Reply:Id wear flats...they are cute and can be casual or fancy depending on what you what you wear it with like what youre wearing it with, it sounds casual and classy, the exact appearance you want if youre going out to a nice dinner, but not extremely fancy
Reply:A guys point of view. Go with the sandals in a tumbled leather. sounds good to me.
Reply:well by the sounding of the dress cant tell but i would say if u go casual dont go to casual but match it with the dress like some sandals with the same designs as the dress but if u go wih dressy dont go to dressy like heels or pumps so my answer is casual

Casual shoes/boots to wear with dresses and skirts?
I cant find shoes to wear with a skirt! Can anyone suggest a style and/or a place to buy shoes/boots that fill the following criteria...
1. Not too smart! I need casual, so no high heels
2. I have to be able to walk in them, run even, so again no high heels.
3. I need them to give me a bit of height, so some sort of platform sole?
Something like pixie boots would be ok but they are always so flat or else with a massive high heel.
Help, I have loads of dresses but no day time shoes for them!

Gabes is a good place for shoes.
Gabriel Brothers...............they always have low comfy work shoes that are stylish.
Reply:I find New Look or Topshop or Primark has the best range and choice of shoes...where are you based?
Reply:what about something like this...

They sell shoes like that in Schuh or Shelley%26#039;s (schuh sells online as well, dunno about shelley%26#039;s)

Reply:you can wear anything with a skirt. if you want the casual look, go for flip flops. there are also low heeled boots that would look good with skirts.
Reply:how about some very low heels, or what i think are really smart is cowboy boots!! pretty expensive if you get the real deal, so try ebay and vintage stores.
hope this helps!!
Reply:I would suggest some calf or ankle height cowboy boots. Those are very cute with an above-the-knee skirt. These have a slight heel, but I love them:

Here are some flats that could be worn with anything:

But it really depends on your style ;)
Reply:Ballet flats. Those are the best for alot of the criteria. How ever they won%26#039;t make you tall.
You can find them at marshalls, target, kohls, zappos almost anywhere.

Business casual (shoes)?
What type of shoes are ok for business casual attire? Of all my shoes I have only 2 pair that don%26#039;t show my toes, the rest are all open toe shoes. Are these ok to wear? I plan on wearing mainly slacks. Also, are polo tshirts ok for business casual? Thanks, and any other hints or tips are appreciated!
Business casual (shoes)?
Hey, I had a similar situation happen to me. I found that flat slip ons work great. They are able to give you support while keeping a professional look. Also they are huge right now and you will be able to find them at multiple price points. PS. They look great with trouser pants, shrunken down cardigans or fitted tops. Very Audrey H.
Congrats on the job change!
Reply:Polo IS business casual....open toes are ok
Reply:You obviously wear open toed shoes to work, right?
So they are OK for Business Casual.
Polo shirts are also OK for Bus. Casual.
Usually it%26#039;s jeans, sneakers, and T-shirts they are stearing you away from.
Reply:You can definately wear open toed shoed with slacks. Especially if they are high heels.
Reply:polos are ok open toes are not ok
Reply:Look at the other women you work with or near. They make a great guideline as to what is okay or not.
And generally, most people have no idea what business causal is. As long as you look decent, and you feel good about what you%26#039;re wearing (and its tasteful) you should be fine.
Reply:Yes, open toes are OK for business casual so long as they%26#039;re not too dressy. Make sure they%26#039;re comfortable too!

Men's casual shoes?
OK, trying to decide on a new pair of casual shoes. Here are the choices:
Tretorn:
http://store.nordstrom.com/product/produ...
Sketchers:
http://shop.skechers.com/shop/men/shoes/...
http://shop.skechers.com/shop/men/shoes/...
thanks
Men%26#039;s casual shoes?
They%26#039;re all very nice shoes, but I like the 2 Skechers the best. However, if you decide to buy the one from Nordstoms, go to www.ebates.com first. Sign up with ebates, after you have done that put Nordstom in the search box when it brings up the Nordstom link, click on that and then do your buying. This way you%26#039;ll get a percentage back of your sale through ebates. They send out checks quarterly. I%26#039;ve gotten almost $500 total from them because of my purchases through them for Nordstom, HP, Dell, QVC, 1800FLOWERS.COM, Staples and tons more.
You might as well earn some money while you%26#039;re shopping! Skecher%26#039;s might be on there as well but I%26#039;ve never looked for them. I know that Converse is on there.
Good luck and happy shopping!
Reply:The black and brown Bravados.
Reply:I liked the second choice better.
Reply:Go with the second pair of skechers...they will match more pieces of clothing!
Reply:so where is the question?
Reply:my personal fav is crisp white nikes...but out of the choices you gave, I like the black skechers.
Reply:Go for Sketchers .. looks good
Reply:I vote for the Tretorn.
Reply:Well, it really depends on the style you%26#039;re going for. If you want more of a, say, goth look, the Tretorns are definately for you. If you%26#039;re more into a preppie look, then either of the Sketchers would do well. My personal favorite is the first Sketcher.
Reply:none of them are casual
they are sneakers
if you want casual ones
dont get any of those
get them from a different place or just pick different ones bc those arent casual at all
sorry dudeeeeee
Reply:The Skecher Klone%26#039;s in brown/black are probably the best out of that bunch. Didn%26#039;t like the first one%26#039;s at all.
Reply:go with the sketchers.
Reply:I like the Tretorns, they are more unique but will still go with lots of stuff. They look more upscale, and not so much like what everyone else wears. Oh yea, either color looks good. Best Wishes :)
Reply:dude! do yourself a favour and steer clear of both those otpions.

My van shoes are getting pretty old and i need a new pair of shoes i can wear wherever. Any suggestions?
Casual shoes?
Can I suggest a brand called Rocket Dogs? They are slip-ons and look like they are worn in, so they are the awesomest. Van%26#039;s are pretty darn cool too.

Reply:footprint annapolis, its a mary jane
Reply:hmm i don%26#039;t have anything in mind cuz i dont kno ur style, but i can say that you should get sumthin REALLY comfortable, and cute at the same time!
Reply:While Vans are nice and comfy, a new pair of shoes is always a blast. My personal favorite is a brand called Le Coque Sportif- very stylish and comfortable. Another option which I love are Abercrombie and Fitch flip flops. Unlike regular flipflops the ones at A%26amp;F are squishy and allow maximum comfort.
Reply:well you can all ways buy a new pair.
Reply:get more vans they r awsum i have two pairs of slip ons and i love them
Reply:If you want to be just plain, then wear converse shoes: http://z.about.com/d/shoes/1/0/u/K/conve...
You can even create your own on the official website.
There are high tops (http://www.jacksshoes.com/jacks/assets/p... low tops (like the first link), and slips (http://www.warakuusa.com/men_shoes/Conve...
These kinds are also comfortable (http://www.warakuusa.com/men_shoes_conve... just not this pattern.

Casual shoes?
I%26#039;m looking for a nice pair of casual shoes, like trend athletic ones just for wearing when I don%26#039;t feel like wearing flats, sandles, uggs, whatever. I%26#039;ve looked online and haven%26#039;t seen any I like. My feet are relatively big (size 8/9), so I want a colour scheme or style that would make them look a bit smaller. Links are appreciated, no Keds please!
