10 Essential Pairs Of Shoes You Need In Your Collection
Shoes are an important piece of every outfit. There are hundreds of styles, in every colour and pattern you could think of. So, here is our list of the 10 essentials pairs of shoes every woman (or girl!) needs in her collection.
1. Pointy toed flats
Flats are the most versatile of shoes, people tend to reach for them the most and for good reason, as they are usually the most comfortable. They are also good value for money. as you do end up wearing them quite often. So, if you can only go for one pair of flats, go for the pointy toed ones. Round toed shoes have the tendency to make your feet look more stubby, whereas a pointed toe is more feminine and makes the shoe look more expensive and high end.

2. Loafers
Another essential pair of shoes is a good classic pair of loafers. Like many of the shoes on this list, loafers never really go out of style, although Gucci recently made them even more popular. These are a classic item that can be worn pretty much with anything from an office kind of look to a pair of jeans.

3. Flat sandals
Finding a good pair of sandals, that you love wearing and reach for all spring and summer long is a necessity. When you find that one pair you cannot live without, our suggestions is that you buy it in a couple of colours, so that you can wear them with different outfits. Flat sandals are the mix between a comfortable flip flop and a more pretty shoe you would wear to go out. So, instead of bringing your entire outfit down like a flip flop would do, they actually add to or even make your outfit.

4. White sneakers
The clean simple white sneaker is one of the most essential shoes in your collection. It can dress down an entire outfit while still keeping you comfortable to walk around for hours. They have been in style forever, and we honestly don’t think they will come out of style anytime soon. You can wear them with anything you want and are good for most occasions (maybe not for a wedding or a really fancy dinner, but you do you).

5. Ballet flats
Ballet flats are not for everyone, they are a very feminine shoe that can be replaced with the loafers if preferred. However, they are still an essential for many women, who prefer them. They are cute, while still being comfortable and make an outfit look more out together then if you were wearing a pair of sneakers for example.

6. Black/Nude pumps
Heels can be a difficult category, they are adored by some and hated by others. However, if you find the right pair for you, you will start reaching for them a lot more then you are right now. So, of course we have to start of with the classic pumps. The key is to find classic pumps that you find comfortable and buy them in at least black and nude.

7. Black/Nude strappy heeled sandal
Another pair of shoes that you need in your collection is a good strappy sandal heel. Again, having them in both black and nude is the way to go, but you can find them in a ton of different colours and patterns. Having a pair with a block heal makes them easier to walk in and more comfortable in the long run, while still giving you some elevation.

8. Platform heels
Platforms are like heels on training wheels, they are amazing for people who don’t feel comfortable wearing really high heels, but still want the height. By giving you some height in the front as well it cuts of the actual height of the heel of the shoe, so it looks higher than what it actually is.

9. Chelsea boots
Boots are one of the best things about fall and winter, however depending on where you live you can pretty much wear them all year round. If you prefer a flat boot, then the Chelsea style is probably the best for you. You can get these in any colour, with a pointy or more rounded front (however, as you can guess we drift more towards the pointy-toed ones).

10. Sock boots
If, instead, you prefer a heeled boot, then the sock boots are the style you should go for. Like the Chelsea boots you can get these in pretty much any colour and pattern and with a pointy or rounded toe. They have a very similar style to the Chelsea boots, so it really just depends on your preference when it comes to flats or heels.
