How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Alright in all honestly people maybe shocked when I say this but being a guy I own 20 pairs.





2 Dress Shoes


4 Tennis Shoes/Sneakers


8 Flip Flops


1 Sandals


1 Slippers


4 Others





I will admit I am kind of metro and all but I love women and I'm proud of it if anything. I like wearing flip flops the most for comfort just not when it's like below forty. And yes I do have nice feet.


Oh and not to mention I always wear polo shirts with any type of shoes so I can look nice and dress casual but yet nice.


Alright thanks for your answers and please if you give your opinion on this please give me a positive answer. I don't want to put up with anything negative. Thank you.

Girls, what colour shoes go well with a pale yellow dress? Besides yellow and white shoes?

The dress is sleeveless and below the knees. Its pale yellow NOT canary yellow. Its a casual dress (with a pale flower print) you would wear to an outdoor event like a picnic etc.





Its casual enough to go shopping in too. What colour shoes or sandals go well with this kind of dress. Thanks

Wear some flats or wedges. I can't think of any other colors. If you want to make a statement, wear purple or green shoes.

So hot. So in. Can't go wrong with it.


Red pumps, definatly.

Reply:If you have pale skin complexion then I think a #669900 (see colorschemer.com/online).





If you have darker skin complexion then I would recommend #999900.

Reply:beige sandels with silver or pale green straps
Reply:RED SHOES!!!
Reply:I'd try a tan/nude/natural color. They'll enlongate the leg and look great with pale yellow. If you want to get them at Nordstrom, there is free shipping this month when you buy a pair of shoes. You can always return them at the store for free if they don't fit. Here are the details:
Reply:Pink, black goes with everything baige navy blue also to make the outfit pop their is always red!!!
Reply:I would go for a light brown (taupe type color). If you go with a shoe like silver, etc., I would go with one more on the gold tone as gold looks better with yellow than silver (my opinion) - a cute little pair of goldish color sandals would be very cute.
Reply:Gold, Silver, Bronze
Reply:a very light green, or the same as the color of the flowers.
Reply:Red. This brings some "bang" to your outfit, if ya know what I mean.

If you're adventurous - red

definitely. it'll stand out against the pale yellow.

Business Casual for an 18-Year-Old?

I just turned 18, and I'm a jeans-hoodie-and-sneakers kind of dresser, described by many as a "tomboy".





So, I just got a job in a small clinic as a file clerk, and the dress code is "business casual".





How can I conform to the dress standards without being super uncomfortable? A skirt is foreign to me, and wearing slacks makes me feel like I'm 35. I'm also a wuss - I tried wearing "professional" shoes and at the end of the day, my feet were drenched in blood (no joke). I still have trouble walking due to all the cuts and scabs I still have - the shoes were my size.





How can I make "business casual" comfortable for me, and appropiate for my young age? I hate sounding like I'm whining, because I know that's just the way the workforce is, but I'm stumped. LOL.

Business Casual for an 18-Year-Old?
I was a jeans and hoodie girl myself before I started working. Fortunately, there are ways to make business casual comfortable and even fun.





Unfortunately, you're probably going to have to compromise somewhere. Since it sounds like skirts aren't your think, I'd recommend taking a walk through your local Abercrombie. You'll see racks of khakis, cords and other non-jeans. Pants made for someone your age will be much more fun and a lot more flattering than more traditional slacks. And they should still be business casual appropriate as long as they're not ripped or frayed.





If you want to try a skirt, you can always pair it with a pair of tights or opaque nylons and ballet flats to make it more comfortable.





Most importantly, I don't know what you mean by "professional" shoes, but a good pair of shoes, even a pair of stiletto pumps, should never leave your feet bloody! (Tired - yes, bloody - no.) Your shoes may not have been broken in or they may not have fit properly, despite being the correct size.





After your feet heal, you can try wearing them around the house with a thick pair of socks to "break them in." If that doesn't help - throw them out!





And don't feel like professional shoes means 3" heels. There are plenty of cute and professional looking flats out there. Ballet flats are comfortable and stylish and are available everywhere in just about every color imaginable. And Sketchers has some shoes that are nice looking but still feel like your favorite pair of sneakers.





Whatever you choose to wear, make sure you're comfortable in it. After all, confidence is always your best asset, and you'll never be confident if your feet are bleeding and your clothes make you miserable!
Reply:Unfortunately, you have to leave the jeans, (t-shirts), hoodie and sneakers at home while you work. How about a nice pair of khaki slacks that fit but aren't too tight, some tops from Ross or other discount store that is form fitting but not revealing (and covers your butt), and the sleek sneaker that doesn't look as much like a sneaker? That would be the perfect "outfit" for such an office...it's comfortable but not too dressy to make you feel uncomfortable. After a month or so, you will get used to it, I promise.
Reply:Business casual is pretty much the same for 18 as it is for 38. No jeans, hoodies or t-shirts. That doesn't mean you have to wear a skirt. .


Any kind of pants that aren't jeans should count as business casual. If you're a tomboy then an oxford button up kind of shirt or anything with a collar should work.


Just remember if it's ripped, distressed or has writing on it then you shouldn't wear it.


As for shoes there are plenty of shoes you can wear that aren't uncomfortable. If it's not a "sneaker" or other athletic shoe you should be Ok. Sketchers makes great work/play shoes.





PS Kudos for being 18 and caring enough to get a job!!
Reply:I would just get a couple pairs of plain black pants and different colored shirts that are of a nice material and mix and match them. For shoes, just wear black flats, there are tons that are comfortable. In my office, business casual can be a nice pair of jeans with a nice top. Add accessories to make the outfit look dressier
Reply:You don't necessarily have to wear slacks, but I like to wear khakis or Dockers (even mens brands) with polo shirts and loafers. I look kind of tomboyish (okay let's be straight about it -- I look pretty darn "butch" most of the time LOL) but biz-caz doesn't have to be uncomfortable! I haven't worn "nylons" since 2nd grade and I've been at a business-casual job for 10 years!





Good luck!
Reply:The first and most important thing about shoes is that you break them in before you use them for any extended period of time.





Uncomfortable or not, this is the real world and you have to dress for it. I am autistic and I can assure you that as uncomfortable as you may be in business clothing, it is much worse for me.





Find clothes that are comfortable and stylish, but not revealing or 'sexy' for work. Wear them at home before you wear them at work.





Also practice good posture and manners, as you will need them.
Reply:I'm thinking that slacks will be your only option if you don't do skirts and dresses.





You can get some very comfortable work-like Skechers that would look great with slacks and a polo shirt.





You can always find nice tops a Old Navy or Target to go with you slacks.

I need shoes advice (MENS)?

Before you read on, please note that I AM A MAN, do not use womens views on this topic.





Formal Wear: I dont have any good ones right now. I have a pair of black ones, but they suck. First of all, i dont have much money so i need something now. If I were to have one pair of shoes to go with a black suit that can be worn dressy, what would your recommend? I was thinking black leather lace up? How about brown shoes? But I only have a black suit...





Casual Wear: I want to get a white/green pair of Lacoste Carnabys. And as for another pair, should I look into the john varvatos converse slipons? Or something else? Should I just stay away from sneakers, casually??? How about a pair of brown or black loafers? Moccasins? Something(s) that can go with jeans, and/or khakis?

I need shoes advice (MENS)?
You will always need a black pair for formal. Brown shoes doesn't look to good with a black suit.





Casual wear =%26gt; anything goes theses days as long as they don't stand out too much and are comfortable. Remember comfort is important.





My advice it you should take some advice from the ladies too. They shop more, so they know where to find bargains (my wife always seem to know when a sale is on) and they know what looks good on a man.
Reply:UUUUGGH I CAN'T READ BUT I LIKE WEARING PIE ON MY FEETSIES!
Reply:Tennis shoes go with jeans...get you a pair.
Reply:for dress wear get a pair of black lace ups is probably your best bet, if you don't have a lot of money to spend, try aldo shoes, they don't have the best reputation for quality, but they are cheap and stylish. What ever you don't wear brown shoes with a black suit, it's a big fashion no no. I personally find brown shoes very hard to pull off without looking old-man-ish, though they are coming back in style. And don't get one of those really big clunky pairs of dress shoes, they are uguly, and don't have the necessary refinement for dress wear.





As for casual wear, I wouldn't get two pairs of the same shoes, since judging by your question you will be in casual wear most of the time, variety is the key here, a pair of fabric slip ons like these http://www.aldoshoes.com/eng/storeSectio...


would be nice, the converse aren't a bad choice, but maybe not the chuck taylors. a pair of black driving moccasins or casual loafers would look good too, of course the season, and where you live would have some baring on what you chose too, and of cordinate the shoes with the rest of your wardrobe, for example, if it's summer, or you live in a warm climate try a pair of white leather slip ons, and of course sandals would be an essential too, or in the wintertime, or a cold climate maybe try ankle boots, or snow boots, likewise coordinate our shoes with your wardrobe, for example black shoes pair well with dark denim.
Reply:Buy the best pair of black lace ups you can afford. They'll last longer and black goes with everything. Brown doesn't. As for casual for comfort, I'd go with Clark's falcons or Doc Martins. There aren't cheap but they'll hold up for a long time if you take care of them. They go for 80 to 100 each.
Reply:The problem with men Is that they lack colour coordination and always find a way of getting into drab looking suits, shirts and ties and that brown shoe, brown shoes with a black suit? forget It!





We man are just lacking the guts to get out there and get a teal suit and set It off with a red or purple shirt and black shoes that are pointed rather than snub nosed. Use your Imagination and you will be surprised to find that women will be making some pretty smooth comments. Dare to be different? Top IT off with a black or steel grey Fedora. You will be hearing the word sexy more than you have ever heard it before.





Most Importantly you can look really great on a budget.





Tan shoes and pants lace up or slip on, offset the casual look with a cool shirt light or dark blues.





Forget about what Is supposedly In fashion and be prepared to make a statement about you. That you are not the run of the mill guy locked In on name brand clothing be a trend setter and get used to the compliments from women!





Me? discovered that the women that you will attract will be the ones that never bothered to say hello!

How do you dress for a job interview if the person who is gonna interview me told me to dress "VERY casual"?

I was told you always dress super nice, even if they tell you to dress casual. Dress shirt, tie, dress pants, and dress shoes. But what if he thinks I'm too uptight or something? Should I dress business casual, like a nice polo shirt, dress pants, and dress shoes? Or should I dress it up?

How do you dress for a job interview if the person who is gonna interview me told me to dress "VERY casual"?
That's a tough one. What kind of job is this for? Sounds like a trick to me.





I would avoid being "VERY casual" and go with some kahkis, a nice polo and decent shoes. That way, you look more dressed up than usual but not in a full out suit.
Reply:My suggestion: Schedule something on the same day that requires a suit. That will be your excuse for wearing the suit to the interview. (Even better if it's another interview.)
Reply:I think a guy looks good in a nice polo shirt,and pressed jeans,no holes or anything.or dress pants,I wouldn't wear a tie and jacket..just look nice.I would go with the business casual,if he says something say I thought this was casual.or you wouldn't want me to come in my casual(lol)
Reply:If they tell you to dress casual that means you can get away without wearing a jacket.. and depending on the position, maybe without a tie.





But really, it is always a good idea to just go fully dressed up. Nobody is going to hold it against you.
Reply:If you were told to dress VERY casual, wearing a suit is out. I would say a tie is out too. Is this at an IT company? If so, business casual is just fine (over the top on a normal working day, but OK for an interview).





Have you ever seen anybody at this company in person? How were they dressed? Dress similarly if you have.
Reply:I guess it depends on where it is. If it's a really laid back place, I'd still wear nice khakis and a button up shirt or a polo and some nice shoes. You can definitely do casual w/o looking sloppy. Good luck!
Reply:Khakis, shoes (no sneaks or sandals) a button down shirt or a polo shirt.
Reply:shirt and jeans





if he asks you to do that, he'll realize that you'll do what he says.
Reply:If the interviewer said VERY casual I would go with khakis and a polo shirt and a *clean* pair of tennis shoes.
Reply:No jeans.





Listen, dont take the risk of losing like a loser. His idea of "very casual" and your idea may be 2 different things. Therefore, wear khaki pants %26amp; a button down shirt/polo shirt, and a clean pair of decent casual shoes. Thats casual enough. Dont do the flip-flops, shorts, and dirty t-shirt thing--please.
Reply:business casual. Nice slacks, nice shirt, nice shoes.....look professional but comfortable.

What brown shoes to wear with blue jeans and blazer?

I read a lot of sites that say if you decide to wear brown shoes with jeans, you certainly can. However, you have to make sure the shoe is not too dressy, like polished type of look where you wear for formal occasions.





http://www.zappos.com/n/p/dp/12341176.ht...





Is this too polished ? I am assuming anything that says Oxford is too dressy for jeans? The thing is i want to wear a blazer with jeans along with brown shoes. The blazer is sort of tan/brownish which is why i chosed brown for shoes. I didn't know the brown shoes should not look dressy or have that polished type of look which my shoe does. This shoe is under the category of dress shoe when i bought it online.





My question is if i wear a brown/tan blazer with dark blue jeans, does the brown shoe i buy must be under the category of casual? I am asking this because i hear people saying never buy dress shoes if you want to wear blue jeans even though you may be wearing a tan/brown blazer.





Is wearing brown loafers the best idea ?

What brown shoes to wear with blue jeans and blazer?
The shoes you show here are definitely dressy.


Try loafers, moccasins, boat shoes, or any shoe that is not 'glossy' when new. [ suede oxford maybe? ]


As a general rule...


Black shoes go with black, gray, greens, blues, and purples.


Dark [ coffee bean ] shoes go with brown, tan, reds, oranges, and yellows.
Reply:I think the shoes from the link might be a tad dressy not because of the style but because they do look a bit too shiny for your blazer/jeans ensemble (although the Kenneth Coles are handsome shoes and worth it if you have other outfits to wear with them). If you have brown leather loafers that are not shiny, I think they are perfect and, yes, your best bet/idea.





Sounds like once you get yourself "all put together" the ladies will be flocking around you. And, how did I guess you were single? If you were married, you wouldn't have to ask us this question ------- your wife would already have your whole outfit picked out !! (:0)=





PS: Don't forget to wear a brown leather casual belt that's not shiny either !!

Advice on shoes for suit & dress?

I'm clueless when it comes to fashion %26amp; struggling to find shoes for 2 outfits. One is a periwinkle blue dress. The other is a suit with an ice blue jacket and a plaid-ish skirt that has ice blue, pistachio green, silver and white in it. I'm hoping I might find one pair of shoes that will work for both...usually wear black pumps or sandals but they don't quite work with these colors. I have 2 questions:





What do you think would be the best color(s) of shoe?





Do you think strappy sandals are too casual to go with a suit? The suit jacket is short sleeved and skirt is above the knee, if that matters.

Advice on shoes for suit %26amp; dress?
What type of event are you wearing these outfits for? Perhaps a dressy silver sandal with a small heal would work. Then of course accessorize with silver jewelry. What is the material of the periwinkle dress? Is it a casual sundress, a cocktail dress, or something for work? Where you plan to wear these outfits can also help to determine what shoes to pair them with. You could alos consider a flesh toned strapless backed shoe to keep it neutal and sexy. Very simple is key.
Reply:I would suggest a open toe shoe with the jacket and skirt. Bring out a color in you skirt.
Reply:GO WITH WHITE PEEPTOE PUMPS. THEY CAN LOOK PROFESSIONAL WITH A SUIT AND CUTE WITH A DRESS. YOU CAN DRESS THEM UP OR DOWN
Reply:I would do open toed heels with one or a few wide straps, then it is not too casual. Maybe a peek-a-boo toe. If you don't like having alot of shoes, the most versatile color would be white. Plus white is gool for warmer months rather than black pumps. I put a link to something I think would look nice below.
Reply:just wear a type of strapped sandle dress shoe. They work well with everything.
Reply:i;d buy shoes that you can dye to match or white low heels .other anwser/dreesy pumps would look nice hose color has alot to do with your outfits good luck (stevie)
Reply:i agree with hot_celina
Reply:i wear suits and dresses everyday for work.





best colour of shoe would be something classic so not only will it go with these two outfits but also others. try cream.





there are so many types of strappy's, i wear strappy's in the summer that have heels. if they are flat would probably be too casual
