How to Wear Silver Shoes
The first mistake silver shoe beginners often make is saving their new shiny silver pumps or flats for weddings, proms, and special occasions. Don’t be that person! Depending on the style, your silver shoes can go anywhere you go – to work, to school, or even to the grocery store.
DO:
• Work with a minimal color palette. A chic pair of silver flats looks amazing with winter white or sleek black trousers at home or work.
• Don’t be afraid to wear your silver sandals or flats with jeans. Pairing some silver sneakers with a denim skirt or jeans adds a stylish pop to your look.
• We love the way silver shoes add a touch of extra zing with navy and winter white. Try pairing silver shoes with white denim or your favorite skinny jeans. Then add a long navy cardigan and a striped tee to create a sophisticated French girl weekend vibe.
• If your personal style tends toward the color wheel’s brighter side, pair your silver shoes with warm red, pink, and beige tones. Your silver shoes will amp up autumn colors in the best way.
• Try dressing up your silver pumps with a plaid or tweed skirt or blazer in grey/ white/ black colors. The cool silver matched with cool plaids is both professional and on-trend.
• We think warm tones work best with silver shoes for business and everyday outfits. However, silver heels are also a perfect match for jewel-toned party dresses and special occasion ensembles. An emerald green cocktail dress with a pair of spikey, blingy silver sandals is a creative way to follow the metallic trend.
• Think about color blocking with jewel tones and silver shoes. A fuchsia blazer with navy slacks and a kitten heel silver pump is one of those classic day-into-evening combinations great to have at the ready.
DON’T:
• Overdo it. A stylish pair of silver shoes makes a statement and adds verve to your outfits. But piling on silver accessories such as bags, scarves, or hats will make you look more space alien than chic. Instead of a matchy-matchy silver bag, try an oversized tomato red tote or a jewel-colored crossbody bag if you’re looking to add more color to your look.
• Never mix metallics. Most fashion editors and influencers will tell you that mixing gold and silver metallics together is a serious fashion faux pas. We are inclined to agree. Save your gold and copper jewelry for another day and build your look around your shiny silver shoes.
