Shoes That Go With Everything: The Capsule Shoe Wardrobe

As every woman knows, finding shoes that go with everything can cause quite the headache and is the aim of every shopping trip. Whether it’s a pair of comfy heels for work and nights out or a pair of ankle boots that look great with your new jeans, dresses or skirts.

What Is A Capsule Shoe Wardrobe?

A popular trend of the last few years has involved creating your very own capsule wardrobe – and shoes are a very important part of that. A capsule wardrobe consists of around 15-20 items that can be worn together in various ensembles to create different outfits and versatility is the key. Choose neutral shoes for an effortless mix-and-match style, or embrace bold colours and add a touch of personality to your outfit.

Classic colours, shapes, and styles ensure your shoes remain versatile staples in your wardrobe. Opt for leather uppers – they’re easier to care for and, with proper maintenance, can outlast many synthetic materials. Remember, comfort is key! Shoes that pinch or rub won’t see the light of day. Choose wisely and prioritize both style and well-being for shoes you’ll love to wear.
