    Chi, your advice is amazing! I find that wearing nude shoes is always the best option with almost every outfit. And I actually figured that out by watching your videos and seeing how you dress. Thank you for helping me dress better and look my best!♥️

    I stopped buying black shoes and clothes years ago - they look too harsh with my pale skin. Dark brown, dark grey, dark burgundy work best and surprisingly easy to combine with other colours.

    • @alhv1352
      @alhv1352 Год назад +17

      Black is considered a "neutral colour". It's not neutral at all. Black is too much harsh and difficult to combine.
      Well done.

    Chi…I love your nude shoe advice. most of my shoes are black…Now I see the difference… I will buy mostly nude shoes, its neutral and will go well with my clothes.
    The only thing…I don’t buy square shoe because they go in and out of fashion. I find they widen the look of the foot.
    You are saving me money and elevating my looks.

    Thank you. I have my first ever pair of nude shoes due to this channel, and also some silver ones which were second hand but unworn. Both flats as I have health problems affecting my balance.

    This video was a real game changer. I always had tons of black shoes but they never felt good with my outfits but I couldn't figure out why. Since I wear white sneakers or nude boots, I'll never go back to black shoes. (I am petite, o-shape, long torso and very short legs). Since then, time by time I exchanged my shoes and now the only pair of black shoes left are knee boots. Now I think, black shoes are the least practical shoes against what the common optinion was decades.

    I am going to sound old (I'm not!), but women my age grew up with a simple set of rules that solved many of the problems cited in the video. You know the "no white after labor day" rule that we brought down with great celebration? After labor day, at mid-latitudes and above, days get cooler. We start wearing socks, stocking, and coats. The pants and skirts switch to heavier fabrics. Sandals no longer work. We take out the winter shoes. They are black, to go with dark socks and stockings, and an overall darker wardrobe (not devoid of color, but as accent). With such a system, white pumps will never end up worn with black pants, and black pumps will never end up paired with light summer pants (as there was another associated unwritten rule for spring, where black shoes used to get put away for the summer).

    I love white shoes and also like nude and pale tan (caramel), metallic gold and taupe a lot. Aside from a few other basic colors from my wardrobe, like navy and khaki green, I stick with these colors for footwear. I have enough black shoes and boots already, considering how seldom I wear that color in clothing.

    I have to disagree about the palazzo pants with mules. I think they go well with some flat mules black included as long as they are not too chunky and can look dressier and would also look & feel better in winter. I think sandals probably only look good with palazzo pants in the warmer seasons.
    Wide leg pants look good with closed toe heels - pumps or boots, partly as the material is usually heavier as you say.

  • @lindajohnson2149
    @lindajohnson2149 Год назад

    Chi, I'm hoping you can suggest some nude colored, in-style shoes for those of us with foot issues (flat feet, pronating ankles, bunion, etc.). They typically are best with a 1.5" max wider heel with steep arch support. I'm 5' 3.5" with a longer neck, not much of a tummy but more sensitive about my hips.

    I rarely wear black, or any dark-colored shoes. I don’t agree with those people who say that “black goes with everything”, in my opinion, it doesn’t look good with most things. Then, there’s the visually shortening effect of black shoes, they rarely work for us petites. I’m always surprised when people present their capsule wardrobes with only black shoes and accessories to “keep it basic/simple”, that’s the last color I would choose. I don’t have a lot of black clothing, it doesn’t look good on me, or most people. It doesn’t merit its dominance in the market.
