Nine Kind of Shoes That Every Woman Must Have

If you are a typical woman, you probably have dozens and dozens of sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, loafers, boots and other kinds of footwear. But just how many of those do you actually love wearing? How many of them fit you properly and complement the fashion sense you have while still being versatile enough for different uses? You might be surprised that all you need to have are nine kinds of shoes that would be able to fit any lifestyle you have.

1. Expensive-looking shoes.

A couple of pairs of these would do for work wear. Assess what kind of shoes your boss wears and get a pair or two of a similar style. You would be able to always look stylish yet appropriate, and you would always have a pair to use just in case one needs to be repaired. You could probably go with pumps, as they are easy to wear and flattering. They are the typical and classic work shoes for women, particularly for those who work in banks, offices or upscale shops. Try to look for shoes that are dark or medium-neutral in color such as chocolate, black, burgundy, cordovan, charcoal or navy so that they would be able to complement any work wear you choose to put on.

2. Warm-weather work shoes.

Your best bet for these would be a two-part pump or peep toe shoes that would have a light shade like beige, tan or light gray.

3. Sling backs.

A pair with a neutral shade would definitely look chic if paired with straight skirts or classic-cut trousers. These could be worn with stockings or bare legs. They would also work with semi-formal and formal wear. They can also make wearing jeans sophisticated and can dress up denim skirts.

4. Strappy dress sandals.

You would need these for formal and semi-formal attire. Plus, they could make a pair of jeans look sexier, too. The best colors would be pale neutral or mid-tone, as well as metallics like silver or gold.

5. Casual shoes.

A neutral-colored pair would be great for weekend use. A woman could not go wrong with the classics like moccasins, oxfords, loafers or clogs.

6. Athletic shoes.

They should look good enough to wear with your Juicy Couture tracksuit but would be good and comfortable enough to wear for workout at the gym.

7. Boots.

A pair that is medium or dark neutral would be best for boots. You could choose a pair that would be classic enough to wear for work but would still be sexy enough to wear with a pair of jeans and a simple shirt.

8. Casual, warm weather shoes

Get two pairs of these in a light neutral color. A pair of sandals, flip-flops or ballet slippers that are made with quality and dressy material such as leather would be fabulous choices.

9. Galoshes or weather-protective footwear.

This is a must-have if you spend a lot of time outdoors.
