While the color red evokes feelings of seduction, romance, and passion, wearing the vibrant shade the wrong way can create an unflattering disaster. With just a few hints, tips, and tricks you could feel glamorous and confident in your red shoes without feeling like you borrowed them from Bozo the Clown. Be careful though, you might just stop traffic when you walk around in these fabulous red finds!
Ready in Red
Ease your way into the risky road of red by starting off flat. The Adalia shoe by Hush Puppies fuses smooth red suede with brown leather to tame the wild red into a two-toned masterpiece that’s comfortable for everyday.
Do: Try these flats with a pair of your favorite dark skinny jeans and a cute leather clutch.
Don’t: Wear light, washed-out jeans with these shoes. The light contrasting with the dark red will make your outfit look sloppy.
C’est La Vie
Inspired by the chic, classic, Parisian style, Barefoot Tess’s Bordeaux pump gives you a European flare. The 3-inch heel on this red, rounded-toe beauty will make you feel elegant and stunning as you lounge around at a sidewalk café drinking a glass of Bordeaux.
Do: Wear a black, beige, or white dress with luscious, red lipstick to complement this shoe perfectly.
Don’t: Wear colors like green, pink, and blue. They’ll clash with this chic, elegant shoe.
Rock the Boot
Glam up your fall style with a splash of color by strutting in the 4 1/2-inch Cane ankle booties by Michael Antonio. The wedge heel on these red additions makes it comfortable in the rain, sleet, or snow!
Do: These booties go perfect with a pair of dark pants and a beige trench coat.
Don’t: A red coat and red shoes can make your outfit too loud. Try wearing one or the other, but never together.

For college girls who need to walk, hike, or even bike from class to class, flats are a common favorite. If you’re a flats enthusiast hoping to embrace some novel styles, or pay proper homage to some comfortable flat fashions, then you’ve come to the right place. Here is a quick lesson in versatile and must-own flats that are sure to ready you for back-to-school and then some.
Neutral News
Contrary to popular belief, black flats don’t go hand-in-hand with every outfit in your closet. Gray, nude, taupe, and tan editions are more likely to become your go-to shoes during those rushed, late mornings. So if you’re in the market for chic simplicity and versatility, try the Smith flat by Justfabulous in nude to get you through the day. Diamond and triangular shaped cutouts throughout the flat provide your feet with comfortable breathability, making them perfect for a swift walk or jog between classes or to appointments. The slightly pointed toe, stud details, and grommets compliment the cutouts perfectly to create a flirty yet fabulous edge and attitude.
Color Crazy
When your wardrobe craves some flare, bold colored shoes are sure to satisfy. Multi-colored options and attractive prints not only add color and pop, but will also tie together a number of your wardrobe choices. To get the highest mileage possible out of colorful flats, try BC Footwear’s Limousine Raffia. Made from raffia instead of canvas, these shoes will stand apart from the crowd based on their creative texture alone. A pink trim lines the shoe and subtly introduces fashionably zigzagging reds, yellows, greens, and blues that overlay a neutral undertone. Thanks to this happy marriage between bold colors and a nude canvas, you can feel fun, flirty and chic as opposed to tacky and over-the-top.
Seasonally Inspired
If you find it too difficult to stow your favorite summer wedge in your closet, then you’ll love the Mateos flat by Lela Rose for Payless. These peep-toe flats are made from leather and woven synthetic material adorned with multicolor strips and a culminating taupe leather front knot. The open instep creates a casual sandal-like vibe that’s perfect for warm days. A covered heel of the same stripped material and a taupe leather ankle strap offers you a perfect mix of support and style. Available in dark blue, these shoes take your favorite summer style and transform it into a wearable fall fashion.

During the hop-scotch playing and pigtail wearing days of yore, we ladies wore jelly shoes – flexible peep-toe sandals that boasted a plethora of cutouts and a versatile range of usages. This season, shoe designers embrace their inner child while adding a noticeably adult-like twist to this revamped warm weather favorite.
Best Wear About Town Sandal
If you desire a tastefully trendy shoe that promises to carry you from a business lunch to the grocery store across town, look no further than the Scapoli flat by Ivanka Trump. Perfect to dress up or down, this fun flat packs a punch with a metallic stud and buckle-detailed leather strap located right at the rounded toe. This outfit enhancer comes in your choice of hot pink, baby blue, or classic black.
Best Fancy Twist on the Jelly Sandal
Today’s modern woman recognizes the incomparable worth of a multipurpose fun, flirty flat. The Campana by Melissa Shoes can take you from your morning commute to your nighttime escapades for no more than $63. Available in glamorized shades of gold, silver, and reliable black, these sassy sandals sport a series of intersecting slender strings, a rounded ballet-flat toe, and tons of appreciated air conditioning.
Best Rubber Flat to Wear for a Fancy Event
Intent on elevating the rubber shoe to a formalwear alternative, designer Stuart Weitzman stops the presses with the Pellets. Complete with a muted rubber upper boasting just a hint of shimmer, this rubber sandal is a must have. Yet, the real show stopper is the metallic studded circular add-on at the rounded toe that elevates this shoe from stylish to sophisticated.
Best Barely-There Rubber Sandal
If you’re looking for a summer shoe with a little less coverage, rubber is still an option. The Luxe Honey by SM for Steve Madden features a covered heel and a simple strap at the toe, accented with a quirky oversized fabric flower. This light and airy sandal comes complete with a budget-friendly price tag of $35. This way, you won’t feel the slightest tinge of regret when you purchase a pair in each of the six summer-friendly shades.

When we’re on that shoe hunting adventure, so many of us reach for the sky-high platforms and crazy colors. But what about practicality? What about comfort? What about shoes that can go from day to night to work to weekend? Flats, my friends, are the answer. Here’s a look at the flat styles you need in your shoe wardrobe to ensure you have a comfy option for almost any occasion.
Work Flats
We all need flats to get us through the work week. We suggest that at the very least you purchase one pair that’s neutral enough to wear with almost anything, and one pair that packs a punch of color. When choosing a neutral color, black is always a favorite, (and the Bow style from Marc Joseph is a must) but shades of gray can be just as versatile. And when it’s time to get colorful, think hues of red or blue. These shades can add a pop of color to an otherwise drab outfit. Read more »

A while back, we profiled Dr. Scholl’s answer to the age old problem of tired soles. Namely, they created a pair of disposable flats that you can pick up at just about any Duane Reade – or other pharmacy retailer – to wear when your dogs are barking and you just can’t face a long, barefoot walk home.

Exotic shoes can include fish skin, animal print, and vintage-style pumps, so you might already wear these exotic styles more than you think. But can you wear your exotic shoes to the office regularly? These daring shoes for daily wear can have you doing just that.
Unusual Giraffe Print: If you ever see a pair of shoes in brown-and-white giraffe print, snap them up! This animal print is less common and therefore can be used in more situations, and if you find a shoe that has a strappy upper, the giraffe print is minimized to look just like a regular pattern.
