Although the world of fashion was once dictated by glamorous magazine editors, women all around the world are shaking things up. You’ll find hundreds of blogs and video tutorials online that were created by everyday women that show you how to rock the hottest trends and styles. Well, we’ve created our own shoe rules of the game for the fall season, so check it out and tell us what you think!
It’s All About the Colors
The perfect outfit weighs heavily on the colors you wear. Although it can be safe to stick to one color palette, that can get boring very quickly. You can also try throwing together a bunch of different colors in one outfit, but that will most likely result in a fashion meltdown. Try using multi-colored shoes as a framework for your outfit. You can use shoes like the Beasst by Steve Madden to build your outfit from the bottom up. You can pair a neutral bottom and a dark belt with a bright colored blouse or a multi-colored feather accessory to tie together all the different colors. It’ll be simple and fun to pull together an outfit when you have a great pair of shoes to guide you.
Play the Wild Card
You want to stand out from every other woman who’s out for a night on the town, and a simple way to do this is with your shoes. Because so many women play it safe and opt for the classic black pump, this gives you the perfect opportunity to stand out with fantastic footwear like the 4-inch Haute pumps from Ed Hardy. You’ll be sure to wow the crowd with the charming floral inspired design. It’s feminine, flirty, and fantastic!
Insider Style Tip
If you still find it difficult to put together an outfit that supports your own personal style, take note of the colors that dominate your closet, then simply look for a multi-colored shoe that complements those colors. The best thing about multi-colored shoes is that they will work with the clothes you already have, which will prevent you from having to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe (unless, of course, that’s what you want to do anyway.) And while you’re on your shoe hunt you just might find the perfect pair of shoes that matches that adorable dress that’s been sitting in your closet for the last few months. Get ready to throw it on and wear it proudly with the perfect pair of shoes.

Bold colors can make many statements, but nothing says, “I’ve arrived” quite like a fabulous shade of red. Red shoes work for the office or for the weekend, as long as you know how to wear them. Red is a strong color for spring and works with the neutral shades that dominate most wardrobes. You can wear the color with camel, shades of gray, navy, and even denim. Check out our red shoe picks that will spruce up your look for spring:
Casual Chic
Woven leather is a must for that luxe summer outfit. The Audry platform sandal from Rockport works for looking chic, yet casual. They have an open toe, so you might not be able to wear them to the office (except for casual Fridays). Try the Audry platform sandals out as the focal point of your look. A simple wrap dress or a button-up shirt and capris create a chic look that can go from casual Friday to cocktail hour. Audry sandals are also great for traveling. You can wear them in the day with capris and switch to a dramatic maxi dress for evening. Read more »

Are you a fan of making your wardrobe stretch for miles?
Do you look for shoes that make your legs look much, much longer? If the answer to either of these questions is “yes,” then you’ll want to look through these neutral-color shoe tips for fresh advice.
First things first… you’ll need to pick your definition of a neutral shoe. Neutral shoes include black, grey, and white, but what about tan or nude-colored shoes? While they might not technically be neutral-colored, they aren’t so splashy that they’ll disrupt your wardrobe.
Pairing Options
Try these looks with neutral shoes.
Cream shoes with purple: A cream pump in the summer is divine, and it’s much easier to care for than tricky plain white. Cream goes nicely with muted pastels and other creams in the same outfit, and there’s something extra-special about a purple dress with a cream pair of pumps.
Black shoes with turquoise: It could be black shoes with… anything, but black shoes with turquoise are especially powerful. Turquoise needs something to ground it, and it does particularly well with black pumps, a mainstay in many women’s wardrobes and an essential for the working woman.
Light grey shoes and pink: Pink and light grey look like they belong together, and when black is too heavy for a light pink dress, they are a perfect combination. Instead of dragging down a fresh tint, try complementing it with light grey. This would also be a good time to mix up some textures, like choosing a light tweed shoe and a nubby cotton dress.
Brown shoes with deep green: There’s a fun, foresty combination to brown shoes with a deep dress dress that we’re finding we like more and more. Brown shoes in leather can often step in for black leather pumps, but they bring new dimension to colors like emerald green.
White shoes with tan: Tan’s a neutral itself, if you include anything nude-ish, and that means when you’re wearing a nude dress, you can have your pick of the shoe closet. That said, white shoes are a summery way to complement your outfits of choice, and they can add lightness to a heavy-weight tan suit or dress garment easily.
Dark grey shoes and black: Instead of wearing dark grey shoes with a black dress, why not wear a black dress with a dark grey pair of shoes? They do the same job, they’re resistant to grime, and they shake things up a bit.
Do you have a lot of neutral-coloured shoes in your closet, or do you have another preference?

Colored shoes have become popular. Women have finally started to realize that a closet full of black and brown options simply doesn’t cut it. The modern woman is moving beyond red and now delves into areas that are purple, green and blue. There’s nothing wrong with colored shoes, but sometimes we forget how to wear them. Instead of letting them be the pop of color with an all-black look, opt for these fresh color combinations for a new twist.
Purple, Olive and Gray
All of these colors are popular for fall 2010, and it’s just a coincidence that they look fabulous when worn together. If you have purple shoes that pop like crazy in the summer, tone them down with subtle shades like olive and gray for fall. Read more »

Blue, Mustard and Gray: Again, all trendy hues for fall. These colors look brilliant together and create a playful palette that will work seamlessly for weekend outfits. For blue shoes, you don’t have to own anything specific in mustard. Try a basic gray T topped with a mustard scarf to create the look.

That old rule about not wearing white before Memorial day? Consider it vetoed because with white shoes this cute, there’s no way we’re relegating them to a few hot and humid months!
Get in to the summer spirit with a pair of shoes that boast a multi-hued upper. We love the Parade sandal by Naughty Monkey, which boasts a white leather upper accented by brown leather straps with stud and grommet detailing. Another fun and funky option? The Hedy flat by Chinese Laundry, which features a safari-inspired, black and white fabric upper that will work for work or the weekend. Read more »
