Brighten Up Your Look With Neon Shoes Ballerina Flats, Heels, and Sandals

1 Comment 21 April 2011

Even if you gravitate towards mono chromatic colored clothing like black or white, it is always a good idea to have a little bit of color infused in your look. While you can do this with your accessories, I think it is better to add some colorful shoes to your outfit. While a standard bright color is great, why not try something a bit more daring and wear a pair of neon colored shoes.  Neon is the perfect way to invigorate your wardrobe.  Wearing neon footwear though is not only for when your palette is basic, you can wear these shoes even if your clothing is colorful or  a pattern.  Just be careful if your clothing is busy and that the neon shoes you choose complement , not compete with your clothing.

Miu Miu has a great pair of neon colored flats that come in both pink (pictured) and in yellow. These feminine ballet flats have a multi layer bow at the toe area. The bow has fine black stitched detailing giving the shoes a bit of an edge to  them. These are fun and playful shoes that would look great with a casual outfit. I would stick to a solid skirt or short and a top that has some color to it. If you want to wear clothing that is neon try to find something that has a neon accent and is not too bright.

Also made by Miu Miu are some great high heel shoes that are predominantly black and have neon pink accents. The first shoes, the Two Tones Perforated Slingbacks, are a skinny neon color strapped slingback sandal with perforated detailing at the toes. Unlike most perforated shoes, the holes are not see through, rather there is some neon pink shining through. There is also a bit of pink at the back of the heel and at the front of the footbed. The other shoes, Tri Color Leather Strappy Sandals, are a black double strap sandal with neon pink, black, and white detailed patterning at the back of the shoe as well as the heel of the shoe. Adding to the detailing at the back of the shoe is an exposed gold zipper. You can either use the double straps to put on and remove the shoes or the back zipper. Both of these shoes are great to wear with a black or white dress because they will add a pop of color. The tri color shoes especially add a surprise detail since the color is only seen in the back and from the front it appears that you are just wearing a pair of double strap sandals. You also can pair these shoes colorful clothing if you prefer.

Though wearing neon may be a bit of a risk taking task for some, if you really want to take this look to a whole new level then you need to own the Jimmy Choo Neon Magnum Sandals. These shoes are almost 5″ high though there is a small platform at the front to make wearing such a high heel a bit easier and comfortable. An exposed back zipper makes it easy to get this shoe on and off. The detailing of the shoe is just as impressive if not more so than the actual shape and style of the sandal. Caged neon green mesh with is accent trimmed with snakeskin that is dyed to match the shade of neon green. There is also the same snakeskin on the footbed and back of the shoe. This shoe is appropriate for almost every occasion. You can wear it day or night whether a casual or formal event.

Neon is such a fun color and truly can make any outfit go to the next level of style and fashion.  If you are a bit hesitant about these bright colors the easiest way to ease into this look is with an accessory like a sandal or a heel. The above shoes are all great choices and I hope the styling tips mentioned will help you realize that neon is not a scary color to wear.

No Comments 15 April 2011

The Bohemian Chic look is very popular right now and there are so many great articles of clothing to choose from to capture this look. One of the most unique ways to wear the Boho look is with a pair of crochet or woven ballet flats. Ballet flats  are perfect already for tying together a laid back earthy look and when the material of these shoes are a natural woven one, it really solidifies this look. Many of the woven ballet flats that are available right now are neutral in color so they will match the majority of your wardrobe, giving you so much wear from them.

The House of Harlow 1960 Kelly Crochet Flats are a square toe shoe with a bronze leather trim. A slight heel raises the foot a bit but it is still a flat. This is the perfect shoe to wear for errands or for a night out. The neutral color of these shoes will go with all the clothing in your summer closet.

Available in whiskey as well as in a light blue and a  natural, the Sam Edelman Ireton Pointed Toe Flats are a great shoe to wear when you are a bit dressed up. The pointed toe makes this shoe a bit more formal though it looks great with jeans or shorts, not just a dress or skirt.

This season there is a brand new shoe company that is making quite a name for itself. The brand is called Unleashed and their shoes are romantic and vintage inspired shoes but with a modern edge. There are three great woven flats to choose from. Unleashed makes a great woven  open toe flat, a slingback flat, and a traditional slip on flat. While the traditional flat is great, the open toe and slingback shoes are very unique and you will most definitely receive a lot of complements when wearing them. Both of these shoes come with a detachable satin ombre bow so you can decide when you want to wear the bow and when you want to skip it.
