The goal of choosing the right shoes is to look great, be practical and feel comfortable. Therefore, when choosing your shoes, you need to consider many factors that will affect your style. As a matter of fact, the style, material, color and form of shoes suitable for each outfit are different. By following a few small tips and style rules, you can discover how to choose shoes according to your outfit.

What Should You Consider When Choosing Shoes According to Your Outfit?

It may seem a bit confusing to find the model suitable for every outfit among the stylish and comfortable models in Derimarket's 100% genuine leather women's and men's shoe collections. However, when you evaluate the right factors, you can easily determine the right shoe for all conditions, regardless of your style, season, destination or comfort expectations. When trying to find the right shoes for a particular outfit, you should definitely pay attention to these tips.

Seasonal Suitability

You can take a look at the seasonal recommendations to answer the question of how to choose shoes for summer and winter clothes. Because the features of shoes that meet style and comfort expectations change every season. In winter, shoe models that offer warmth and at the same time add a strong statement to your style, such as women's or men's leather shearling boots, stand out. In the spring and autumn seasons, shoes that are compatible with changing weather conditions, such as women's leather loafers, sneakers, booties, ballet flats, or espadrilles, are suitable. Men's or women's leather slippers and sandals models for summer stand out with their appearance that allows the feet to breathe and is compatible with many summer outfits.

Color Matching

As for the question of how to ensure color harmony when choosing shoes; You may have three different choices at this stage. First of all, you can create stylish looks in a practical way by choosing the same color tone of your shoes as your outfit. If you want your shoes and outfit to complement each other, you should consider complementary colors. For example, if your outfit is multicolored, you can choose a solid-colored shoe that contains one of those tones. If you like to be bold and assertive, you can also use bright and bold tones in your outfit.

Fabric Type

Fabric type is also an important criterion in choosing shoes, as it directly affects the degree of formality and style of your outfit. In autumn and winter, fabrics that protect body temperature such as wool, velvet, suede, knitwear, flannel, fleece and genuine leather come to the fore. Therefore, when choosing shoes, it is important to choose thick fabrics such as sheepskin leather boot models. In summer and spring, breathable and natural linen, cotton, denim or modal style fabrics are worn more often. Derimarket's genuine leather slippers and sandals models look and feel perfect with your summer shorts and dresses made of light fabrics.

Comfort

Whether you are getting ready for the office, a stylish invitation or daily life, feeling comfortable with shoes should be your priority as well as looking stylish. Orthopedic support may be required for comfort, especially in the shoes you will wear in daily life, at school or in the office. Orthopedically supported or padded shoe or boot models help your feet feel comfortable for long hours. If you need to wear high heels on special occasions or formal occasions, you can look both comfortable and cool by choosing the optimal heel length and thickness.

Trouser Cut

Trouser cut is another important criterion that directly affects the length, style and color of the shoes. Straight cut trousers, referred to as Straight, are compatible with all shoe models. It creates a modern look, especially with men's leather shoes, boots and loafer shoe models. Flare flared trousers look perfect with stilettos, wedge sandals or heeled women's leather boots. For boyfriend-style casual trouser models, elegant low-cut boots, ballet flats or sneakers without thick soles can be preferred.

Heel Height

The most comfortable heel height you should choose may vary from person to person, depending on the shape of the foot, shoe model, and how experienced they are in wearing high heels. Ultra high-heeled shoes between 7.5-10 cm add elegance to evening dresses at official events or important moments such as proms. The most suitable heel height for classic wear is 7-8 cm on average. 3-4 cm shoes, referred to as low heels, are suitable for times when you want to feel comfortable while adding some height to your outfit.

Accessory Compatibility

When deciding on your shoes, you should consider your accessories, especially if you plan to make a complementary or tone-on-tone combination. You can choose leather boots or boots in the same tones as classic accessories such as a leather brown belt and leather bracelet. If you have made colorful choices in your accessories, you can create a coordinated look with ballerinas, boots or slippers in cream or nude tones to create balance. To look harmonious with winter accessories such as fur gloves and hats, you should invest in pieces such as fur boots.

Bag Compatibility

Shoe and bag compatibility is one of the most important factors in striking the right balance of style. Derimarket uses 100% genuine leather materials in its bag and shoe collection for perfect coordination. Suede leather backpack models in the Pegia bag collection allow you to guarantee effortless elegance when combined with women's boots in the same colors. Additionally, if you have chosen a very colorful and flashy daily outfit, you can create a balanced style by choosing a neutral-colored clutch bag and shoes in the same colors. When going to the office, you can stylishly complement your documents with classy pieces such as a brown leather briefcase with elegant pieces such as stilettos or Oxford shoes.

How to Choose Shoes According to Dress Style?

Deciding to buy the perfect shoe to match your dress style isn't always easy. If you make the wrong choice, the dress you have chosen with great effort may not look the way you dreamed. Therefore, it is very important to choose shoes with the appropriate dress style. High shoes with platform heels usually look great with evening dresses. Since pencil dresses reflect the seriousness of the office environment, it is more appropriate to combine them with elegant stilettos. You can complement daily models such as shirts, t-shirts, double-breasted or denim dresses with comfort-oriented and stylish shoes such as women's leather slippers, sneakers or ballet flats.

Choosing Shoes According to Skirt Length

If you are combining it with a dress, you should choose shoes according to the skirt length so that your proportions look neat and your style stands out. If you are wearing a maxi dress to a formal event, it is important to choose feminine shoe models such as stilettos or heeled sandals, appropriate to the season. Short dresses allow you to have much more freedom in choosing shoes. Boots, flat shoes, slippers, sandals and sneakers can lengthen your legs with short dresses. When it comes to a midi dress, you can choose heeled sandals, stilettos, short-heeled classic shoes or booties in nude tones to make your legs look longer.

Which Shoe Model Is Suitable According to Personal Style?

Regardless of seasonal conditions, occasion, trends or clothing type, it is important that a shoe carries a piece of your style to make you feel good in it. You can pay attention to the following tips when choosing shoes according to different personal styles such as sports, classic, modern, minimal or eclectic:

In a busy office environment, models that prioritize comfort, such as sneakers or women's leather loafers, come to the fore.

Special Occasion Wear
