Shoes can stylishly top off your gown, or they can make you look like a clown. Your goal is to go for a pair of shoes that compliments your look while they still let you dance the night away. Here are some tips will get you off on the right foot.

Style. Styles are wide open, but a lot depends on the season. Open-toed, strappy sandals are grand. Unless, of course, it’s snowing. Closed toes pumps are always in vogue and work especially well in foul weather. And nothing is wrong with a jazzy pair of flats. Just make sure they’re jazzy and don’t look like those slip-ons you wear to walk the dog.

Color. Black may go with everything, unless that everything is a formal dress. If you’re decked out in a white, champagne or pastel gown, black shoes look clunky and crummy. Opt for a color that matches or enhances the gown. White with white works, while champagne goes with tan, and pastels can work with silver or light gold.

Ability to walk. Perhaps even more important than the style and color is your ability to walk in them. If you can’t walk in your snazzy shoes without tripping, stumbling or falling flat on your face, you don’t want them. If you can walk, but they’re killing your feet, you don’t want them, either. Try out your new shoes by wearing them around the house in short increments. Walk on carpet so you can return them if you fall before you take more than six steps.

The right shoes will let you stand proud in your formal gown and dance the night away!
