OK OK OK, Nude....Get your mind out the gutter; you know where here to talk about shoes. In this case, nude shoes.
I feel like the nude shoe gets forgotten sometimes. Nude can be kind of bland, and they have the tendency to blend with your skin ….blah. So you may ask yourself….“What’s the point of wearing a nude shoe? You might as well go barefoot”. Well for the sake of not being mistaken for barefoot Britney (Spears)… and actually going barefoot, a good pair (or 3) of nude shoes are a wardrobe must have.
Nude is an all-encompassing color. Nude shoes are meant to match your skin tone when chosen properly. That means nude can go from a light cream, to blush pink, greyish, to a brown. All based on the undertones in your skin, but make sure you keep that in mind when you shop for a nude shoe. Not to say that because of your complexion, nude contrasting to skin looks great if you pick the right shoe. Part of that is the material the nude shoe is made of. Personally, I’m partial to patent leather, leather coming in second. When looking to purchase a nude shoe, nude isn’t the color that you can just plug in a search engine and purchase online. (I mean,…technically, you can, it’s just not recommended…unless you have already tried the shoe on, but you know what I mean).
*Side Note...Aldo always has a great nude shoe...
Nude shoes create the illusion of longer legs (“yes!” Screams the 5”4’ me) and in turn slims your silhouette out. And to answer the question as to what is the point of a nude shoe, because it goes with EVERYTHING! A nude shoe is more versatile than a black shoe (opinion turned fact). A nude shoe can really pull a look together, especially one of the colorful kind. Think of that wildly patterned dress or skirt that you bought and have nothing to wear and can’t decide on a color to wear with the busy pattern. Throw on a nude shoe and BAM. Perfect. Nude can instantly class up you basic neutrals like black, navy, and white. Another personal favorite with nude? Coral! I wore a coral ruffle-front dress with a patent leather nude shoe below. Punch up and bold, solid color and add a nude shoe and see what happens. (You can thank me later)
A different approach to going nude? Try an Andreia Chaves shoe.
The Brazilian-Born designer has a line of “smart” shoes, as I like to call them. She uses math her “Invisible Shoe” Line of shoes takes mathematics and art, and turns them into shoes. (If You don’t know who Andreia Chaves is, Google her immediately, her concept for shoes is amazing and she is a brilliant mathematician, my inner geek loves her for all the right reasons ….shoes+math=happy me) This shoe takes nude to a whole other level! Ok so this shoe is a BIT adventurous and Pricey. The custom made shoe will run you about $2795.95, but damnit if that isn’t an amazing shoe! (That I will admire online)
