5 Shoes an Elegant Lady NEVER Wears | Fashion Over 40

most ladies know that a great pair of shoes can make or break an outfit but an elegant lady knows that some shoes simply don't work for an elegant aesthetic in today's video I'm going through five pairs of shoes that elegant women just don't ever wear hi everyone welcome to my channel my name is Gemma if it's your first time here today's video is all about shoe styles that an elegant lady just doesn't ever wear I've got five to share with you too let's get straight into number one an elegant lady will never wear shoes that are too high that she can't walk in high heels can be really flattering they add height making you look slimmer and give a longer and a leaner appearance but it's just not a good look if the heel height is too high and they're just impossible to walk him to appear graceful and elegant lady will opt for a heel that's just right for her a kitten heel is a really versatile choice and it's usually somewhere between four and five centimeters and it's the perfect choice for day or night a classic heel between six and eight centimeters is universally a good choice for work the ten centimeter heel is a great choice for evening outs or at the weekend and then there's heels that are 12 centimeters all higher and these are really only suitable if you don't expect to be walking very far sheer number two the elegant ladies never wear our ugg boots at least outdoors anyway these slouchy comfortable boots undoubtedly keep your feet warm and snuggly but in my opinion I think they're best worn indoors and waters luxury lounge where slippers an elegant lady usually has a very graceful way about them and they move in a way that just flows effortlessly now a shoe that prevents you moving in that way is a shoe with a thick heavy platform soul and it's shoe number three that an elegant lady would never wear it's an easy shoe to choose because it will add height but it's very counter intuitive if you want to appear elegant here's an example of one of my outfits from a few years ago I think this was an outfit I was wearing to Ascot the dress came from caramel another hat was for Marks and Spencers and then you scroll down to the feet and I'm wearing some thick heavy platform soles which I think completely ruins this look I don't know what I was thinking of the perfect pair of shoes to complement this outfit would have been a pair of heels but with a flat sole and it really would have made this outfit look so much better sure number four is any shoe that is over embellished when it comes to elegance simplicity is most definitely the key an elegant lady would always avoid any shoe that's over embellished with extra bows or feathers but instead she'd opt for something with minimal decoration a shoe with simple dye Monte's can look sleek and stylish they would blend in beautifully with a sophisticated trouser suit and rather than draw the eye dramatically down to the footwear fit they would complement the overall outfit uncle boots a rewarder of staple for most of us and the right style can really complement any outfit now this seasoned biker boots are back in style but it's not a style of boot that an elegant lady would ever wear they're far too chunky and heavy for an elegant aesthetic more kind of clumpy than graceful an elegant lady would instead offer a flatter sole with a practical heel height and maybe in a color that would complement the outfit she's wearing just gives a general sleeker more sophisticated look thank you for watching today please do consider subscribing if you enjoyed the video just hit the button down below and don't forget to turn on the bail notification for any future videos
