Style Expert Shares 10 Ways You’re Wearing Shoes Wrong

The “chef’s kiss”, meaning it’s just right. Tastefully done right to be more specific. Aim for literally a sliver of skin, just enough to show that ankle.

Find the perfect fit and length, and you’ll look like a million bucks.

There was a time when this was the hip thing to do. Not only is it out of style, but it also looks a tad bit awkward especially with ill fitting pants.

It may even cause your skin to bulge somewhat.

But if you really have to, go for one or two small rolls. And notice, it’s a roll and not a fold.

It just looks way more chic and up to date. Keep it classy.

This is a look far too many are guilty of doing. While it’s not necessarily a bad thing, it can look a little odd.

But don’t worry if you still choose to tuck that jean. Just be ready to explore other options.

Like this style right here. It’s still a pair of jeans tucked into boots but now that they’re the same color, it just looks so much better.

Not to mention it elongates your legs especially with a heeled pair of boots.

Ah chunky boots. They’re pretty cool to look at and to wear. And tucking in pants into them just works really well. It’s both rugged go-anywhere, and also stylish and cute.

Go ahead and rock this look.

It’s not the 80’s anymore so hide those socks. It will feel funny at first but once you get used to it, you’ll appreciate the look even more.

Go for those sneakers. They’re comfortable and really work great in hiding within your shoe without allowing your skin to come in contact with the insides of it.

They’ll feel like perfect slippers.

The thing with that darker colored shoe is it tends to stick out and catch too much attention since it pops.

That or it sort of kills that cute look you have since it’s just suddenly dark at the bottom.

A light colored sneaker stands out in a good way, and it really compliments your outfit.

A white sneaker also screams fun and light-hearted. Just watch out for those puddles.

We’ve all tied our laces this way. And really, there’s nothing wrong with it but you have to admit, it does look a little sloppy and even old fashioned. Plus we’re not in elementary anymore.

If you want a cleaner, more stylish look, tie those laces inside. Literally tuck them in.There are many different ways to do it but the idea is the same.

Look at the difference when they’re laced inside.

The problem with this look is that it makes your feet look big, almost clown-ish. And that just doesn’t look very ladylike.

Those chunky boots will go with chunky pants. But do wear a tighter top so you won’t look chunky from head to toe. It’s a bit like those tough lady characters in films. Strong and sexy.

Or you could just wear those jeans directly over those chunky boots. It looks really good and maybe you could start this new look for yourself in the coming year. Less drama, more casual.

They may feel comfortable and make you feel confident but these wide ankle boots don’t really do anything for you in terms of style.

They tend to look a bit clumsy since it makes the wearer look like they have wide feet.

A boot with a skinnier ankle elongates your legs and makes you look so much slimmer especially when worn with the right pair of pants.

Plus it goes with many more styles.

Some hate suede since they do need extra TLC, while others wear suede in all four seasons until they wear out. So they throw them away and just buy a new pair.

There are specific products dedicated to protecting a suede finish though, and they are worth the investment.

Sheepskin wool inserts. Because having cold feet is not cool (kidding). Those wool inserts are warm and super comfortable, and having relaxed feet makes them look better for longer.

Put them in boots to help keep your feet warm all the time.

Shoes. Everyone loves them, and with each individual’s unique style, there are countless shapes and colors to choose from. Seems pretty simple too. Pick and choose what you want, match it with your favorite outfit, and out the door you go.

But apparently, people make far too many mistakes when wearing shoes, especially boots. This list goes through such fashion crimes and will force you to rethink and reassess your approach when wearing a pair.

Let’s start with:

DON’T Show too much ankle

That weird gap between the bottom of your pants and your boots counts as too much. You may be showing skin but it’s not that flattering. Of course, it may work differently for others.

Look in a mirror and see for yourself. If it looks or feels awkward, it probably is.
