When In Doubt, Wear Yellow
Unfortunately this week I wasn't able to attend the fashion events that i'd planned...
In search of my own entertainment I headed uptown wearing these Lemon Board Flips sneakers from the 2007 Ice cream collection. To be honest my initial plan was write about the average joe who wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair sneakers like these, but i’ll save that for another post.
Wearing yellow shoes can be a fun and bold fashion choice that adds a pop of colour and personality to your outfit. Here are some pieces of advice to keep in mind when incorporating yellow shoes into your wardrobe:
Balance with Neutral Colors: Yellow shoes are vibrant and attention-grabbing, so it's often a good idea to balance them with neutral colours like white, black, grey, or beige. These neutrals will allow the yellow shoes to stand out without overwhelming your outfit.
Monochromatic Look: If you're feeling adventurous, you can create a monochromatic look by pairing your yellow shoes with clothing items in shades of yellow, mustard, or other complementary warm tones. This can create a cohesive and visually striking outfit.
Contrast with Complementary Colors: Yellow is opposite to purple on the colour wheel, so shades of purple, plum, or even deep blue can create a nice contrast with yellow shoes. This contrast can make your outfit visually interesting and balanced.
Casual and Chic: Yellow shoes can work well in both casual and more formal settings. For a casual look, pair them with jeans, shorts, or sundresses. For a more polished look, consider pairing them with tailored pants or a solid-coloured dress.
Patterned Outfits: Yellow shoes can also work with patterned outfits, but make sure the patterns don't clash with the vibrancy of the shoes. Stick to patterns that have some yellow in them or that match the overall colour scheme.
Accessories: Consider incorporating yellow into your accessories, like a yellow handbag, scarf, or jewellery. This can help tie your outfit together and make the yellow shoes feel like a deliberate choice.
Confidence is Key: Wearing bright yellow shoes is a statement, so wear them with confidence! When you feel good about your outfit, it shows, and that confidence can enhance your overall look.
Season and Occasion: Consider the season and the occasion when choosing to wear yellow shoes. They might be perfect for a spring or summer outing but might feel a bit out of place in the colder months.
Comfort and Style: Remember that comfort is just as important as style. Choose a pair of yellow shoes that fit well and are comfortable to walk in. Uncomfortable shoes can detract from the overall look and experience.
Personal Expression: Fashion is all about expressing your personal style, so don't be afraid to experiment and have fun with your outfit choices. If you love the idea of yellow shoes and feel great in them, go for it!
Ultimately, fashion is about expressing yourself and having fun, so don't be afraid to try new things and find your own unique way to incorporate yellow shoes into your wardrobe.
