In my previous job, since the environment was quite conservative, I always chose a classic looking shoes whenever I can. Once in a while, I let my true nature came out and wore a more fierce looking shoes, but that didn’t happened too often. But since I left that job and joined FD, I’ve let myself go and never look back into those timeless pair of shoes. I’ve sorted out my shoes and taken out pairs that look like they’re too shabby to be worn again.
After two years, I’ve just realized that all my shoes are either colourful or fierce-looking ones. Whenever I’m looking for just a regular pumps, I’m only left with two choice. And they’re my good pairs, which nowadays, I’ve worn for far too often 🙂
I guess, whatever job you’ve got, classic looking pumps or shoes, with neutral tone are always a staple in everyone’s wardrobe. That’s why, I’m starting to build my collection again.
Here’s what I constitute as classic pairs:
- Style: pointy or round toe pumps or peep toe heels. It need to be mid heels at the least and can go up to 10 cm. But not too high to make them uncomfortable to walk in. Something too low will not be too easy to mix and match as well.
- Colour: those in neutral tone that can be matched with outfit with different colours. On top of my head, those that I consider as ‘classic’ are black, nude and white, but I would also add grey, taupe and navy onto it as well. Why? Because many people own work attire in those colours as well.
Since it’s the sale season, it’s the perfect time to build back my classic shoes collection. One thing that you can always rely, season in and season out, classic looking shoes are always there to stay. But they’re always the one that run out the fastest during sale season. You need to catch them early during sale season.
My new acquisition:
Staccato pointy pump, Mango suede round toe heels and Pretty Fit peep toe heels
What about you, what kind of shoes do you consider as classic?
