How to fit red shoes to a styling?
Expressive, full of energy and associated with passionate emotions – red colour. It fits best to women, however, it's not only their domain. It's enough to get familiar with a few simple rules that enable you to create a unique and expressive look in the future. Such a colour doesn't like to be challenged by another one. But, on the other hand it doesn't have to dominate the entire look to play the main role within a styling. Therefore, red in men's fashion works under the rule 'less is more'. Instead of placing a bet on deep red hoodies, T-shirts or jackets choose - not less impressive - red details or shoes. All the more that such shoes are one of the hottest trends of the latest seasons in casual fashion.
Red shoes are undoubtedly fashion must-haves. They are eye-catching and add edgy look to even the simplest stylings. However, shoes will only shine if they get properly matched to other parts of a styling. Remember, these shoes don't fit elegant stylings. Matching them with woollen suits, stylish coats or elegant shirts is definitely not a good idea.They can be smoothly introduced to a smart-casual styling, particularly during warmer summer days. In such a situation, place a bet on slip-ons or stylish moccasins. It's also worth to think about shoes' fabric. Such outfits look best with shoes that are made from suede or faux suede. They are trendy and impressive and at the same time don't glare so much. If you still have doubts about red colour, you can choose its toned and faded shade – claret. It is a great replacement for neutral brown.
Claret or red shoes look amazing when matched with neutral or faded colours. Beige, navy blue, shades of blue or grey fit outstandingly. Similar to white or black, red shoes provide a styling with a proper colouristic balance. Use them in a toned styling with beige chino trousers, a white T-shirt or a shirt, in outfits with a navy blue blazer and sky blue jeans or among the look with grey trousers and a black shirt. It's worth to connect their redness with other details in the same shade. A subtle checked pattern, a red print on a T-shirt or decorative stitchings on a suit jacket will surely work like a charm.
The most interesting outfits with red shoes are the ones that fit streetwear or casual style. You have a plenty of opportunities to experiment and the final effect can be really surprising. In the beginning, you should plump for toned colours and neutral stylings in which red shoes play the main role and the other parts of the outfit are only a background. A grey hoodie, graphite trousers, denim joggers or jeans are the most obvious elements of such an outfit. The braver and more fashion-experienced people may go a step further and match red with navy blue, beige, a trendy camo or an iconic checked pattern.
The loose and casual styling with red shoes is nicely complemented by red details. It's only important not to overdo it. A hoodie or a cap with an overprint, a checked sweatshirt or a red checked grunge shirt will balance and finish this look off amazingly. Although you should be careful in matching colours, providing a styling with trendy details like quiltings, urban zippers, fashionable pockets, stitchings or mixing patterns and fabrics is a great idea. It's thanks to such a 'detailed nonchalance' that these stylings have something “unique” and everyone keeps an eye on them.
