The trouser and shoe dilemma

October 24, 2011

How many times do you find yourself frantically rummaging through your messy pile of clothes every morning because you refuse to brave the day with bare legs. Instead, you find yourself opting for the classic trouser, shirt option you know will never do wrong. Satisfied with your great choice, you're standing in front of your door with the dilemma of which pair of shoes to wear with your trousers.

Great. Looks like you'll be late again trying to figure out what shoe to pair your outfit with. I know more than anyone how frustrating and difficult it is to find the perfect shoe with the perfect style pant. That's why we've dedicated a whole post in helping you style yourself better every morning you decide against baring your legs in the middle of autumn or spring and instead want to wear your favourite pair of pants.

The classic brogue amps up the preppy cool

To complement your tuxedo flare pants you'll definitely need a pair of skinny point stilettos to proportion your outfit. Beware: wearing a rounded toe heel will make you look footless! These Sempre Di heels are absolutely divine!
