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.

Amy, assistant designer to Beau Coops models our latest AW12 press showroom pieces (Not to tease - but we've got some really amazing pieces from our showroom this season!)

The classic brogue amps up the preppy cool

Cardigan: Loft, Pants: Loft, shoes: Beau Coops for Karen Walker

Think school girl preppy with a cool hipster edge. These brogues will get you walking, with comfort, ease and style, and you gotta love the pink stitching detail!

The relaxed work pant with the ankle boot

Top: Twenty 8 Twelve, pants: Twenty 8 Twelve, Shoes: Beau Coops

For those days you want to look professional, yet still maintain your cool edge. Team with a printed silk top or blouse for utter perfection.

Beau Coops ankle boot - Love the gold stiletto!

The statement ankle cut off trousers teamed with the latest season trends - pointy flats

Top: Loft, Pants: Twenty 8 Twelve, Shoes: Beau Coops

The basic, soft pull over helps to tone down bright pants and edgy flats. Still keeping it feminine and soft.

The skinny pants with the neutral pointy heels

Top: Just Cavalli, Pants: Twenty 8 Twelve, Shoes: Sempre Di

When you feel daring enough to pull on a pair of ankle cut skinny's on, you'll want to team them up with this season's latest trend of point heels. It allows to keep your outfit looking more proportioned and it'll accentuate the skinniest parts of your legs! (your ankles)

Heels: Sempre Di

The point stilettos and the tuxedo flare

Top: Twenty 8 Twelve, Pants: Twenty 8 Twelve, Shoes: Sempre Di

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!
