Bag and shoes - how to choose one to the other and not spoil the image?

Send

Previously, creating images was much easier: a woman picked up a bag and shoes of the same color, most often black, and had no doubt that she looked great.

Now the task has become more complicated: designers no longer consider shoes and a bag of the same color to be the solution to all problems, and when making sets, you have to be more inventive.
Fortunately, fashion never repeals the old rules without offering anything in return, and here are some tips for combining shoes and a bag to create different looks.

Solution 1. Nobody canceled the classic

Nobody bothers you to adhere to the old course and still pick up shoes and a bag that are perfectly matching in color. It looks interesting in monochrome sets, as well as if you create a retro-style ensemble. If you want to make the image more modern, then you can choose shoes and a bag of the same bright color. For example, red sneakers and a matching bag or orange shoes along with a clutch of the same color will make the rest of the muffled image more perky.

Please note that in most cases, a bag and shoes of the same color will visually add you an extra 5-7 years.

Solution 2. Play with the flowers

A multicolor bag and one-color shoes (and vice versa) go well together if the color of one of the accessories matches one of the colors of the other.Feel free to put pink boats in a pair to a white and pink bag, complement gold shoes with a bag with large accessories for gold, etc.
It is also necessary to adhere to the rule of color compatibility and pick up a bag of cold color for shoes in a cold tone, and warm - for warm.

Solution 3. Style unity

In our age of eclecticism, when sneakers are worn with dresses and a pencil skirt, and the most relaxed stars easily combine them even with a tuxedo, sets that are designed in the same style seem a little monotonous to some. But this does not mean that such a decision has no right to life. You can easily combine boats with a minimalist decor with a strict office bag of a rigid form, and cowboy-style boots with a bag with a fringe. Choose a sports bag for sports sneakers and complement the shoes with stiletto heels with a clutch - this will become a win-win option. Also, pumps look perfect with a small black dress, a narrow skirt, a formal suit and small handbags, but not with wide trousers, voluminous cross-body bags or suede light-colored bags.

Solution 4. Do not overdo it with the decor

Remember that there should be only one emphasis in the image, otherwise the audience will begin to ripple in the eyes. Therefore, if you choose a bag with an abundance of decorative elements (applique, floral and geometric prints, stripes, etc.), then a pair of shoes with simple design will fit it, and vice versa.

Solution 5. Choose a bag or shoes matching the clothes

In this case, the second accessory may be in a contrasting color.For example, if you combine a light blue shirt with dark blue jeans, you can complement the image with blue ballet flats in the color of jeans, and choose a bag in beige (if you want a calmer look) or bright (for example, red or muted orange).

Solution 6. With what to wear "exotic" bags?

Bags made of crocodile leather or imitating crocodile skin look harmonious with a strict suit, lightweight trench coat and gloves of any length. Of shoes suitable ankle boots, classic boats and boots, "Oxford". But you should not wear such a bag with chiffon dresses, miniskirts or down jackets. Also, shoes made of python skin, satin shoes, ballet shoes, shoes with an unusual shape of the heel will not look.

Bags with a print of “leopard skin” are in harmony with plain black shoes, especially suede, but shoes with rhinestones, plastic heels or shoes made of exotic leather look bad.
Shoes with the same print also require a bag of plain material, usually dark.

Some comments

Pay attention to fittings. If the clothes have metal fittings, a bag with golden fittings is unlikely to look harmonious with it.
Do not combine varnish bag with varnish shoes. It looks as ridiculous as a crocodile bag combined with shoes of the same texture. On the contrary, a mixture of dullness and shine will look stylish, for example, a combination of a metallic handbag (the current trend of autumn) and matte plain shoes.Also brown or beige shoes go well with a golden or bronze handbag.
Experiment. Modern fashion offers many opportunities for self-expression. What used to be a style taboo looks fresh and modern today. You can combine sneakers even with a strict office bag, even with an evening clutch. So look for your style that more fully expresses your personality.
