You’re really late for a hangout with your friends. You already picked out the perfect look, but it’s always the shoe color that gets your mind all torn apart. You might be one of those people who wear the same shoes and don’t know how to match the right colors and style together. Want to end that dilemma? Here’s how to pick shoes for your outfits by color and style with 4 fashion tips. Before diving into the topic, make sure you choose the right shoes depending on the occasion, season, and activity. 1. CREATE CONTRAST WITH THE COLOR Pick colorful footwear if you’re wearing a neutral outfit and vice versa. Create contrasts between your shoes and outfits. If you’re going for a colorful ensemble, wear plain shoes to tone down the entire look. If you still want to go for a neutral outfit, wear flashy shoes to give your outfit a whole new vibe. Contrasting neutral and vibrant colors hint to people the piece you want as the center of attention.    The above fashion tip can also work with printed clothes. If you want the full attention on the outfit, choose a single color from it as your shoes’ color. Vice versa too: Choose a color from your shoes’ print to your outfit to let the main focus be on your footwear.  If you want to try new color combinations, use the color wheel. You’ll be amazed by mixtures you’ve never thought of before! 2. WHEN IN DOUBT, MATCH NEUTRALS TO ANY OUTFIT When it doubt, wear neutral-colored shoes like black, beige, and grey. Neutral colors like black, beige, and grey can score you the perfect look so effortlessly. They work with any outfit, like… ANY OUTFIT. Match them to whichever color the rest of your outfit is. Let’s consider this tip as an outfit saver when you’re confused and taking a lot of time to match colors!  3. MATCH YOUR SHOES TO YOUR ACCESSORIES Matching shoes’ colors to accessories is a classic fashion tip that people follow. People always love matching their outfits to accessories. When it comes to shoes, people match their color to belts when wearing suits or other forms of formal wear. You can also match them to your bags, nails, or other suit accessories. 4. MATCH THE OUTFIT TO YOUR SHOES Shoes can be the central piece that inspires the rest of your outfits’ colors! Instead of matching the shoe color to your outfit all the time, let it be your outfit’s hero by going the other way round. Let your shoes act as a statement piece that inspires the rest of your outfit. You can do this by picking out the shoes to style your clothes accordingly.  To pick shoes for your outfits by color: 1. Contrast colors, 2. Go for neutrals when you’re in doubt, 3. Match them to your accessories, and 4.

If you only have 0.00001 seconds to pick an outfit for work every morning, then this blog post is for you. We get how overloaded your mornings are with getting everyone ready and out of the house. We also get how busy you are with more work and household duties when you’re back home. But you can’t live every morning choosing the first pieces you see and leave out time to make the correct matches. Here’s a basic math lesson for you: choosing outfits + zero time left = fashion hazard. Let’s help you look great in the morning when you’re in a rush. Here are 7 ways to do it. 1. HAVE ENOUGH BASICS IN YOUR WARDROBE When you don’t have time to get ready, throw on some basics. When you’re racing against time, don’t expect to put a look together. Have enough basics in your wardrobe to dress in quickly and leave home straight away. Basics like cardigans, elastic office pants, shirt dresses, or long skirts save up a lot of time and comfortably get you to the office. 2. HAVE ENOUGH STATEMENT PIECES Add some statement pieces to your basics to glow up your look. If you don’t want to look too basic in your basics, throw on a statement piece or two. They instantly upgrade your outfit from boring to glam. Have some of these must-have accessories in your wardrobe ready the next time you’re running late in the morning. 3. START WITH SHOES, THEN GO STRAIGHT UP Matching your clothes to your shoes is another way to get ready quickly. Let your ensemble fit the mood of the day. If time doesn’t let you stop and smell the roses (or your wardrobe), go straight to your shoes. Think about the mood of the day. If it’s cold out, dress well in a pair of ankle boots and a thick ensemble. If it’s hot out, go for sandals and a faboo summer dress.You can also match your clothes and shoes by color and type. 4. KEEP YOUR WHOLE LOOK VERY SIMPLE Simple looks make it easier to choose pieces without making big decisions. Another way to dress well very quickly is to keep your look very simple and minimalist. Pick simple outfits that don’t force you to make decisions on what to wear. One-piece outfits help, like dresses, jumpsuits, rompers, or overalls. Make sure they fit your body type, or you won’t be able to pull off the look. 5. FIGURE OUT YOUR SKIN AND HAIR CARE ROUTINES Even when you run late, you must have some daily skin and hair care routines. It’s a big no from us if you go to work late with a bedhead and bad skin all the time. Figure out some practical and quick skin and hair care routines to follow every morning.   For your skin, use a tinted day cream with SPF. They replace buying and applying day creams, sunscreens, and foundations separately.  Go for hairdos that save a lot of time from getting your hair well-groomed. Ponytails and buns will get you out of the door faster than curls and braids. If you have no time to wash and dry your hair, add dry shampoo to your scalp, and scrub the top and back of your head. Dry shampoo soaks up oil from your hair and doesn’t dry out your scalp for a few days. 6. PRINT OUT A COPY OF THE COLOR WHEEL Print out a copy of the color wheel to make color matching faster and easier. If you want to look great in colors while dressing up very quickly, print out a copy of the color wheel. Just take a look at the wheel, choose your color combinations, and head right out the door. 7. GET READY BEFOREHAND Simply put, you need to work on your organizational skills—period. Cue the mic drop. Credits: Tenor Organization is the key to dressing well. Get your outfits and accessories prepared the night before. You’ll have a better chance of making the perfect match than rushing and making bad choices in the morning. Not only is picking your outfit in a rush frustrating but also preparing your bag. You forgot about that, didn’t you? If you change bags often, keep your frequently used possessions (cell phones, chargers, makeup kits, etc.) in a container to swap bags easily. As an extra tip: Find a particular spot for your bags to grab hold of them quickly. Use your chiffonier or bedside table as spots.  Think about where you’re going as well. Pack big if you’re going to the office and pack small if you’re going to a hangout. With that in mind, you’ll know how much you need to pack to your destination.  Here’s what to do to dress well if you’re always late: 1. Go basic, 2. Add statement pieces, 3. Start shaping your look with shoes, 4. Keep it simple, 5. Figure out some skin and hair care routines to follow, 6. Have a copy of the color wheel, and 7. Prepare your outfits and bags the night before. Check out other women’s fashion tips right here.

Are you tired of your basic outfits? Upgrade them with jewelry. Different types of jewelry can give off different vibes to the same outfit. Even the smallest piece can make you look more polished. It acts as your outfit’s statement piece that makes you and your whole look shine bright like a diamond. Rihanna’s famous saying never gets old!

You’ll even get a teaser on some recommended colors that are in fashion for 2021. 1. NECKLACES AND NECKLINES One of the ways of lifting your outfits is to wear a necklace. Consider your outfit’s neckline to make the corresponding necklace’s length work. Match a square neckline to a low-profile pendant that goes around your neck. Tops with scoop necklines require double pendant necklaces. Deep scoop necklines and long necklaces go well together. V necklines go with triangular pendants that fit right in the neckline. Boat necklines need long chains. Sweetheart necklines go well with chokers. Necklaces radiate your whole look. Consider your outfit’s neckline to choose the suitable necklace. 2. BRACELETS AND SLEEVES Bracelets can transform your wrist from boring to glam.  Keep these important rules in mind: The longer the sleeves, the less the bracelets; the shorter the sleeves, the more the bracelets. If you want to wear a sleeveless top, opt for cuff bracelets that take a good room of your wrist. For long sleeves, go for thin bracelets, since sleeves cover most of them. Glamorize your arms with the right number and shape of bracelets depending on your sleeves’ lengths. 3. EARRINGS AND CONTRAST Illuminate your ears with earrings to revolutionize your whole attire. Pick them to match your outfit’s different colors. They can make your entire look unique with varying color ranges.   Consider your earrings’ shape based on your face shape. If you have a round face, go for drop earrings. Teardrop earrings work best for oval faces. Think about the occasion too. Workplaces need studs or small hoop earrings. Avoid wearing long earrings that get in the way. Put them on in everyday situations elsewhere. Pick earrings that resonate with your outfit’s style and your face shape. 4. RINGS AND OCCASIONS Rings not only brighten your fingers but your outfit too. Colors matter a lot when you want to wear them. Golden rings bedazzle best when you’re pulling off a white top. Platinum works with an elegant outfit of any color. Copper works well with prints. If you own a floral dress, let them complement your nails too. It would be best if you also consider the occasion. Rings engraved in diamonds and pearls suit well in formal events. Halo, cluster, and cocktail rings also fit for conservative settings. Geometric and stack rings work in informal gatherings. Solitaire rings are versatile. Choose rings that work with your outfit’s colors and the occasion. 5. COLOR TIPS FOR 2021 In 2021, it’s becoming a trend to mix metals when wearing metal accessories. As an exclusive teaser from Sikasok, we recommend you match them to your skin’s undertone. If you have a warm undertone, opt for yellow gold and rose gold. Wear silver jewelry if you have a cool undertone. 2021 trend: Mix metals when wearing metallic accessories. Match them based on your skin’s undertone. Along with pairing jewelry with your outfits, we also recommend to consider colors.  Gold and silver are the general colors that work with any outfit. If you want to go beyond these traditional colors, look at the color wheel and try analogous (colors next to each other in the wheel) or complementary colors (colors opposite each other). Here’s an idea: Put on a purple shirt to go with a green bracelet. We did not spitball this—the color wheel did. Let’s review how you can upgrade your style with jewelry: 1. Match necklaces to necklines, 2. Consider the sleeve lengths for bracelets, 3. Create contrast in colors and sizes with earrings, 4. Match rings to the occasion, and 5. Mix metals with your skin’s undertone.   Discover more fashion tips for women and men and add zest to your outfits with bags, shoes, nail polish, and other accessorizing tips.
