What Shoes to Wear with a Red Dress

It is notoriously difficult to select the right pair of shoes to go with a red dress. The right shoe type depends on so many factors such as the cut of the dress, the shade of red, your hair colour and hair cut, body type, occasion and, of course, individual preferences. It’s impossible to cover all the different options in a single post but we try to cover as much as we can. Here’s our guide for a red dress newbie.

1. Animal print

Red dress + animal print shoes = killer combo. Zebra, leopard or snake print. For one of those days when nothing else works, this will help bring out the femme fatale hidden in all of us.

Shop animal print shoes:

// <![CDATA[ !function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790752115?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); // ]]>

2. Statement black high heel sandals

When you need a sharp accent to your red dress, go for statement black high heeled sandals. Try sandals with geometric detailing like wide/thin contrast stripes of leather for a polished look.

Shop black statement sandals:

// <![CDATA[ !function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790752115?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); // ]]>

3. Low heel boots

Perfect for a casual summer day or festival look.

Shop black boots:

// <![CDATA[ !function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790752115?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); // ]]>

4. Nudes

Nothing elongates a leg quite like a nude high heel and what a perfect companion to a red dress it is. If you want all the attention on your pièce de résistance dress, go for a nude heel.

Shop nude heels:

// <![CDATA[ !function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790752115?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script'); // ]]>

5. Strappy black sandals

Shop strappy sandals:

Classy, elegant, nonchalant.

!function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790667955?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script');

6. Contrast shoes

If you are feeling adventurous, try some contrasting shoes. The contrast can be achieved through colour, like blue or green, texture like suede or lace or fabric like denim.

Shop contrast shoes:

!function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790667955?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script');

7. Go for gold 

Why is it that gold shoes always make you feel regal? Pair them up with a red dress and look like a queen for a day.

Shop gold shoes:

!function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790667955?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script');

8. Silver

In the metallics category, silver shoes are probably a more refined companion to a red dress than the gold ones. Still a lot of reflection and shine but slightly less pomposity.

Shop silver shoes:

!function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790667955?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script');

9. Casual in sneakers

Sneakers are a no-brainer for a relaxed, comfy look.

Shop sneakers and low-tops:

!function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790667955?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script');

10. Best for the red carpet

Red dresses are a red carpet staple. We’ve seen celebrities pairing them up with matching red shoes, nude heels, minimalist black sandals and strappy heels.

Shop red carpet shoes:

!function(doc,s,id) var e, p, cb; if(!doc.getElementById(id)) e = doc.createElement(s); e.id = id; cb = new Date().getTime().toString(); p = '//shopsensewidget.shopstyle.com/widget-script.js?cb=1465790667955?cb=' + cb; e.src = p; doc.body.appendChild(e); if(typeof window.ss_shopsense === 'object') if(doc.readyState === 'complete') window.ss_shopsense.init(); (document, 'script', 'shopsensewidget-script');

High Heels Pain - How to Get Rid of it Fast

No pain, no gain? Not when you are wearing high heels! Here are your 5 tips and tricks on how to avoid pain in heels and an emergency plan when nothing else works.

1. Obvious but still relevant – know your shoe size and make sure you are wearing it.

Not only does your foot size change during the day, with your feet being at their widest in the evening, but they also change over the years, especially when being pregnant or after giving birth. So it’s always good to shop for shoes at the end of the day and to try as many shoes on as possible before buying them. As a rule: If the shoe isn’t comfortable when you try it on, it’s not going to be comfortable hours later. Also make sure you know what your size is when shopping online from overseas stores. Not all European sizes are the same (French sizing for example is one size smaller than Italian) and US and UK sizes are completely different too.

2. Cheap high heels = pain

When it comes to high heels, it’s always a good idea to invest in some high-end pieces. You’ll never wear Louboutin high heels the same way you’d wear Zara. But apart from making you feel good, the more expensive version will more likely be made of leather and not plastic, which will make your feet sweat and swell. Plastic has very little give, meaning you are more likely to get blisters where it rubs. Shoes with a leather lining, on the other hand, are softer and more supple and less likely to rub. That said, Stella McCartney does a very good non-leather shoe, with leather imitation that is super soft and comfortable. Obviously the research that goes into creating these shoes is reflected in their premium price tag.

3. Go for high heels that provide most support

If you know you have to be on your feet for a long time, go for covered heels like pumps. The more open the shoe, i.e. strappy sandals, the less support it’ll provide and cause you more pain. Open toe high heels are another good option for long nights out as the open toe feature helps relieve pressure on corns and calluses.

4. Get cushioned

These days you can buy all sorts of gel inserts for the ball of the foot or the back of the ankle to prevent rubbing, sliding and pressure issues. Just make sure they aren’t too bulky and won’t make your shoes too small.

  5. When nothing else works

If you find yourself dying from sore feet and have no flats handy or comfy platforms to put on, instead of walking home barefoot, try these two simple tricks:

1. Wet your feet in cold water, put some hand lotion on your feet while they’re still damp, then put your heels back on.

The lotion seals in the moisture of the cold water and lubricates against any sore spots.

2. Tape your third and fourth toes (counting from the big toe) together with some tape to alleviate pain in the ball of your foot.

You can use nude medical tape for a seamless look but Scotch tape will do just fine when no other options are available. If this concept sounds somewhat ridiculous, don’t worry, there’s actually science behind it. There’s a nerve that splits between those two toes, which causes pain when pressure is put upon it. The tape removes strain on the nerve and helps to avoid pain from wearing high heels.

Good luck!

Kakopieros | The Innovators: Fashion Design Studio at MBFWA 2016

Fashion Design Studio has had a Graduate Show at the Australian Fashion Week in Sydney for the past 20 years and this year is no exception. The annual ‘The Innovators” show on the official schedule presents fashion collections from a handful of FDS Fashion Design graduates who represent the future of creative Australian fashion.

Below are the images from the collection of graduate designer Demetra Kakopieros which stood out thanks to the designer’s brutal use of safety pins and metal chains as facial accessories. And even though the accessories with their thoughtful and sleek nuances add a very fine balance to the collection, they are definitely not for the faint-hearted.

The annual ‘The Innovators” show on the official schedule presents fashion collections from a handful of FDS Fashion Design graduates who represent the future of creative Australian fashion.

Below are the images from the collection of graduate designer Georgie Ipsen who caught my attention with her remarkable facial accessories which use contrasting application of fine mesh and thick wool. The threads of wool seems to be metastatically spreading across the face, only leaving enough space to breathe.
