The first step in selecting the simplest shoes is selecting shoes that complement your clothing, instead of ones that compete together with your outfit.

For that reason, we always recommend pairing busier shoes with simple outfits and wearing simple shoes with clothing that features tons of prints, embellishments or dynamic accessories. It is often tricky to seek out shoes that complement your clothing, without dominating or being overpowered by it, but the truth is, it is a simple balancing act.

When you look into the mirror, do you have the element of your outfit standing out among the others?
Is your outfit too chaotic? i.e. Are the accessories on your shoes contradicting with the crystals on your dress?
Do your shoes and clothing match too much? i.e. Do your black pants, black turtleneck, and black booties all appear as one long bodysuit?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, then the quickest thanks to gather a cohesive look is to easily try another pair of shoes, and ask yourself the questions again.
