Fashion trends 2016-2017
Fashion is constantly changing, every year we are offered to try something new, more interesting and relevant. This rule also applies to wedding shoes. For the 2016-2017 season, designers have saved up some cool ideas for us, we invite you to get acquainted with them.
Choosing a heel
As you know, the heel is one of the most important components of shoes, its height and stability are responsible for convenience, and the external design is for the beauty of the pair itself. The new season invites us to make a choice in favor of beautiful comfort. That is why we are given a wide selection of heels: from the highest to the almost complete absence of it.
Heeled shoes
A simple, familiar heel is the most successful choice for festive shoes. Such a heel is stable, moderately comfortable, its height is enough to create a harmonious look with a long or short dress.
Depending on the style of the dress, choose the shape of the heel:
-
A square heel will complement the retro look, it will suit brides who want to confidently stand on their feet during the celebration;
-
A thin heel is more elegant, it will beautifully complement a cropped elegant dress, emphasizing the slenderness of the legs.Less stable, but, nevertheless, allowing the bride to feel quite confident;
Rectangular heels have found a place among the fashion trends of the season. Stable and moderately sophisticated, they will help you find the balance when choosing the perfect pair of shoes;
- Heel of unusual shape. A wedding is a great occasion to try on an extraordinary image. If you decide on an extravagant wedding dress, be sure to complement it with shoes with unusual heels.
When choosing a heel, pay attention to its height. Comfortable heel height should not exceed 10 centimeters. The optimal height of the heel, on which you will be comfortable, fluctuates around 5-7 centimeters. In the new season, we are offered to choose between shoes for:
-
High heels. Not less than 7 centimeters, but not more than 10, taking into account the platform. Choose this height if you are short or want to visually lengthen your legs;
-
Low heels. No more than 4 centimeters. Tall girls should choose this height, especially in cases where there is a danger of being taller than the groom. Please note that low heels do not harmonize well with short dresses.
Wedge shoes
On such a sole, you will feel more stable, even if you choose a higher height. If you choose a high wedge, make sure that there is a platform in front of the shoes. This technique will reduce the height of the heel, allowing you to feel more confident all day.
A wedge heel can also be beautiful and delicate. Choose an openwork, reminiscent of lace. She will decorate your image, making it more sophisticated and feminine.
Want to spice up your outfit? Choose a heavy massive platform, decorated with spikes or rhinestones.
Keep in mind that wedges make the leg heavier and more massive.These shoes are not suitable for curvy women. Short ladies should also abandon this form.
Flat shoes
Shoes without a heel came into fashion at the same time with comfort and convenience. Maybe you are planning an active wedding and there are many interesting places waiting for you. Or you dream of celebrating your wedding in a ruffian dress and matching shoes. Perhaps you simply do not want to strain your legs even on this responsible day. Whatever you are guided by, the designers have bothered to satisfy your whim.
When choosing shoes that match your intended wedding outfit, be sure to follow seasonal trends. In 2016-2017 choose:
-

If you have never worn stilettos, practice beforehand, otherwise there is a danger of spoiling the image.
Pair your stilettos with a simple, feminine dress. Avoid the combination of stilettos and mini or plunging necklines, unless you want to go from innocent bride to vamp femme fatale.
