It is true women love wearing red shoes, however, these red shoes differ in style, which means that also the way to style them differs. For example, women have red pumps which they wear with pencil skirts, dresses, pants and suits.
But you have to be careful when matching red shoes with other fashion trends, because red is a bright secondary color which matches with a few colors, so, I advise you to try out your red shoes with complementing outfits and colors, if your not sure of your looks, try asking someone close at home.

What to Wear With Red Shoes
Since these red shoes differ in style, their some basics you need to know while choosing a red shoe. For example,
- If you’re looking for a red shoe to wear to a date, opt for slinky red stiletto pumps, these shoes will match well with your red or black dress. Don’t go for a date in red flats shoes or ballet flats.
- Keep your outfit simple and cool. Women who love wearing red shoes to work, i advice you to keep your trends simple, the shoe is already bright in color, so don’t match it with bright colors like yellow or white. Simply complement them with black or dark grey outfits; this will calm down the bright red pumps or flats.
- Opt for short red pumps for work. I beat of you can wear those high heel red pumps the all day at work. I know you want to look fashionable, but why impress others when you’re not comfortable, yes, red heels look fabulous, but opt for short heels.
- Try out different shades or red: It is true, red has different shades, and some red shoes are too bright while others are a bit dark. If you feel uncomfortable with bright red shoes, then opt for dark red shoes. Fashion is about feeling comfortable and confident.
