Which shoes to choose for a women's suit? Elegant or sporty?

2022-09-28

Almost all of us have a women's suit in our wardrobe. It is the basis of many outfits. Irreplaceable at work, during important family celebrations or formal meetings. Its looser, casual version has conquered the fashion catwalks and streets in recent seasons. It works perfectly at any time of year. However, the question we always ask ourselves is, which shoes for a women's suit will be the most appropriate? As it turns out, it is not only the cut that matters, but also the colour and the occasion for which we are preparing the styling.

Women's suit shoes - which ones to choose?

In order to settle the question of which women's suit shoes would be the best choice, we need to ask ourselves a few questions. Colour matching is obviously very important, but it is not the only factor to consider. Equally important is the cut of the suit itself. In the following paragraphs, we will explain when to opt for smart women's shoes, and when to opt for sporty shoes and how to match the colour of the shoes to the suit.

Sporty or smart? Choosing shoes for your suit

If you wear a casual suit to work or an informal meeting and it has a rather loose fit, you can wear sneakers with it. This is an interesting change of form and will give your outfit a casual touch. Of course, there is nothing stopping you from wearing stilettos or low-heeled pumps.

However, if we are dealing with a very elegant suit, especially one with a tailored cut, sports shoes will look odd to say the least. In such a case, stilettos or other heeled pumps would work better. You can also opt for smart moccasins or ladies' oxfords.

Which shoes to choose for a navy blue women's suit?

Navy blue is almost as much of a classic as black, so it's no surprise that it appears frequently in formal outfits. It's a rather formal colour that adds a touch of solemnity, so it's worth asking yourself what shoes for a navy blue women's suit would be most appropriate. When it comes to cut, we still stick to the same rule as above. We opt for smart women's shoes, unless we are dealing with a casual suit with checks or other patterns. In this situation, moccasins, ballerinas or women's oxfords will look great.

If you want to accentuate a formal outfit, match it with classic black pumpsi or low-heeled pumps. Remember, however, that navy blue combined with black makes for a very serious styling, perhaps even a little dull and sad. Another subdued but slightly more cheerful option is brown. Do you prefer even lighter accents? Go for beige or flesh-coloured heeled pumps, which go beautifully with navy blue. And if you want to break up the look with something bold, opt for fuchsia, red or emerald-coloured stilettos.

Shoes for a blue women's suit - which ones to choose?

Blue is a colour that Polish women love, and no wonder, as it accentuates our beauty type perfectly. It is also less formal than navy blue, black or grey. What shoes go well with a blue women's suit? Light beige, flesh-coloured or white stilettos or low-heeled pumps emphasise the lightness of the style. Different shades of brown will also look great. Do you like bold contrasts? Opt for coral heeled pumps. Or maybe you're going to a wedding or reception? In such a situation, gold or silver stilettos will go beautifully.

To emphasise the festive nature of the outfit, opt for a strong accent in the form of eye-catching jewellery, such as a thick gold chain or large earrings in a striking colour.  

Wear more than just smart women's shoes with a casual blue suit, of course. Go for a loose fit with wide legs, an oversize jacket and flowing fabrics, and match it with beige sneakers, for example. For the same style, go for high-heeled sandals such as pearl, gold or rhinestone sandals.

Which shoes to choose for a white women's suit?

You'll make a huge impression in a white suit whatever the occasion. It's a great style for work, an elegant party or even a wedding and reception. What are the best shoes to wear with a white women's suit? It depends on the occasion you're going for. At work, go for muted colours and complete the look with beige stilettos, for example. If you're going for a very elegant occasion, such as a banquet or wedding, you can go a bit wild with your shoes. Stilettos in a variety of colours: gold, silver, emerald or amaranthine will work great. Remember to match it with a handbag, preferably in the same colour as the shoes. And if you decide to add a pair of dangling earrings with crystals, you will certainly look chic. You will look more impressive in this style than in many ball gowns.

Do you have a loose-fitting white suit in your wardrobe? It will go well with sports shoes, and the colour is entirely up to your imagination. Accentuate the look with a fun plain or printed T-shirt. It's the right outfit for work, a casual meeting or a night out with friends.
