The Only Shoe You'll Need For All Seasons

Nude baby. Be nude.

Ok not really nude. But nude. There’s this simplicity, flawlessness, effortlessness that comes with a nude shoe. It’s not busy or loud, it just blends and is minimal. It takes the focus off of that particular thing and onto the “big picture” of the beauty of the look. And it’s one of my wardrobe essentials. This shoe goes with everything. This is the only shoe you’ll need.

Is the nude shoe THE hottest trend of the season? No. But it’s practical, it’s classic, it’s timeless, it spans all age groups, and it WORKS! It’s not a trend or a fad. It’s like a LBD but in a shoe.

After doing this post, I can’t deny. It does make me reexamine my closet and all the shoes I have that I never wear but I have “just in case”. Perhaps I need to rethink that and purge some? Do I need that many pairs in ALL those colors?

As I was pulling this post together I thought to myself of how often I’ve worn nude-type shoes that carried me through everything. So here are some examples, albeit not all professional pictures, but real life examples of how nude completed the look and made it look polished. Some are these are from my phone, some from Instagram, but they’re all real and no-nonsense.

And while the seasons may be in transition, I think a nude shoe is seasonless. These sandals can still be worn with dresses, skirts, slacks, even jeans. If you prefer a closed foot shoe, a nude pump does the job as well. My feet are more comfortable open. But they’re timeless and seasonless.

The first 2 pair are mine. But I also pulled a few others for you.

The 2nd pair I bought them to wear at market, for when I’m standing for 8 hours plus on concrete floors. Believe it or not, they’re DREAMY comfy! And at a super great price!

Here are some that are not as much of a sandal.

For those who prefer flats, here you go.

You can’t go wrong with nude heels. They go with everything and put the focus on you.
