Just as there are wardrobe staples, there are also shoe must-haves for outfits and occassions of every nature. Shoes can quite literally complete, change or ruin an outfit. A lot of woman tend to shy away from heels because they associate them with discomfort and formal events, but the majority of the shoes highlighted below do have heels or at least a bit of a lift.

The truth is that shoe elevation can be very flattering, for any height or body shape. Tall women might feel too tall when they wear high heels, but if confidence replaces doubt, tall women can (and should!) feel powerful and sexy wearing heels! More and more shoe designers are creating shoes that are built for walkability, comfort and style.

There's almost always a solution to make shoes, be it heels or otherwise, comfortable to wear, anytime and anywhere. Most of the time, "breaking them in" does the trick, but gel inserts and arch supports are also helpful for certain styles.

Nude Heels

Be it strappy, platform, peep-toe or classic pumps, every woman needs a pair of nude heels. Heels in natural hues elongate your legs, making you look longer and leaner, which is always desirable! Find a pair that matches your skin tone to really enhance the effect. In addition, nude heels go with everything. You can't go wrong with a pair of nude heels.

Wonderful Wedges

Wedges are a great addition to any daytime outfit because they're generally comfortable and casual. They're also a great excuse to show off a fresh pedicure! Find a pair that complements your style and wardrobe.

Bright Heels

Choose a bright, solid color to make any outfit pop. Pair bright heels with neutral colors to enhance their presence. A little shoe bling is a fun addition!

Ballet Flats

When your heels are too much, give your feet a break in a cute pair of ballet flats. Flats come in so many varieties and colors that you're sure to find a pair you like. Wear them to the office or on a weekend outing and dress them up or down!

Knee-High Boots

Every woman needs a pair of boots to frolick about in, especially when the weather is precarious. Pair boots with skinny jeans, chunky sweaters and pretty scarves or tights, a dress and a trench coat for two different, stylish looks.
