Shoes Make Your Plus Size Evening Gown Shine!
Cinderella may have had the most beautiful evening gown but it was her lovely glass slippers that really shined at the ball. Evening gowns are resplendent and radiant on their own but when worn with the perfect pair of ’slippers’ the look is bewitching and divine. A dress cannot pull off the look all by itself. That is why you need to be decked out in glamour from head to toe.
The right pair of shoes speaks volumes. The shoes you choose for a social occasion should be in the same color family as your dress or slightly darker (but never lighter). This is a general rule but plenty of fashion rules can be broken with no fear of the fashion police coming after you!
What will always looks good and tends to add some spice and glitter to your look are metallic gold, silver or bronze leather shoes. These are particularly attractive with sexier gowns that have a side or back slit. Going a bit further, you can assuage your creative side by donning shoes that have some beads or some glitter. However, you need to be careful here and not over do it. A little is often enough.
Plus size women have many options when it comes to shoe styles. Heels add glamour because heels are meant to be worn for social events and dancing. If you don’t want too much of a heel then opt for a shoe that has a heel that’s an inch to an inch and a half high. If you are a shorter plus size woman then the extra height is good for you, especially if you are going with a date who towers over you!
You want to look feminine and elegant in your evening gown and coordinating shoes. For summer choose a pair of attractive sandals or slingbacks or a pair of open-toed pumps to complement your dress. Remember that the shoes are supposed to pull the look together but not detract from the dress in any way.
If you are not going to be wearing stockings or pantyhose and have chosen a pair of strappy open toed shoes then make sure your feet are in top form. Smooth out any rough skin on your heels with a pumice stone and either give yourself a pedicure or have one professionally done. Make sure your toenails are trimmed and are looking as attractive as ever with polish that is geared for the occasion. You do not have to coordinate the polish on your toes with that on your fingernails but if it suits you to do that then go right ahead! If you are not feeling good about your feet or simply prefer to keep them covered up then that is fine too. The goal is to feel confident, beautiful and sexy, and to look like the goddess you are!
