One of the first ''fashion rules'' I learnt was that you shouldn't wear white shoes after Labor day. If you never heard of it, it's an American holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. The idea behind this is that white footwear only belongs to spring and summer months and those outfits including frilly dresses and denim shorts. Which is a good idea in theory, but what will you do if you really want to wear white shoes, and it's lets say, a day after Labor day? 😂 Also there are many boots that are white these days, white Moon boots for example (not a big fan of these, I'm not gonna lie). This all brings us to a conclusion (something we probably already knew): there should be no rules in fashion. But, of course, I have some tips for you on how to style white shoes.

Jedno od prvih ''modnih pravila'' koje sam naučila jeste da ne treba nositi bele cipele posle praznika koji se u Americi zove ''Labor day''. Ako nikada niste čuli za njega, proslavlja se prvog ponedeljka u septembru. Ideja iza ovog pravila jeste da bela obuća pripada prolećnim i letnjim mesecima i to su one kombiancije koje uključuju lepršave haljine i kratke šortseve. Što je u teoriji dobra ideja, ali šta ako baš želite da nosite bele cipele recimo dan posle ovog praznika? 😂 Takođe, postoji mnogo belih čizama ovih dana, bele Moon boots na primer (nisam veliki ljubitelj istih, moram da priznam). Sve ovo nas dovodi do zaključka (koji smo ruku na srce i znali): pravila ne bi trebalo da postoje kada je reč o modi. Ali, naravno, imam za vas neke savete kako da stilizujete bele cipele.


One thing I would recommend is to not wear white shoes with all white outfits. Exceptions are wedding dresses or similar dresses that can indeed look good with white shoes, still silver and gold footwear is sometimes a better option even in those cases. The main reason is that it looks like an odd type of uniform if you wear a white shirt, white pants and on top of that white shoes. Other thing is that you can't always match the colour of your shoes with the clothes (no shade of white is exactly the same) so you might end up with a yellowish looking shoes, although they are not, just because your pants are brighter than life. Second problem is that outfits with white shoes can easily look cheap, even if they are not. Not saying that there's something wrong with that look, if that's what you are going for, but if you paid a lot for a pair of shoes you will want them to look classy. Stick to simpler cuts and fabrics and avoid paring them with materials that are too shiny or sparkly, or revealing and short. Simplicity is the best approach, so put on trusty items you know fit you well and add the shoes like an interesting twist to an otherwise simple outfit, which is exactly what I did here.

Prvi bi bio da ne nosite bele cipele sa skroz belom odećom. Izuzetci su venčanice i slične haljine koje i mogu da izgledaju dobro sa belim cipelama, iako su nekad srebrne i zlatne ipak bolja ideja čak i u tim slučajevima. Glavni razlog je što ovakve kombinacije mogu da izgledaju kao neka vrsta čudne uniforme, pogotovo ako uparite bele pantalone, košulju i cipele. Pored toga, ne možete uvek da potrefite da boja cipela bude identična sa bojom odeće (nijedna nijansa bele nije potpuno ista) pa možete da završite sa cipelama koje izgledaju žućkasto, a da to nisu, samo jer su vam pantalone izrazito bele. Drugi problem je taj što kombinacije sa belim cipelama lako mogu da izgledaju jeftino, pa čak i kad komadi koje nosite to nisu. Ničeg lošeg nema ni u tom izgledu, ako vam se on dopada, ali ako ste dosta platili par cipela želite da one tako i izgledaju. Držite se jednostavnijih krojeva i materijala i izbegavajte da ih nosite sa materijalima koji su previše sjajni ili drečavi, ili prekratki. Jednostavnost je najbolji pristup, pa uparite svoje proverene komade, one za koje ste sigurni da vam dobro stoje pa će bele cipele dodati neočekivani obrt inače jednostavnoj kombinaciji, što je upravo ono što sam ja uradila ovde.
