What shoe do you wear with a miniskirt to maximize your leg without looking cheap? What shoes match the skirt’s lighthearted attitude, and which just look wrong? The challenge with a miniskirt is to wear one with the right attitude so you don’t end up looking like you’re looking for work when you stand on the corner waiting to cross the street. Balance a super short style by wearing shoes that have little or no heel. Beaded, sequined, or otherwise sparkly or spangled shoes are also out if they have heels…but if they’re casually styled, they’ll set off your skirt…

I saw there was a question about day or night wear on patent leather. How about seasonal?–Karen Good question! Patent leather used to be considered a warm-weather material, but in recent years, it’s evolved to fit any season. More important is the style and color. For example, pink patent leather in the dead of winter probably isn’t going to look quite right (unless you’re at a wedding or attending a formal), but a black patent pump is considered seasonless. Have a great day, and thanks for your question! Patent leather shoes can be worn year-round, but the styles and colors…

If your work attire normally requires pumps, most flats will be inappropriate for anything beyond casual Fridays. Two exceptions are the classic cap-toe flat, which always looks professional, and the solid color slip-on (it looks like a pump but doesn’t have a heel).

More casual dress codes give women a lot more options than the traditional close-toed business pump…but there are still guidelines…

I am planning a vacation in Europe and need to know what type of comfortable walking shoes would look best with capri pants. I will be walking most of the day, so sandals are out. What about plain tennis shoes? What type of socks should I wear? I want to look nice, but comfort is extremely important. I am 50 years young!–Kathy. There are a couple of different options here, Kathy. There are some really cute flats out right now that are a cross between tennis shoes and loafers and I think those would be perfect with Capri pants for…

I have noticeably yellow undertones, which are quite complex, and black makes me look dead. Most of the classic looks and travel items are black. What is a good substitute color, or what suggestions can you make? I would try another deep neutral, like chocolate brown, olive green, or possibly camel, for your neutral base color. You might also experiment with deep blues (I’m not sure if navy would have the same effect as black!). The trick will be to find a color that works for you the way black works for many women and use that as a foundation…

Hey, I love your site! One big question, though: what is the trend for summer clothing in New York City? I have been there before, but only during the winter. HELP!!!!!
