Your Winter Wardrobe Isn’t Complete Without These 5 Shoe Styles

There’s no denying that a great pair of shoes has the power to make or break an outfit. If you’ve ever pulled together a look, only to discover that the shoes you hoped to wear with it don’t look quite as chic as you expected, you’ll know this all too well.

It’s on these occasions that I find having an edit of failsafe, go-with-everything shoe styles at my disposal really comes into its own. A capsule shoedrobe, if you will, of staple styles that can easily be mixed and matched with a variety of outfits. During the summer, this edit usually consists of of sandals and flip flops, which can be dressed up or down as the occasion calls for. During the colder months, however, building a winter shoe capsule takes a little more consideration. You see, not only do you have to contend with the outfits themselves (and of course the winter shoe trends), but also the unexpected shifts in weather and the ever-decreasing temperatures. After all, nobody wants to be left with cold feet (in the literal sense) by the end of a chilly winter day.
