Shoe mistakes can ruin a look (or at least prevent it from shining like it could) in any season of the year, but in winter it is worth paying more attention to the feet.
And it is not only a question of style, but also of getting the necessary shelter and adequate protection against the elements, the rain being the most important:
Maintain summer footwear
Although there are exceptions, generally summer footwear becomes inappropriate when jackets start to enter your looks. Especially those that require to do without socks. Replace boat shoes, espadrilles, canvas sneakers, etc., with pieces that look and feel more wintry.
Choose non-waterproof materials
Good winter footwear has to be ready to measure up in the rain. Keep your feet dry by avoiding canvas shoes and other non-waterproof materials. It should be noted that this is not the case with all Converse sneakers. The firm launched a rain-friendly collection last year.
Betting on shoes that are too sharp
Winter looks are usually bulkier than summer looks. This is due to the addition of extra layers to combat low temperatures. Not taking that detail into account when choosing shoes can cause an imbalance between the upper and the lower part. Consider including in your looks a shoe that does not look dwarfed in relation to the rest of the look, and for this it is essential that the silhouette is in accordance.
Ruin the winter vibes with vivid colors
It is not that in winter you cannot use brightly colored or patterned footwear. If it's your style, go ahead. What happens is that you run the risk of ruining the winter vibes you've made by choosing carefully all your winter clothes and accessories. The solution lies in the brown, black, gray, navy blue and the rest of neutral colors (including white when it comes to sports shoes).
