People commonly say, “Diamonds are a girl’s best friend” but I believe shoes should also have that honor. They are a girl’s partner through the thick and thin of life and they have seen you through practically every era of your life. From the decorative ones you wore as a toddler to mark your first birthday, to the pair of high-heels you strutted while celebrating your graduation from University, no one can deny the significance of shoes in our day-to-day lives.
Like it or not, the pair of shoes you own define your wardrobe and play a huge part in influencing your outfit choices. In addition, whatever footwear you decide to sport for any occasion speaks volumes about your sense of style as a person.
There are many types of shoes that are tailored to serve a particular occasion, and it can be overwhelming, as well as expensive, trying to fill your wardrobe with each pair.
This article solves that problem for you as it delves into the essential shoes every lady should own, to slay every occasion.
Loafers
Loafers are the ultimate basic, neutral shoes. It’s no wonder they are great for office wear. But these shoes aren’t limited to the office only, you can wear them with blue jeans and an oversized shirt while stepping out for brunch with a friend or even with skirts or dresses for a feminine look.
Heels
Now, heels come in different types, and it is essential you pick the one that you’re most comfortable in and is also versatile too. Depending on where you work, you can wear these shoes to the office, paired with a blazer and straight pants. For a casual look, however, pair your classic black pumps with jeans and a cute top
Sneakers
Sneakers are your go-to shoes for almost any look. Not only are they comfortable, they are also chic when you style them the right way. Don’t limit wearing sneakers to just trousers and jeans, pair them with skirts and dresses for a fun, but casual look. The key is to invest in a good pair of sneakers that you love and don’t limit yourself to known brands; often, lesser-known brands offer comparable quality and style at a more affordable price, allowing you to expand your options without compromising on comfort or aesthetics.

Sandals
You’d hardly find me without a pair of sandals or two in my bag at all times. These are my go-to footwear for when I’m tired of strutting around in heels or when I’m wearing a new pair of shoes that are pinching my toes.
Sandals are also perfect for casual outings and loungewear. Slide sandals are your best choice of footwear, for a beach day or simply walking about. The best part about them? They are the most affordable options in this list.
Takeaways:
- White sneakers are best for casual and dressed-up occasions.
