Fabric of Your Sole

Take a look in your closet. Most of your shoes are probably leather, suede or faux leather. But, there are other options- like fabric! Fabric is great because it gives you a variety of textures, colors and patterns to chose from.

Most people are familiar with the logo canvas shoes that Coach, Fendi, Gucci and other designer brands offer. Also, you know the dreaded silk dyeable shoe that bridezillas foist upon their poor bridesmaids. But, there are more options in fabric shoes than logo gear or bright white satin ready for that perfect raspberry tint demanded by the bride.

You will get a multitude of compliments on your unique shoes. The good thing? Just because you shoes are unique, doesn't mean they are not versatile. Pair colorful shoes with the obvious neutrals, but also try contrasting colors or wearing a color in the fabric pattern to make it pop (like teal or yellow with the Louboutin above).

No one will mistake you for a bridesmaid in stain shoes with tough, yet chic, details like zippers, spikes or studs.

Tulle and chiffon are too light for the colder months, so, try a heavier fabric, like wool.

Leather is tried and true, but give fabric a chance!
