Why the Nude Shoe Works
Whenever you can, you should try and match your shoes to your slacks. Of course, this isn’t always possible, but when wearing black slacks, black shoes are the way to go. But what do you do when you’re wearing a skirt?
While you won’t always be able to sport a shoe in a tone close to your legs, when you can wear nude shoes, you should definitely try. A shoe that closely matches your skin tone helps elongate your petite legs, making you appear taller.

This Stuart Weitzman pump is classic; the pointed toe helps make your legs look long and lean. Don’t think you have to restrict your outfit to just light colors, either. This shoe can work with a little black dress. Keep the hose nude as well and don’t forget a matching nude clutch.
