How To Select Shoes To Wear With A Woman's Suit

Step 1: Pump It Up

A basic black mid- to high-heel pump is the professional woman's best friend. It's versatility allows you to wear this shoe with straight-leg pantsuits as well as skirted suits.

Step 2: Loafers

For a more casual look, a basic black loafer offers the business-woman a classic, style alternative. They can be worn with both wide-and straight-leg pants, as well as a skirt.

Step 3: Sling It Back

If you work in a less conservative environment, try a pair of sling-back pumps and match them up with your light-weight suits. They're a tasteful, sophisticated option that will complement a variety of suit options.

Step 4: New Heights

Pick a heel height that's right for you. Take into account how much time you will be spending on your feet per week. If you are one of those women that can wear stilettos 12 hours a day, bless you. If not, a medium heel or low pump might be more your speed.

Keep in mind: Covered heels are dressier than their stacked or wood-heeled counterparts.

If the fabric of your suit is heavy, you'll want to pair it with a leather shoe.
For a silk or nylon suit a micro fiber might be more appropriate.
