One of the things I worry about when attending a wedding is the etiquette regarding shoe color.
Many women worry about choosing shoes when attending a wedding as a guest. Weddings have etiquette regarding design and color, so if you unknowingly choose the wrong shoes and attend in unlucky clothes, you may ruin the feeling of celebrating.
Even if you want to wear your favorite shoes in a gorgeous seat or want to be fashionable, please follow the etiquette and congratulate the bride and groom.
When a woman attends a wedding, it is basic to wear pumps with heels. At a normal wedding, except for pumps with heels, it gives a casual impression. When choosing pumps to participate in a wedding, choose one with a height of 3 to 10 cm and a thin heel.
So, what kind of etiquette is there when it comes to shoe colors? This time, we will focus on the "color" of the shoes you wear at a wedding, and introduce etiquette to remember.
"White" shoes are OK! Are there any NG colors?
As a wedding dress etiquette, it is well known that "a white dress is NG" because it overlaps with the bride's dress. For this reason, we tend to think that shoes should not be white, but if the shoes and accessories are white enough, they can be worn without problems.
Too flashy, bi-color, and animal patterns are NG
Even if white shoes are OK, there are also NG shoes.
・Too flashy
The main characters of a wedding are the bride and groom. Avoid wearing shoes that are too revealing or too flashy. Whether it's flashy or not is subjective, but if in doubt, choose a simple one.
·By color
Bicolor refers to the use of two distinct colors. Because one pair of shoes is divided into two colors, it is associated with "separation", so it is considered a bad luck shoe for weddings.
・Animal pattern
Animal patterns, which are also known as NG clothing for dresses, are an NG element when choosing shoes because they are associated with killing. Leopard and crocodile prints are trendy these days, but don't choose them for your wedding.
The point of choosing wedding shoes is "compatibility with the dress"
Even if you choose a pair of pumps in a well-mannered color, if they don't go well with your dress, they may stand out badly at the ceremony.
Total coordination is important at a wedding where you set your hair beautifully and wear a beautiful dress.
From here, let's look at how to choose the shoe color that matches the dress and how to coordinate it.
Dark color dress x light color shoes
A dress in a heavy color such as black or navy is easy to match with anyone and is a standard color for weddings.
Although it is easy to incorporate, if you do not pay attention to shoes and accessories, it will give a dark impression reminiscent of a funeral and will be an unlucky coordination.
Especially when choosing a black dress, choose a gorgeous design that incorporates lace or see-through, and choose pumps with bijou for shoes, so be aware of the coordination that suits the celebration.
Choose bright colors such as white, light yellow, pink, light blue, mint green, silver, and gold.
Light color dress x light color shoes
When wearing a bright dress such as light blue, pink, light purple, pink beige, it goes well with similar light colors, silver and gold. By arranging it in bright colors, it will match well with the gorgeous seats.
However, if it becomes too whitish overall, it will overlap with the white of the bride, so be careful.
Light color dress x Dark color shoes
If you feel like your outfit is too light-colored, we recommend wearing dark-colored shoes. When incorporating dark-colored shoes, you can easily create a stylish and unified look by matching the bag, haori, and belt with accessories of the same heavy color.
Dark color dress x Dark color shoes
When matching dark colors, you need to be careful not to give a dark impression, but it can give a mature and calm impression. Matching dark colors is a technique for advanced fashionistas, and if not coordinated well, it can give an unsophisticated impression.
When choosing a black dress, choose a festive dress as mentioned above. In addition, it is recommended to wear something gorgeous with a bijou or pearl ribbon, and pair it with dark-colored shoes other than black.
Even dark colors such as wine red, dark green, and purple are not suitable for funeral outfits, so even beginners can easily incorporate them and are gaining popularity.
Even with a dark dress and dark shoes, you can create a glamorous impression by pairing it with a light-colored haori, bag, and accessories.
When choosing wedding shoes...
When choosing wedding shoes, it is essential to check the compatibility with the dress.
Therefore, we recommend using a return service that can handle cases such as when the size of MAMIAN does not fit or the image is different.
It's popular because you don't have to worry about buying it without matching it with a dress and then trying it on and not being disappointed!
