How To Wear Red This Valentine's Day - The Perfect Shoes Edition

Whether it’s Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day for you, February 14th is a day to celebrate love in all its forms (love of clothes included). So, if you’re anything like us, then this is just another great opportunity to play dress-up and make a statement in red.

But red can be a bit of a tricky colour to work with because it’s such a bold hue; when paired with the right colour combinations, the result is striking, but if not…it can quickly look jarring and tacky.

Our team has seen it all and to help you avoid those fashion faux-pas when wearing red, we've put together this blog with 7 winning colour combinations that will help you find the perfect shoes to pair with your red outfit this Valentine's Day.

Black

Shoe: Makiko Black Patent

Black is an easy, headache-free way to style red pieces, especially on Valentine’s Day,to keep your red outfit from looking theatrical.

Gold

Shoe: Jovi Champagne

We wax lyrical about the versatility of metallic shades but here it is in action. A gold accent in the form of a shoe breaks up a red look while still making everything feel pulled together. We are also giving you a sneaker option here that’s perfect for a more casual Valentine’s day date night. 

Silver

Shoe: 4920004 Silver

On the cooler end of the spectrum, silver brings the versatility of gold in a more subdued tone that feels polished and luxurious. These low-heeled silver mules are both comfortable and chic and perfect for a nice dinner and drinks.

Pink

Shoe: Kadmos Fuchsia Suede

Pink and red have been a powerful colour combination since they emerged a few seasons ago. The love is still going strong for them and what better day whip out your favourite red and pink pieces than on Valentine’s Day?!

White

Shoe: Ublue White

Red and white make us think of picnic baskets…filled with delicious goodies. We love delicious goodies. Therefore, we love a white and red combo. We think we make a pretty strong case, especially when we throw in an embellished heel on these heeled mules.

Red-On-Red

Shoe: Happie Red Suede

Happi(e)ness comes in the form of a red suede shoe with a clear heel that completes our head-to-toe red Valentine’s Day outfit. Enough said.

Neutrals

Shoe: Makiki Nude Weave

As classic as black but minus the edge - a neutral sandal is feminine and flirty. Opt for these low-heeled wedges for a more comfortable but still cute look.
