There is a word called "shine under the feet", and shoes, as the most critical step of dressing, have the finishing touch, which not only determines the overall style, but also relates to the overall beauty. In everyday wear, only the right pair of shoes can make the overall look shine. For example, the outfits of the two mothers in the picture below fully prove this:
For young girls, in summer, they especially like to wear skirts + sandals or high heels, which look exquisite and exquisite. But for older middle-aged and elderly women, wearing a skirt with sandals or high heels in summer is not the best choice.
Although sandals are cool, they tend to look unsightly on the feet of middle-aged people, and high heels, although they have a high-end temperament, are not enough for everyday comfort. Middle-aged and older women need to consider a number of factors when choosing shoes to match their skirts, such as comfort, practicality and fashion sense.
In this issue, let's take a look at the reasons why it is not recommended for middle-aged and elderly women to wear skirts with sandals and high heels, as well as 2 recommended shoes for summer.
1. Why do you wear a skirt instead of sandals and high heels?
1. Sandals
I don't know if you have noticed, in the summer of recent years, both men and women, young and old, there seem to be fewer and fewer people wearing sandals, and do you know the reason for this?
<1> Sandals are easy to dirty the surface of the feet and are not beautiful and decent
Regarding sandals, it is true that it is very popular in the summer, but after wearing it, it also exposes a lot of problems. First and foremost is personal image.
Especially for middle-aged and elderly women, the skin on the feet may become dull, dry, and even cracked or cracked due to the loss of collagen due to the loss of elasticity of the skin.
The design of sandals is usually more open, which makes it easy to expose the top of the foot, which lowers our personal image and temperament.
Not only that, wearing sandals is also easy to get dirt and mud, which makes the feet untidy and unsightly. Especially in the outdoor environment or on the wet ground, it is easy to hide dirt and dirt, which affects the overall dress image.
<2> The upper is fragile, and the sole is slippery
There is a saying that "you go out with shoes, but you don't have shoes to go home", and this situation is really not too embarrassing...... Some sandals on the market today pursue the beauty of the line of the foot over, resulting in the design of the upper to the point of ridiculously simple, such as the picture below, which is fixed on the sole with one or two threads or directly inlaid into the sole, although this design looks very beautiful, but it is not real to wear at all when it comes to reality.
Moreover, some sandals are not only perfunctory on the upper, but even
The sole design is also relatively simple, like the picture below these sandals ↓ The soles of the ↓ do not have enough anti-slip texture, such a design causes the soles of the feet to slip as soon as they sweat, if it rains, it is comparable to the disaster scene, and the risk of slipping is greatly increased.
When you fall when you are young, it may not be painful, but when you are old, it will be very important, it will hurt your muscles and bones, and indirectly promote the outbreak of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, causing life-threatening conditions.
<3> Sandals lack sufficient support and protection
In addition, the selling point of sandals is that they are cool and comfortable, and some sandals tend to design the sole to be very light and thin in order to pursue the ultimate lightness, and there is not enough sole thickness and hardness to provide enough support and protection for the foot.
The structure and function of the feet of middle-aged and elderly women may undergo some changes with age, such as arch collapse, muscle strength, etc. These changes may cause them to feel more tired or uncomfortable when walking or standing. Therefore, choosing a pair of shoes that can provide sufficient support and protection is more suitable for middle-aged and older women than sandals that only provide coolness.
2. High heels
<1> High heels increase the burden on the feet
High heels are the secret weapon to enhance feminine elegance, but wearing high heels for long periods of time can also increase the burden on your feet. In addition, the design of high heels will allow the soles of the feet to form an angle to the ground, which may cause pain, swelling or other discomfort in the feet after wearing them for a long time.
For middle-aged and elderly women, if you want to improve your temperament, you don't necessarily have to rely on high heels
That's it.
<2> High heels are difficult to balance
In fact, when people are old, they should really put comfort first in terms of dressing, followed by beauty and decency. Although high heels can improve the proportions of the human body, they also change the natural gait of the person.
For middle-aged and older women who are not used to wearing high heels, forcing them to wear high heels for the sake of beauty not only requires more balance and coordination to adapt, but may also cause them to have a greatly increased risk of falling or spraining.
Second, women don't wear shoes when they are old, don't be willful, remember these 3 points more decently
1. The shoe type should be light, comfortable and not grinding the feet
Wearing shoes that don't fit really hurts the feet a lot, like an elderly woman, who may have osteoporosis and leg pain due to the loss of calcium.
At this age, it is even more necessary to choose a pair of comfortable shoes that do not tire the feet to reduce the burden on the feet and avoid foot grinding or discomfort. Such shoes not only make women feel at ease in their daily lives, but also effectively prevent foot problems.
2. Pay equal attention to beauty and temperament
As part of the overall look, the aesthetics of the shoes should not be overlooked. Choosing a pair of shoes that are both fashionable and suitable for your temperament allows women to show elegance and charm while maintaining a youthful mindset.
For example, in the three comparisons below, the flat sandals on the left expose the shortcomings of dark and dry skin on the feet, while the elderly shoes with intricate colors on the right look unsightly and untemperamental.
3. Pay attention to the consistency with the clothing style
The choice of shoes is the last and most crucial step in our outfit. We need to consider whether it will be in harmony with the overall tone of the garment. Take skirts as an example, the temperament and state of different skirts are different when worn on the body.
For example, the two styles in the picture below, the left side is elegant and intellectual, so it needs to be paired with more formal shoes, while the right style is more youthful and lively, so it is suitable for sporty shoes.
4. It is recommended to buy these 2 kinds of shoes in summer, which are fashionable and versatile
<1> nude pumps
Pumps are designed to show off the instep, cool and breathable, and can also make the foot line more slender, and can also modify the foot shape and make the foot look more beautiful. The similarity of the nude color to the skin tone can also make this finishing effect more natural. In addition, nude shoes are very versatile and can be paired with a variety of colors.
<2> Patchwork granny shoes
Granny shoes usually have a comfortable shoe shape and soft material, and color matching is its biggest highlight, such as the black and coffee color stitching design in the picture below, which not only increases the sense of shape and layering of the shoes, but also makes the shoes look more unique, memorable, and can easily attract people's attention.
3. Skirt matching ideas suitable for middle-aged and elderly women
<1> according to the material
(1) Cotton and linen material + cloth shoes/dad shoes
The design of cotton and linen skirts is more prominent, the fabric is not very soft and close to the skin, usually the version is looser, but the lines are rich, the sense of hierarchy and three-dimensional sense is strong, and there is a lively feeling when worn, and there is a casual and natural free and easy.
Therefore, when matching shoes, there is no need to dominate, choose cloth shoes or dad shoes with a simple design to balance the volume of the overall shape, and the simplicity reveals a high-end temperament.
(2) Chiffon material + pointed-toe low heels
Skirts made of chiffon are soft and shiny, and they can show a flowing beauty with the movement of the body, making the skirt more agile and feminine. Therefore, this should also be taken into account when matching shoes, and this coordination and beauty should not be ruined, and it is best to add aesthetic output, such as choosing low-heeled pointed-toe shoes.
The pointed toe elongates the leg for a more slender figure, while the low heel ensures comfort while adding elegance and stability. The lightness and fluidity of the chiffon skirt combined with the elegance and poise of the pointed toe heels complemented each other, making the overall look both elegant and romantic.
<2> according to the style
(1) Casual/mix-and-match style + canvas shoes
Casual style skirts usually give people a casual and comfortable feeling. This style of skirt is a great way to show the ease and energy of women, and when a casual skirt is paired with lightweight, breathable espadrilles, the two styles complement each other perfectly, and the overall look is both casual and stylish.
(2) Formal style + various types of leather shoes
Leather shoes are naturally in harmony with formal attire. This harmony is not only reflected in the colors and styles, but also in the overall style echo. Whether it's a shirt paired with a suit or a skirt paired with a jacket, leather shoes can complement each other and together create a formal, professional look that shows the wearer's temperament and demeanor.
<3> Judging by the pattern
(1) Fancy pattern + simplicity
A dress with a fancy pattern is already very eye-catching on its own, and if you pair it with a pair of shoes that are equally fancy or intricate, it can make the whole look look too cumbersome and cluttered and lose the point. So it's best to choose simple shoes to balance this complexity and make the overall look more harmonious and unified.
(2) No pattern + small design shoes
Solid color skirts do not have too many patterns or colors, which can highlight the wearer's temperament and figure. However, if the matching shoes are also too simple or ordinary, the overall look may appear monotonous and lacking in highlights.
Therefore, it is best to choose a small design when matching shoes, such as the small butterfly and splicing in the picture below, which can not only play an embellishment role but also produce a complementary effect, enriching the layering and detail of the overall shape.
<4> When pairing a skirt with shoes, these matching details should not be overlooked
(1) Skirt length
The length of the skirt and the style of the shoe should be coordinated to maintain the overall balance. For example, when a long skirt is paired with flats or low heels, you need to be careful not to look draggy;
And short skirts should not be paired with high-tops, platform shoes, etc., which look "light-headed". In addition, consider your height and body characteristics, and choose a skirt length that suits you to show the best body proportions.
(2) Color
The color of the shoes can echo or contrast with the color of the skirt, depending on the overall style you wish to convey.
Tone-on-tone combinations are usually more harmonious, while contrasting colors create a more striking visual impact. But also pay attention to the combination and transition of colors, and avoid being too abrupt or cluttered.
(3) Accessories
The right accessories can add depth and sophistication to the overall look. For the matching of skirts and shoes, you can choose some simple and sophisticated accessories, such as necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc., to add a highlight to the overall look. At the same time, you can also consider some practical accessories, such as bags, hats, etc., to meet the needs of daily travel.
Epilogue:
To sum up, middle-aged and elderly women who want to make their skirts more brilliant must consider various factors to create an overall look that is both beautiful and comfortable.
