1. Nude and Black Pumps
Nude pumps and black pumps are definitely a must-have. It is so worth it to invest in these because they are classics and will never go out of style. Wearing these can also make you feel such a boss, that you can wear them to important meetings or events. I also highly suggest wearing pointed-toe pumps as they can make your legs look elongated. However, it is important to consider that before buying nude pumps, make sure that it complements your skin tone because nudes have a lot of different shades.

Nude and Black ankle strap sandals are a closet staple as they go well with every outfit.

White sneakers are an absolute favorite of mine! It just makes everything a little bit more casual while bringing the laid-back chick vibe to every outfit.

Loafers are a classic and they won’t be out of style anytime soon. This shoes can be worn at any time of the year but it is best worn during Spring and Summer. Plus, wearing a loafer can quickly add a glamorous and vintage touch to your outfit.
