Beige shoes - top of elegance
In the women's basic wardrobe there are usually two types of shoes: black and beige pumps. And if black shoes are more suitable for a strict or evening look, then beige shoes are universal. Put them on appropriate and in the office, and for a walk, and on a date.
Features and benefits of body color
The phrase "flesh color" we used to assume that beige, which looks like human skin. However, everything is not so simple: there are about a dozen shades and variations of this color, each of which is different in its own way. Beige may be slightly brown or yellow, pink, lilac, gray.
In the world of fashion is still more difficult. “Solid” color, which stylists used to call “nude” (eng. - “naked”), until recently, was exactly the classic beige. But since 2015, a whole palette of shades has been associated with the color “nude” - from ivory to chocolate. This was done for reasons of tolerance, because The colors of human skin are very different.
Today, many brands produce a line of shoes, clothes, accessories and cosmetics “flesh-colored”, where a representative of any race can find a color that perfectly matches skin. For example, the Nude collection by Christian Loboutin.
Body beige is always appropriate and elegant. It is the most peaceful among pastel shades and easily combined with other colors.
Beige shoes, perfectly matched to the skin color, visually lengthen the leg. They will be perfectly combined with any accessories and most definitely never go out of style.

So it is much easier to combine, because tights of the desired shade can always be found on sale.
A universal option - classic pumps with a pointed nose and elegant heels 5-7 cm in height. You can wear these shoes to work, wear with evening dresses, create casual images with them, etc.
