Dear SS: Shoe Dilemma

We occasionally receive questions from visitors about style issues and are happy to provide answers. If you have a burning style question, shoot us an email: StyleSkanks at gmail dot com.

Dear Style Skanks,

What color shoes should I wear with a navy suit or a taupe suit? I have an interview coming up and only have these two colors in suit choices. I fail miserably when it comes to my feet if I'm not wearing something black, it seems.

Dear Soulless,
Oddly enough, one can (and should) wear black shoes with navy. The reason? Try finding a pair of navy shoes to match your suit. It's nearly impossible. There are too many navy variations (and yet they're hard to find these days). Black will take away the chance of your navys clashing.

If you're wearing hose with your suit, try charcoal with that ensemble.

Black shoes are also best with taupe as well, although the hosiery choice will be tougher depending on the shade of taupe. Nude is probably your best bet.

Happy Interviewing!
Style Skanks
