The story

A pair of shoes can set the tone for a day, but it should also let you have the day. Before deciding on a look, think about where you are going and how much ground you will cover.

There is creativity in a practical constraint. A flat shoe can make a dress feel less formal; a familiar trainer can loosen up tailoring. Comfort is a design choice worth taking seriously.

Try your outfit while standing, walking and sitting. A mirror can tell you how it looks. Your actual plans will tell you whether it works.
