Does leather bag need to match shoes?
When it comes to matching shoes and bags, you don’t always have to go for a totally coordinated look, but it does add that extra something and can be incredibly chic. Keep in mind that the bigger the bag, the more of a statement it makes, so the best tip is to match the most eye-catching part of your outfit. And don’t forget texture. Pairing two leather items is always great because it creates harmony between them while still providing subtle contrast. For a relaxed daytime look, try combining a glossy black leather bag with matte leather shoes and opt for some more comfortable flat shoes like our Sophie loafer in black made from the softest calf leather. Or toughen up the look and go for some military style boots such as Ghazal’s Lou Lou.
What should your shoes match?
Colour plays an important role when matching shoes and bag – you don’t have to go for the same exact shade, but they should at least complement each other. For example, if you’re wearing a bright coloured shoe, opt for a handbag that has hints of a similar colour or other colours within the same spectrum. If you’re feeling more daring, try combining bright colours. Our mid-heels and mules collections have some great colour popping hues like our Colette in orange or Ramatuelle in fuchsia. Wearing shoes with matching bag provides that extra sprinkle of sophistication. The key is to avoid making too much of a contrast between your shoes and your bag; instead, always strive for an effortless balance!
Which matching shoes and handbags are best for a wedding?
