<p>"People generally ignore their footwear while dressing up. They end up wearing safe colours like black, silver and brown. But each dress has a different requirement and you can make a statement by wearing the right footwear with your favourite dress," shoe designer Swati Mehrotra, who sells her products under the label Swati Modo, told IANS.<br /><br />Women have the option of wearing heels like stilettos, wedges, kitten heels, cone heels or gladiators, also known as Roman sandals which are very popular these days.<br /><br />"Wear chunky heels with a bright summer dress and flats with jumpsuits only if you are blessed with a good height, else opt for wedges," suggests Mehrotra.<br /><br />According to footwear brand Tresmode's CEO Kapil Mahtani, heels not only add height but also define a woman's personality. Though a woman wears footwear depending on the comfort level and attire, Mahtani dissects its wearability on the basis of personality.<br /><br />"Fashion conscious and confident women prefer heels like stilettoes. Shoes such as wedges signify a more casual, relaxed and sporty personality while women who are bold prefer sky towering stilettos," he said.<br /><br />So how to match your dress with those shoes? Here are some tips.<br /><br />According to Mehrotra, stilettos never go out of fashion. "The stiletto is considered to be the supreme erotic footwear and unbeatable compared to any other footwear," she said.<br />But if it's not your type, then opt for wedges which are comfortable and fashionable at the same time. Thick wedge heels with a flowing skirt can make the ankle look thin and when used with close-fitting attires can give a clunky look.<br /><br />Age doesn't matter when it comes to heels. You could grab a pair of kitten heels, or low heels.<br /><br />Then comes the most stylish of all them all - gladiators - which date back to the ancient culture of the Greeks and Romans. From flats to heels and from ankle length to calf length - gladiators accessorised with zippers, buckles, studs and embroidery can be worn with almost everything.<br /><br />You can also wear your cone heels with your little black dress or with a nice long top and tights.<br /><br />But avoid matching your shoe with the exact colour of a solid summery dress and wear a comfortable yet stylish pair with your business suit.<br /><br />"Pumps are appropriate for work wear as they add height and are stylish and comfortable," said Mahtani.<br /><br />Fashion designer Nida Mahmood reveals her love for gladiators and says these days she is busy collecting different types of Roman footwear in different colours and heels.<br /><br />"I am in love with these gladiators - you can wear them with anything. If you are wearing something till the knee, they go very well with it, or else if you are in a super sexy dress, wear one with heels - they are just way too perfect," said Mahmood.<br /><br />So pick up your favourite footwear and match it with your sexy dress and set out for that perfect evening.<br /><br /></p>
