Yes, Ergonomic Footwear Can Be Fashionable
It’s an unfortunate misconception that fashion often needs to come at the cost of comfort. But what if we told you that you could have both? In this guide, we'll show you how to wear ergonomic shoes and still look fashionable. Whether you're looking for ergonomically appropriate shoes to wear to work or for a night out on the town, read on for everything you need to know.
Breaking down the different types of ergonomic shoes
Firstly, there are a few different types of ergonomic shoes available on the market, each with its own unique benefits. Here's a quick overview of the most popular options:
1. Ballet flats are a popular choice for work or play, as they offer support and stability without sacrificing style. Plus, they're comfortable enough to be worn all day long.
2. Oxford shoes are a classic option that can be dressed up or down. They offer good support and can be found in a variety of styles, from traditional wingtips to more modern designs.
3. Mary Janes are a timeless option that provide both style and comfort; perfect for those who want something a little more feminine and stylish.
Tips for styling your ergonomic shoes
Now that you know a little more about the different types of ergonomic shoes available, let's talk about how to style them so they complement your overall look.
- Pair your ballerina flats with jeans or a skirt for a casual look, or dress them up with slacks or a dress for a more polished appearance.
- For oxfords, try pairing them with khakis or dark-wash jeans for a preppy look. Or, go for an edgy vibe by pairing them with ripped jeans or leather pants.
- Mary Janes look great with just about anything - from skirts and dresses to jeans and shorts. If you’re looking to stay light and breezy during the warmer summer months, try pairing your Mary Janes with a flowy sundress or skirt.
Looking for some outfit inspiration with your ergonomic shoes?
Now that you’re savvy to styling your ergonomic shoes, it's time to put together some looks! Here are a few outfit ideas to get you started:
- For a casual look, pair ballet flats with dark-wash jeans and a tee shirt or blouse. You can even add an oversized cardigan or jacket for extra warmth and comfort without compromising on style.
- Work-Appropriate: Create a stylish and professional look by pairing oxfords with slacks or cropped pants, and consider adding a button-down shirt or blouse, or layer on a cardigan/blazer. Finally, complete the look with accessories such as earrings, bracelets, and/or necklaces.
- Date Night: Going out on the town? Mary Janes are the perfect choice – especially when paired with skinny jeans, an off-the-shoulder top, and statement earrings. And why not throw on a leather jacket for an edgy touch?
