Q&A: How to Match Shoes with Work Clothes

Read full article here...

 

Q: Can Omiru provide some basic guidelines about pairing work shoes and pants/skirts?

A: To understand how to pair shoes with clothes, you first have to look at silhouette.  Shoes should complement the lines and proportions of an outfit, particularly the bottom that you’re wearing.  We’ll start with the basics—regular trouser pants and a knee length skirt—and then we’ll expand out into other options:

Regular Trouser Pants
For regular width trouser pants, the classic choice is a medium height (approximately 2” tall) shoe.  You can wear pumps, loafers, two-tone shoes…and you can also experiment with different toebox styles.  For a sophisticated look, try pointier toed shoes.  But for a more chic, casual look, you can try a round toe.  If you’re not a fan of heels, you can also try a more subdued kitten heel (usually around 1.5” tall).

Knee Length Skirts
The perfect shoe for a knee-length skirt is a heeled shoe.  Most women prefer to wear a medium height heel to visually elongate the leg, but a shorter kitten heel is also a common choice.  Women who are blessed with extra long legs can also get away with flats, but the rest of us should steer clear of them. 

Wide Trouser Pants
To balance out the width of a wide trouser pant, you’ll need to wear a high heel (3” or taller).  The high heel visually (and physically) elongates your leg line, and it gives your bottom half balance.  If you’re blessed with long legs, you can also try a medium height heel.  But for optimal figure flattery, no low heels or flats allowed!

Skinny Pants
Channel Audrey Hepburn when pairing shoes with skinny pants.  What did Audrey wear?  Ballet flats, of course!  When you’re wearing tight pants, you want a shoe that’s not overly sexy.  So steer clear of high heels and shoes with “toe cleavage.”  The ballet flat (or even really short kitten heels) will do the trick.

Short Skirts
Short skirts are best paired with a kitten heel or ballet flat at work.  If you’re wearing a revealing skirt, you don’t want to go overboard with an overly sexy shoe.  That said, the woman in the miniskirt pictured above made the sexy shoe and miniskirt look work.  How did she do it?  She wore tights to cover up her legs (and tone down the miniskirt), and she wore a heeled bootie.  Because they provide more coverage, booties are a less risqué shoe option than an equivalently high heel.

Extra Tall Bar Stools

Extra tall bar stools are available in wooden, metal, swivel, contemporary, classic, and retro styles to coincide with your counter height.

Extra tall bar stools are a great way to utilize high countertops, and also bring a much more contemporary look to your home.  If you have always dreamed of creating your own home bar from your kitchen countertops, but figured they were just too high, you’ve found your solution in tall bar stools.  Extra tall bar stools not only look great, but they give you that height that you need to make use of any tall surface.  Plus they are great for achieving a stylish restaurant or pub feel, right from the comfort of your own home.  But there are a lot of different types of extra tall counter stools on the market, so you’ll have to figure out the type that seems best to you.

One of the main things to consider about any stool, is whether or not you would like them to have a swivel motion.  Extra tall swivel bar stools can be more convenient, as they easily lend themselves to more sitting positions, without having to be jostled around.  However, they aren’t quite as sturdy as solid stools, and the swivel mechanism will require repair over time.  This can be a hassle, but a standard stool just can’t compare with the comfort and convenience that a tall swivel stool provides.

Another thing to consider, is the primary location where you’ll be using your extra tall bar stools.  If you will be using them for regular eating at a kitchen countertop, you’ll need stools that can cope with the potential of spilled food or drink.  You’ll probably want an extra tall kitchen stool that doesn’t feature a cushion, and is mostly just hard surfaces so that they can be easily cleaned no matter the circumstance.  But if the extra tall bar stool will be used more in a social setting, you’ll want a thick cushion so that they are as comfortable as possible.  This way you can spend long hours talking, without having to worry about your comfort.

TouchTec gloves keep fingers warm while operating touch screens

As most of the newer personal devices feature touch sensitive input usually via the screen, operating them during cold winter days can become an annoyance. Conventional, old tech gloves have to be taken off before one can even pick up a phone call.

See, electronic technology advances at a high speed but we or our clothing sometimes fall behind this rapid development and we are not able to operate them properly at times.

Touch sensitive gloves have been around for a year now as some innovative minds figured out the problem and a solution by adding conductive yarn patches on the tip of the index finger which will make the necessary skin resistance contact with the touch screens’ surface.

As with any new innovation and product idea, over time simple and limited offers on the market will expand through new companies joining the this market segment.

Gaspar Gloves is offering for this winter season a range of TouchTec® gloves which are based on a patented nano-technology that gives new functionality to a variety of textiles and leather. It enables the wearer of TouchTec Gloves to operate any touch screen devices without removing gloves.
