As there is a saying that "90% of people's appearance is what they look like", "appearance" is very important in business.
A well-groomed appearance gives you a sense of attitude, dignity, and sincerity toward work, which is useful for improving the evaluation of others and smooth work.
When it comes to grooming, the suit tends to be emphasized, but don't forget to choose shoes.
Many women choose pumps for suit styles.
Choose pumps that match your suit, as well as those that fit your feet, to create a well-balanced outfit.
This time, MAMIAN, who has confidence in making pumps for Japanese women, will introduce how to choose pumps that match suits.
There are two types of pumps that match the suit
There are two types of pumps that match suit styles: plain type pants and pumps with straps.
plain type pants
The plain type is an orthodox pump that goes well with a suit style.
It can be used widely from job hunting to office and sales work.
On the other hand, pumps with casual materials and colors are also sold, so it is important to choose pumps designed for business.
pumps with straps
Pumps with straps are characterized by a sense of stability and comfort.
The straps hold your feet so you don't have to worry about them coming off even if you're not used to wearing heels.
You can choose with confidence even when walking around for business or outside.
However, pumps with straps on the ankles have a strong casual impression, so it is safer to choose pumps with straps on the instep.
However, if your company recommends formal attire, it is a good idea to check whether it is okay to wear straps.
How to choose pumps for suits that suit you
Next, I will introduce how to choose pumps that suit your feet.
Pumps that match a suit have different points to pay attention to than pumps that you usually wear.
Choose according to your position and the situation in which you wear it.
Round toe, almond toe, square toe
Pumps worn in business situations require attention to the shape of the toes.
Pointed toes with pointed toes and open toes with open toes give a casual impression, so choose pumps with round toes, almond toes, or square toes.
The round toe is designed with a rounded toe.
The almond toe is slightly sleeker and rounder than the round toe, but not as pointed as the pointed toe.
The square toe has a square shape with a soft toe.
The color of the shoes is a basic color that matches the color of the suit
The basic color of the pumps is the basic color.
Basic colors refer to colors such as white, black, navy, brown, beige, and gray that do not give a flashy impression and do not get in the way when combined with other colors.
In addition, the point is to choose a basic color that matches the color of the suit.
If in doubt, choose black.
Black is the color that gives the most formal impression and can be used for ceremonial occasions, so it is convenient to have 1 to 3 pairs.
Heel height is 3-7cm
It is said that the height of the heel that is comfortable to walk is 3 to 5 cm.
If you are not used to wearing heels or have a job where you walk a lot, choose pumps with low heels.
In addition, 7 cm is said to be the height that makes your feet look beautiful, so it is recommended for people who are accustomed to wearing heels, or for those who work less time standing or going out.
Recommended materials are leather, synthetic leather, and suede.
In formal occasions, pumps made of casual materials tend to be avoided.
Therefore, choose pumps made of materials that give a formal impression, such as smooth or suede.
Avoid shiny materials like enamel, or special materials like tweed or embossing.
In most cases, there is no rule about whether the material is natural leather or synthetic leather, but synthetic leather is easy to care for, so it is very convenient to buy a pair for busy people such as beginners and job hunters, and for rainy days. is.
Suede material may be considered casual, so it's a good idea to check with the company before wearing it.
Recommended suit and pumps coordination
Finally, we will introduce recommended coordination to produce a sense of cleanliness and elegance.
Dress rules differ depending on the company, so be sure to refer to the dress code of your seniors or check with your boss in advance.
Also, in the case of new employees, clothes that are too fashionable may stand out badly.
Until you get used to the work, it is safe to choose a monotone or a safe color.
Light gray suit x light pink shirt x white pumps
This is a recommended outfit for spring and summer.
By changing the color of the shirt and pumps according to the season, the same suit can give a different impression.
If you think the light pink shirt is flashy, choose a white shirt.
Navy suit x off-white shirt x navy pumps
Matching the color of the suit and the pumps is a cardinal rule of coordination.
A navy suit is a heavy color, so some people may hesitate to wear it in the summer, but when paired with a white shirt, it creates a refreshing impression.
Charcoal gray suit x black shirt x black pumps
Charcoal gray, like black and navy, is a standard color for women's suit styles.
A charcoal gray suit can be paired with any color of pumps, but black pumps give the look a more formal look.
The bright color of the shirt and pumps you wear inside will change the impression greatly, so you can wear it according to the season and mood.
