Grey Heels & How to Look Taller
Written by Bronny   
Hi Bronny,

I have an event coming up and I'll be wearing a grey dress with grey sandals (heels) and black tights. Is it okay if I wear the black tights with the sandals, or will it look odd?

Thank you,
Salma

ANSWER

Hi Salma,

Without seeing the exact sandals I don't think grey sandals and black tights would work (do you have a photo of the shoes you could send me?).

This would be a color clash and as such you'd be better with a different colored shoe, close toed or peep toe preferably. With a sandal heel a bare leg is a better option or if you want to wear tights, i'd go with a pair of sheer pantihose.

This color clash look with sandals and dark tights was hot for a little while in the early 90s, but isn't really on the fashion agenda right now.

Love

RESPONSE WITH PHOTOS

Hi Bronny,

I sent you two pictures of the heels with the tights.  The tights aren't actually that opaque, it's just the effect of the camera.  Thank you so much Bronny. (:

Oh! Do you have any suggestions about things to wear that would make you look taller?? I'm not that short, I'm 160cm but I think height is really important.

Thanks again!
Salma xx






ANSWER NO.2

Hi Salma,

Now that i've seen the shoes and tights I actually think they do work together. It is as mentioned very early 90s, but I think you could rock that look with attitude. A bandage dress with this look could look absolutely gorgeous.

As for looking taller, it's all about hiking yourself up with heels and lengthening the body. Skinny jeans, figure hugging clothes and accentuate your best features. 160cm isn't short, but if you're wanting to emulate how to look taller you can beat Kylie Minogue who at 5ft is short but knows how to make herself look about 6ft tall but creating long slim lines!
