Accessories can make or break a look.
The cartoonification of fashion is all the rage right now, withpuffy, cloud-like accessories trending.
No fashion accessory is as powerful as the right shoe.
According to stylist Jared Eng, a thick-soled shoe is exactly what you need for a fashion-forward outfit.
So before you go for something dainty, think about how a bold shoe can elevate your look.
Pair the shoes with a more feminine dress and a smaller shoulder bag to counterbalance their chunkiness.
Keep your jewelry minimal for the same reason, and let the clogs shine.
Chunky flip flops
Thong wedges are the underrated warm-weather chunky shoe.
They can be styled in so many different ways, depending on where you’re going.
Obviously, they’re the perfect poolside shoe, but they can be so much more.
If you want something more fun, colors and prints are your best friends.
Fun office wear
Contrary to popular opinion, office wear doesn’t have to be boring.
Chances are, wherever you work, your office allows for some color.
A detachable collar is an amazing add-on if you don’t already have one.
Keep the rest of the accessories minimal.
When in doubt, wear a loafer
Platform loafers have become the staple bold shoe.
Wearable in any season and almost any weather, leave it to this chunky pair to steal the spotlight.
Even though they go with basically everything, sometimes you just want a basic outfit.
Link the entire outfit together by adding some black accessories and a cute hair clip.
This shoe staple is unequaled when it comes to bold shoes.
Styling the pair can go in many directions, with the easiest being the preppy route.
If the weather allows for it, add a long black overcoat.
Matching black accessories are a must, with gloves and beret hats being excellent choices.
The color block
The color brown is the unsung hero of the fashion world.
A bold pair of shoes in brown can instantly take the most basic outfit to a super chic level.
To balance out the color block happening in the bottom part, go for a darker top and jacket.
Color me good
Wearing color is always a good idea.
To incorporate a pair of bold shoes into your vivacious looks, make them colorful as well.
Work around the colors of your choice and match your chunky soles.
Create the illusion of continuity in your bottom part by matching the colors of your shoes and the tights.
As the shoes are chunky and thick-soled, they will stand out regardless.
The unexpected bold shoe
Chunky shoes don’t need to be basic.
Yes, it works; even better than one might imagine.
To push the pair over the finish line, go for colorful ones.
To make the shoes truly stand out, keep your clothes in neutral shades such as black and white.
If you opt for a skirt, create dimension in the outfit by pairing it with an oversized button-down.
To complete the look, add bold jewelry, preferably earrings and bracelets, and a cute micro bag.
Go about styling them like you would any other pair of sneakers.
Baggy utility pants are never a bad idea for a cute casual look, as is a cute top.
Keep the color scheme similar overall and add a leather jacket to complete the relaxed silhouette.
As a cherry on top, go for some chunky gold earrings and rimless sunglasses.
