What shoes says about you

You know first impression is very important and clothes count a lot. Clothes and your style say much more about you as you think. But according to psychologists, shoes also say a lot about a person. Shoes show your fashion sense, status, age, gender, approximate income and attention you pay to details.

You can get an amazing amount of information about a person just in few seconds. So read and learn these curios facts:

High-Tops

According to studies, people who wear high-tops tend to be introverted, less agreeable and conscientious. But if you not focus only on shoes, maybe you will change your opinion based on the rest of the outfit. If someone wears a suit with high-tops, you will think that he might wants to bend the rules a bit.    

Sneakers

People who wear colorful, brand name sneakers are more creative, sociable and more emotionally stable. They are extroverted and they love new experiences. They get bored staying at the same place for long.  They are less likely to have anxiety, negativity and pessimism. 

Stilettos

 

Someone that loves stilettos is most likely a vivid person that loves attention. They like people talking about them and they consider sex appeal very important.          But you have to know how to wear them, where and when because you might seen by others as a shallow girl.

Flats

 

People who use flats are usually friendly, sweet and a little child in their soul. Women, who love flats, usually are great fashionistas and follow the latest trends. Men like them even they give the impression of fragile persons.

Sexy Wedges

 

Women that like wedges shoes are confident they seek for reliability and trust. But when it comes to decision they hesitate. They like to look sexy but not to exaggerate or be vulgar. 

Boots- lovers

 

Boots lovers are egocentric and reserved. They prefer doing everything themselves. At the same time they are sensitive, don’t like rudeness and worry about relation with the others. 

 

 

Common mistakes in men’s style

There are some mistakes in men’s look that can be avoided. We will not talk about obvious things like: poorly fitted or un-ironing clothing. We will talk about three common mistakes you do with purpose or not:

Not paying attention to socks

Some little elements can seem unimportant but they complete your overall look and they can make the difference. In general men pay more attention to accessories like: ties, bags, hats, jewelers etc and fewer to socks.

There are some rules to follow:

You can wear white socks in gym.

When you wear shorts, keep your socks as short as possible. Invisible socks are just perfect with this outfit.

The perfect choices are invisible socks or you can try colored or patterned socks to bring some creativity to your look.

So choose well what to wear because little mistakes can ruin your entire articulated look. Remember, your outfit tells your personage, your individuality so take care of it in the right way.

Miss buttoning

Nowadays is like a trend that men let at least one button undone. But thinking logically, buttons exist for a reason however more men mislead purposely one or more of them. The do it in shirts, polo, blazers or jackets.

We can understand if you have a smaller size than yours and are impossible to bottom up all of them, but to make this a fashion statement….. That’s something to discuss about.

A good choice is: if you are wearing a two-button jacket leave the top button undone. If you’re wearing a three button, button up only the middle one or the top two buttons. If you are wearing an outfit with 4 or more buttons, try to let the bottom button undone. You can follow these rules also for cardigans or waistcoats.

Designer’s labels

Not all of you can afford the expensive prices of the most famous designers. Some use to wear designer clothing, some others can only buy one or two for special occasions and others buy only imitations. 

There are lot of persons that love to show others whose designer is his outfit and to take attention they use slogans and logos garments. But nowadays, the new face of style and luxury is discretion. A logo or a designer label doesn’t make you “cool or wealthy”.

Money can buy expensive clothes but it can`t buy a style. So, focus on buying something that fits perfectly to you and refresh your wardrobe with the latest trends. There is no need that others know your designer clothes.  

Follow up these three rules and learn how to be stylish without exaggeration.
