White heels are versatile and can be paired with any outfit, making them an ideal choice for both formal and casual wear. They can be paired with white boots with a summer dress or a low-heeled mule with ripped jean shorts and a tank. Nude shoes, with their subtle and neutral tones, effortlessly complement white heels.
There are various styles of shoes available in white, such as Birkenstocks, platform heels, or strappy sandals. A pink shade complements white well, so pairing a mini dress with white platform heels can complete your look. Clear heels make all-white looks appear crisp and cool, and they are also great shoes to wear with white dresses.
Some options that would complement white high heels well include black, navy blue, red, or pastel colors like blush pink or baby blue. For a casual yet stylish outfit, consider a hot pink cape blazer and white skinny jeans. Office-appropriate pieces like tailored trousers, pencil skirts, and blouses in neutral colors can work well with white block heels or closed-toe pumps.
In summary, white heels are versatile and can be paired with various outfits, from formal white dresses to casual outfits. They can be paired with white sneakers, heels, sandals, stiletto heels, and strappy heels.

White shoes are generally not allowed at weddings due to etiquette rules, as white is traditionally meant for the to-be-weds. However, for modern, laid-back weddings, white shoes can be acceptable if they are not overly prominent and are part of a well-coordinated outfit. Instead of pure white or ivory, opt for nude, pale gray, blush, or pastel shoes. Metallics are considered a “new neutral” and silver or gold shoes are a great option.
If the wedding vibe is more casual or the ceremony is held outdoors, it is best to avoid sneakers and dirty, distressed, or scuffed shoes. Classic pumps for women and black dress shoes for men are timeless options. If the wedding is outdoors, women should consider block heels or flats to easily walk around on grass or turf. In summary, white shoes are generally not allowed at weddings unless the bride expressly requests it.

However, it wasn’t until the late 1960s/early 1970s that fashion rules began to be challenged, and the rule began to disappear. Celebrities and trendsetters began wearing white all year round, and the fashion industry followed suit. In recent years, the rule has almost disappeared, and white can be worn any time of year.

📹 Outfits That Go With Nude Pumps : Fashion Outfits
If you’re wearing nude pumps, you’re going to want to pay very close attention to the outfit you choose to wear with them.
The color of that sweater is terrific on you, Marie-Anne. Loved all the looks for you, except the ankle boots. Ankle boots in my opinion are not flattering to the line of the leg even with dark hosiery. For me, my eye goes right to that cut-off point at the ankle and I don’t see the rest of the outfit or the person.
I think its s bit more trickier with ankle boots – has to be just right. Here in South London at the moment its very “trendy” to wear masculine looking ankle boots e.g Dr martens with a short skirt (quite short too) and no tights! 😱 and you will see it on all shaped legs too😊 I guess when something is “in fashion” some people don’t realize it will suit some but not everyone. 😉 thankyou Marie Anne for another dose of elegance today.
I do wear skirts above my knee, but only when I can wear dark, opaque tights. I have severe varicose veins I prefer to keep covered. I don’t particularly care for the look of ankle boots with short skirts. But I will definitely try out my oxfords with a short skirt. Never thought of it! Thank you for sharing all these looks!
I love that skirt!!! I’d take it even shorter, I’m 55 but my taste runs towards mid-thigh length, sort of 60s mod style — always with opaque tights and a simple, fully covered top for balance. 😊 I love the oxfords, and also love Chelsea style boots with a mini. I don’t mind wider around the ankle at all, it’s a bit punky. 😉
yup, it is opaque tights season… what are the guidelines on matte vs sheer, sheer with sheen… I got an amazing deal on black crystal pave 3″ pimps from Peter Kaiser in a classic style. I can’t believe I actually found them in a size I can tolerate for dinners. I’m assuming the rest of the outfit has be matte?
Your top and skirt are gorgeous. I love the color of the top and the skirt is beautiful, too. I wear my skirts just above the knee. Young girls look good in mini skirts, but I don’t think we older women do. I love loafers with a chunky heel. I have a beautiful burgundy pair. In the US, we call your black heels with sparkles Mary Janes. I’ve always loved Mary Janes. I agree that the short boots don’t look quite right with the skirt. The knee high boots look great with the short skirt, but I agree that a block heel would be better. Wonderful article. xo~linda
I can’t wear short skirts anymore. I did until my mid 40s as I was a dancer and had good legs. But dancing takes a heavy toll on the joints and after numerous knee operations I have one knee that is noticeably larger than the other, so I never wear anything shorter than a midi length hemline now. I think ankle boots look good with the same colour tights and a short skirt but they do need to fit the calves perfectly or it breaks up the legs. I also prefer boots with block heels. They are more comfortable and look very chic. Boots with stilettos looked good on Cat Woman but I don’t think they do on most people.
Greetings from southcentral Texas USA 🇺🇸; Your article is fabulous to behold, I love the styles! The colors are beautiful and the accessories are outstanding; thank you my cherished friend Marie-Anne. It will be fun to try these fashion style ideas out in the near future, with great pleasure. Again, thank you.
I’m 61 and like to show my legs, my best body feature, they haven’t changed since I was a teenager. Good legs run in my family, it’s nothing I can take credit for! I don’t go shorter than about the length of your red skirt, though, and do wear lots of midi-skirts, too. I’m short, so I can often get away with a longer “short-skirt” or dress, especially if I can get it in a tall, or size up. I just got a sweater dress I love, it was short on the 5’11″ model, but just above the knee on me, seven inches shorter!
Hmm… many shoe thoughts: I loved most your 4. look (lace ups with heels) and the 6. (Long boots), although I agree block heel might suit you better with that skirt. O-oh, many opinions here against ankle boots & skirts/ dresses. I’ve been known to wear that many times, but I defend myself with our cold weather and the fact that I have bigger calfs 😊. Also, the combat boot + skirt trend is VERY suitable for our weather – with stockings, of course! With heels, there is more risk of slipping on the icy streets… But still, now I’m considering investing in feminine knee-high boots, when I can afford it. It looks so beautiful. I just can’t decide should it be black or brown 🤔. And, I never wear short skirts because I don’t like my knees. My go-to skirt is just below the knee with a full hemline (or a- line), love the movement of the fabric! So I guess I like feminine styles more than I admit… 😊
The Les Babies were my favorite! I agree with you on the ankle boots, a bit too high, though I do think ankle boots would look great with your beautiful skirt. If I wear a skirt above my knee I like to wear flats or a low heel ankle boot. Marie-Anne, I have a navy blue silk wrap dress(something I would wear to dinner) what color shoes do you think would look best? Wonderful article! ❤️ Merci!
I love the deep burgundy sweater and the red faux leather skirt! Beautiful color combination! I love all the shoes you chose. I hear you about the boots that come up higher than the ankle. I have the same issue with slim calves and would prefer something a tad more fitted. As far as shorter hemlines go, I like skirts just above knee to maybe mid-thigh at shortest. I am in my 40s.
Thank you Marie-Anne for these wonderful looks! I haven’t thought about the too wide ankle boots. The knee high boots are great, even though they have the stiletto, I have ones with block heels and the problem is that they are a little too wide below my knees. The Oxford shoes are great, but I’m short (1, 61 m), it’s a wonderful look for work (I’m a professor) and need to be confortable with the blackboard, which is no longer black, but white, but I don’t know how to say it in English. Those loafers are fantastic. I love red, I need that red skirt: it’s on my wish list for the next autumn time: it’s springtime here, although 15°C is quite chilly. But without the skirt, I think I will have some issues over there! Au revoir!
Thank you for this timely article. I agree about the boots. In fact, I am on the fence about a new pair of booties as I have recently started wearing more dresses to the office. In the Chicago area we have all seasons so I want to be warm but look ‘chic’. Again, thank you for teaching us and especially for showing multiple examples.
Your shoe collection is stunning. I have to say, I have a couple of skirts that are definitely NOT French Chic which I wear during the Australian summer as an alternative to shorts. One of which is a good 12 – 15 cm above my knee -which I always wear with casual flats. Mostly my summer skirts are 6-8 cm above my knee which I feel entirely comfortable wearing.
My footwear wardrobe is limited, but I wear my shorter skirts (top of the knee) with low-heeled loafers, sturdy ballet flats with a small wedge heel (+/- 1.5 cm), or knee-high boots with a 7-8 cm block heel. I might pair a fuller skirt with lace-up ankle boots, but definitely not a pencil/straight cut.
I like number 3 and 4 shoes the best, but I would wear number 1 and 2 as well in the right situations. These selections remind me of how I used to dress when I worked in the fashion industry in California, back in the 80’s and 90’s. Very classic. I also wore outfits like the one you have on. I agree that number 5 (the short boots) doesn’t work as well with the skirt. You’re opinion on the length of skirt after 50 years old is interesting, and something I was considering just today. Back in the 80’s and 90’s I wore mid thigh length short skirts/mini-skirts. I am guessing that at over 50 years old, now I should take the hem down closer to the knee. 😉 I haven’t worn skirts for quit some time, but I’m contemplating wearing them again now that my children are grown up.
Bonjour Marie-Anne. I love the rich red of your jumper. It’s quite hard to find a deep, burgundy type of red. Just gorgeous. I’ve always loved loafers. They always look great with opaque tights. Mine are a bit lower in the heal but yours look terrific on you. I do like the short boots. The texture is lovely. I don’t have slim calves like you so they’d probably fit. I do agree though, that they’d be better with jeans or trousers over them. The zip at the front isn’t flattering at that part of the leg either, so better to cover. When I have a minute I will watch the capsule wardrobe article you mentioned. Merci!
Black opaque tights! I love tights! I like my hemline just at or above my knee. No shorter than that, and any longer just doesn’t flatter me. I think all the looks you showed are great because the black is consistent. The ankle boots showed off your legs to great advantage, the tall boots I would wear but with a low heel (more equestrian style, which I have and love), but I really like a great oxford, loafer, or Mary Jane (your 3rd shoe). You really do make it fun, so thanks for that!
Hello Marie-Anne, I like your skirt length with the opaque tights for wintertime…so chic! I’m with you regarding the boots being too big at the ankle area. A boot closer to the smaller part of the leg would look better and feel better. Not every boot or shoe works with every application, does it? But, your other choices worked well in every sense of the word. Loved this article! Thank you! 💕
Absolutely agree about hem length…just above the knee is enough ….certainly for me. I’m not keen on the ankle boots with the skirt but love the knee high boots with it and would definitely wear that and all the other shoe styles although I haven’t worn skirts for quite a few years …perhaps I will when I am at target weight. Love that skirt BTW. Thanks for the upload and God bless Marie-Anne. Gilly
Bonjour Marie-Anne! I have 3 favourite looks from this article: the derby look, the Tory loafers and the higher heeled lace ups. In my opinion, the tall boots don’t work because they break up the long line of your legs, which defeats the reason for wearing a shorter skirt. I think tall boots look better when they are worn with longer skirts, or under cropped pants. It’s Thanskgiving weekend, here in Canada, and one of the things I am grateful for is your you tube websites that teach me so much! Merci!
I love every look, Marie-Anne; however, my fave is the loafers. Love the block heels and the gold trim. I would not go shorter than your beautiful leather skirt. You look perfect every time. I am very conscious about the shape of the skirt. Sometimes it’s too baggy and does not look right. Therefore, I have a tailor who takes it in as needed for that polished look. This article is awesome. Merci. 😘
You look beautiful and I am so glad to find your website. It turns out my Cincinnati- raised mother imbued me with what I never knew was French chic style. She said buy the best you can afford and make sure it matches what you already own. Choose neutrals and look hard in the mirror to be sure it fits and suits your shape. She also said a good dressmaker is as important as a good plumber. My only skirts shorter than just above the knee I play tennis in.😄. My one puzzle is that I can’t wear heels. What do you think about a cap-toe pump (black leather with patent toe) with a one inch block heel with this kind of skirt?
Great little article. I agree that the short boots (Look #5) were not as flattering a look. The nice flow of the dark leg and shoes is interrupted by the cut-off look of the boot. Look #6 with higher boots restores the flow to some extent but even #6 is not as attractive, I think, as #1-4. So much depends on how “dressy” you want this casual outfit ro be.
Ms. Marie-Anne Lecoeur; as I was considering investing in some new shoes like the ones you have presented here, I realized my dilemma. I now live in a very hot climate and no one wears tights or hosiery here. We only get cool weather for about 3 months a year. In such cases, would you wear black shoes with no stockings, or short dress socks, or perhaps wear nude colored shoes instead? Thank you so much for your articles! They are most instructive. 💕
Your outfit is beautiful! The length of the skirt truly is perfect for both age and your lovely legs. I’m with you on the ankle boot. They look out of place with the outfit. I love the loafers and would probably also wear that outfit with knee high boots that are either flat or with very small heel. Once again, wonderful article! Merci
I like all the boots and shoes except the Oxfords; they are too much like the “sensible” shoes I had to wear to school – long ago but not forgotten! Isn’t it funny how something like that affects your taste all these years later? I agree that the ankle boots are a bit wide, but if they were narrower, I would like the look, so it is just the size rather than the style that is the problem. I love the tall boots, but personally I would wear them with a slightly longer skirt. I am not keen on the gap between skirt and boots; it seems to say “Look at my knees!” That is just personal taste, though; I don’t really have the legs for a style that draws too much attention.
I do go shorter with some styles of short dress in autumn/winter, but worn with opaque tights and brogues or flat boots. I agree that a block heel feels better with short skirts in the colder seasons for the everyday or work, although heeled sandals can be nice for going out with certain styles of mini. I think all your shoe choices looked good with your skirt though, even the ankle boots. You can get away with it because the boots are so stylish in themselves.
They were all wonderful shoe choices with the skirt, top, and hosiery. The high-heeled boot #6 at the end looks great, and you could also dress up the look with either a silk blouse instead of a turtleneck, or perhaps a silk scarf or gold necklace with the turtleneck? Just a thought. Always appreciate your fashion sense, Marie-Anne!
You are correct after a certain age hem lines should not be too high – I loved my mini skirt when I was young I looked good. Now I like the mid calf or just above the knee and shoe choise is important. If I need to travel on the U bahn or S bahn (sub way or tram) I ware trainers because I need to run then at work have two pairs of shoes, low heals or higher ones depending on the outfit. I still lecture on line but do this standing up so love my high heals.
I’ve given up on skirts because my thighs are the widest point of my body and I also have heavy legs and ankles. So a knee length straight skirt usually is too big in the waist and the hem is kind of wide. What do you think of textured tights? Like to wear under shorts or a skirt when you don’t want solid black on your legs? I thought of wearing fishnets but maybe that looks kind of sleazy…
