Best Nude Shoes: Women’s Dress Heels and Strappy Sandals

We’re not quite sure when it happened, but nude shoes have pretty much become a classic. So much so that they’re now seen on the red carpet nearly at the same frequency as black shoes!

That can, of course, be mostly attributed to the fact that nude shades go with practically any color, but it’s also because nudes are just as versatile as the other neutrals without being as harsh, as basic or as boring.

Depending on the shoe design, nude shoes can look young, fresh and sweet, and with just a slight tweak here and there, can look sexy, sultry and suggestive in an instant.

Seeing as how hot nude shoes are now and have been for the past couple of seasons, we aren’t surprised to see nude shoes being the dominating color of many shoe collections. They’re also fabulous for weddings.
