DRESSY YET CASUAL • We’ll start off with the dressy casuals. Get a pair of neutral slingbacks. They look great with skirts or trousers, think dinner party. You can also dress them down by pairing them with jeans or a denim skirt and a cardigan. Gabrielle Callan www.topwidecalfboots.com
STRAPPY SANDALS • Grab a pair of strappy sandals. A beautiful leather pair will last you years. Dress up your casual jeans for an upscale bbq or boat party. They can go from jeans all the way to formal or semi-formal attire depending on how you wear them. Stick with a mid-tone or a neutral for the most wearability. If you can handle some bling go for a sassy metallic. Gabrielle Callan www.topwidecalfboots.com
CLASSIC OXFORDS • Pick up a pair of classic oxfords or loafers for a casual weekend shoe. Everybody needs a casual shoe to hit the grocery in. You could also choose a moccasin or clog if that’s more your taste. Just stick with a nice suede or leather so you will get years of use. Gabrielle Callan www.topwidecalfboots.com
ATHLETIC SHOES • A high quality athletic shoe is a must for wearing with your yoga pants and track suits. Of course those are for hitting the gym too. Stick with a good name brand in leather. Try to avoid any trendy colors, hot pink will go out of style in a season or two, I promise. Pick a more neutral color. Gabrielle Callan www.topwidecalfboots.com
KNEE HIGH BOOTS • Don’t forget to get some boots! The best choice here is a leather knee high boot. A classic riding boot is a wonderful choice. Go for black, dark brown or cognac for a more timeless look. Get a short heel for the most versatility. If you have trouble finding boots that fit your calves try this site, they specialize in those hard to fit designs.

CASUAL WARM WEATHER SHOES • Snag a couple of pairs of warm weather shoes but keep the classic look going. Stick with leather even if you are buying a flip-flop, you will have many more options for their wear. You could also go with a nice ballet slipper or a basic sandal. Keep the look timeless and not trendy! Gabrielle Callan www.topwidecalfboots.com
RAIN WEAR • Finally, get yourself some galoshes. Go for a traditional Wellington, you can get a fun color but be sure it’s something you will love for years to come. Try to resist the skulls or smiley faces, they may be cute but your tastes will surely change over the years. Gabrielle Callan www.topwidecalfboots.com
