Depending on what you decree to dress as this Halloween, there is no doubt that the shoes are just as foremost as the rest of the costume. Here's a quick look at some favorite costume ideas and the shoes that are principal to their success.
Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz was obviously defined by her footwear. The gingham dress, wicker basket and pigtails are of course important, but do you remember how Blah her shoes were before she became Technicolor? Yeah, they were black and orthopedic. Gross. Make sure you get those ruby red slippers or you may look like Ellie Mae Clampett instead of Dorothy!
A lot of habitancy like to dress as someone from decades past for Halloween. Each era has a defining style and shoe type that will scream which decade you're hailing from. Flappers from the 20s can wear a low heeled Mary Jane. Wanna rock the 40's pin-up look? Round toed pumps paired with thigh high stockings. The 50's sock hop costume needs black and white saddle shoes; a 60's modster requires white, shiny, and chunky knee-high go-go boots, and a hippie costume can be whatever from a Birkenstock to a worn cowboy boot. If you plan on emulating Tony Manero in Saturday Night Fever or any other disco loving 70's icon, then you know you better find some Pee Wee Herman platforms. Dressing up like Madonna, Cyndi Lauper or some other equally wild 80's goddess? Try some Day Glo Minnie Mouse pumps (don't forget the leg warmers). Wanna smell like teen spirit and grunge it up like the 90's? Army boots, duh.
Thinking of other favorite costumes that aren't decade dependent? Let's see, princesses need something ultra girly and more than likely blinged out with rhinestones. Superheroes are in the boot category; the sexier the superhero, the higher the boot and heel. Elvira, Morticia, or any witchy woman... Certainly black shiny boots... High heeled... And laced up. A goddess, warrior, cave woman or Pocahontas commonly means some kind of sandal lacing up your legs. Dressing as one of the Jersey Shore "ladies", you'll want to think hooker heels, or Sookie Stackhouse go for white Keds. If you're planning on whatever from Avatar, find shoes that are blue.
Costumes favorite in 2010 are Certainly going to consist of this chick you may have heard of... Lady Gaga? To pull this off, you're going to want to get your hands on the most outrageous shoes you can find. If you can't find whatever crazy enough, then spend in some thigh-high stiletto boots with the highest heels you can stand and decorate them within an inch of their life.
If you plan on being a "sexy" something (You know sexy schoolgirl, sexy pirate, sexy cowgirl, sexy cop, yada yada yada) you have two choices: patent platform Mary Janes or patent platform boots.
