The nude shoe deserves a starring role in your wardrobe and if you’re yet to discover its brilliance, heed our words now. Nude goes with almost every outfit – whatever the fabric material, print design, colour choices – your nude shoe will work with it. This saves you morning stress and precious time when you’re standing there with your blossom pink floral dress and no footwear.
But the real magic lies in the nude shoe’s ability to elongate your pins. Given the colour is so neutral, nude footwear will make your legs appear slimmer and longer. Heels, platforms, straps, flats, sneakers – it doesn’t matter the style either. A best friend to the petite girls out there and those who just like longer legs (so every female on the planet then) the nude shoe is a classic that will never go out of style.
If you’ve got a deeper skintone then fear not, the likes of Christian Louboutin and many others have created a full range of heels in seven skin shades for all females.
Without further ado, here’s our top 10 picks:

We really can’t express enough how these will become a solid staple for you. Thin and feminine, they’re very minimalist and will show off your legs and feet to their best potential. These also come in an array of colours including a more yellow-pigment of the nude shade, so you can pick whichever pair you think suits your skin tone the most. Compared to the earlier classic ankle strap option, this pair has higher, thinner heels for a more femme fatale look.
