Whether you’re the kind of girl who needs a separate closet for your shoes alone, or the kind who only buys a new pair when your fall-back flats have completely worn out, there are specific shoe styles that every college girl should own. Need an excuse to go shopping? Go through my checklist of the 5 pairs of shoes every college girl should own to see if you have them all, or maybe need a closet update:
1.
“Career” Heels:
You
might not have a job that requires more than tennis shoes right now,
but college moves fast and you want to be prepared for possible
internships, interviewing for scholarships or awards, and eventually
interviewing for your dream job post-grad. Look for a well-made,
comfortable, all-purpose black shoe with a low heel that you can walk
around in all day without wanting to rip out your eyelash extensions.
Higher quality will probably run you at least $50, but a shoe that
will be worn to multiple occasions needs to be durable and
comfortable.
2.
Going-Out Pumps
From
keg parties, to Hallowe’en dances, to cheap margarita pitcher night
at the local bar, we always have a reason to go out. To look your
best and get you in a partying mood, every college girl should own a
pair of fun going-out pumps. Pick a heel height that you can handle:
if you’re a supermodel-in-training go for the 4, 5+ inchers,
otherwise stick to 3″ and below. Don’t worry about spending a lot
of money on these shoes, you’re likely not going to wear them as
often and want to update to the next trend in 6 months anyway.
3.
Tall Boots
These
can be worn for a night out on the town when the weather is chilly,
to class, shopping, out to dinner: the options are endless and a
great pair of tall boots can be truly versatile. The price range is
up to you: if you want to go for a trendy look, like over-the-knee
boots, aim for a less expensive pair, since they’ll be out of style
sooner. If you choose a classic style, aim for higher price, and
therefore higher quality boots that you’ll wear forever.
4.
Ballet Flats
If
you don’t already own 16 pairs of ballet flats (or even if you do)
it’s time you grabbed a pair (or 12). These bad boys combine the
best of all worlds: comfort, style, and practicality. You can wear
these pretty much daily, to class or the mall, and even dress them up
with tights and a nice dress for an evening look that won’t leave
you blistered in the morning. The best part is, ballet flats are now
so popular, you’re guaranteed to find a style that suits your
taste.
