At some point in time, every girl decides to get a wardrobe revamp. From clothing must-haves to classic jewellery, I’m sure you’re hunting for fashion advice on the internet right now. I had been through this phase when gradually I built my wardrobe. From owning t-shirts from the men’s section to finally having all that it takes to remain fashionable, my wardrobe has sure gone through a major reformation. If you knew me before I turned who I am today, I’m sure you would be surprised. From someone who wore loose t-shirts with slippers or canvas sneakers, now my shoe rack has a variety of shoes fit for different occasions and different moods.
Every girl knows that shoes can make or break an outfit. Whether you’re dressing for work, brunch, travel, or a night out, having the right pair of shoes can transform your look instantly. Here are the 7 types of shoes every girl must own to create a versatile, stylish, and functional wardrobe.
If you’re looking for some shoe fashion advice, then continue reading.
1. Beach Flip-Flops
These are the most basic type I’m sure you own already. A pair of flip-flops is one of the types of shoes every girl must own. It is ideal for the beach or for running errands or for simply travelling on long distance train journeys. There are plenty of beach flip-flops available in the market and if you don’t own a cute one already, I think you should definitely buy one.
2. Fancier Flip-Flops
There are two types of flip-flops: the rough-and-tough one which I mentioned above and those that are cuter. These flip-flops go really well with fancier outfits as well as can add an oomph to any casual outfit. Such flip-flops or ‘flats’ suit dresses, jeans, or even laidback shorts.
3. Classic White Sneakers
Nothing beats the simplicity and versatility of a pair of white sneakers. Whether you’re dressing down with jeans or up with a skirt, white sneakers add a fresh, modern edge. They’re one of the best types of shoes every girl must own who prefer comfortable for everyday wear, perfect for travel, and go with nearly every outfit.
4. Block Sandals
Block heels are a classic pair of shoes you must own to pair with a nice summer dress. On simple occasions you can wear a pair of flats, however, to make a fashion statement, head for block heels or platform sandals instead. My pick would be tan, something in the brown shade as it goes well with most of the dresses. You should definitely buy shoes that are universal, meaning, they go with any dress you pick!
5. Joggers
Irrespective of whether you are a fitness freak or not, every woman must own a pair of fitness shoes. If you don’t have one yet, buy shoes that are bright and fun. Almost every manufacturer out there produces bright coloured shoes such as pink, orange, purple, and so on. The best part of joggers is that along with using them as your fitness partners, you can even pair them with casual outfits, so whether it is simple jeans and tee or a tracksuit while visiting a theme park!
6. Go-To Heels
I have many friends who don’t own even one single pair of heels. Either their heels are too short (almost negligible) or they only prefer high heels. Please buy shoes that have heels for fancier occasions. I get it, you’re not comfortable in heels; however, I’m sure you must have not tried all types of shoes. Don’t give up until you find a perfect pair. Trust me, you’re gonna feel so much better after you own one.
7. Traditional Footwear
Ahan! Being an Indian, you must already be owning a traditional pair that goes well with all the Indian outfits you have, so whether it’s a pretty lehenga or a simple straight kurti. If you still wear those ugly black sandals, then please, I urge you to head out for shopping now!
Finally, don’t forget sports or running shoes. A good pair of running shoes isn’t just for the gym, they’re great for morning walks, travel, or casual errands. Choose lightweight, breathable sneakers that provide proper support while still looking trendy enough to wear with your athleisure outfits.
By owning these seven essential shoe types, you’ll be ready for any occasion life throws your way. Each pair serves a purpose, blending fashion with functionality to help you build a wardrobe that’s stylish, practical, and timeless. Instead of filling your closet with endless options, invest in these staples to create a foundation that works for every mood, season, and outfit. Because when your shoes are right, everything else just falls into place. What’s your list of must-haves?
