Hi Cheery friends,
Tomorrow is finally election day! The constant news cycle, the debates and the overwhelming sense of uncertainty makes it hard to focus on anything else. I guess we will just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. In the meantime, I wanted to share with you how to style moccasins for women. To be honest, I like to avoid flats as much as possible as I want to look taller than 5’1 , but these ladies moccasins were just so irresistible, and I thought why not try styling them and see what I come up with. The one thing that no one can deny is how moccasins make everything look more formal. You could be in pajamas , but with these shoes on, you are a style icon(kidding). Seriously though, they deliver casual and elegance at the same time.
A lot of people think that loafers and moccasins are the same, but they are not. Yes, they are both slip on shoes but their construction and design are very different. Loafers typically have a stiff sole which provides more structure to the shoe and support to the wearer. Their heel is usually elevated and the toe can be round or square in design. Moccasins on the other hand have a flexible sole and are made from soft leather with a uniform flat sole.
How to Style Moccasins for Women
Stripes are always in no matter the season and can instantly upgrade an outfit, depending on how you style it. I found this classy vertically striped shirt for women and thought, I need to pair this with my button leggings and the tan moccasins. I wanted a look that was about comfort, cute and well put together. I think this look checked all those boxes:) I just love how vertical black and white stripes make a huge statement but still easily paired with black leggings and flats. To achieve this look, you can roll up your sleeves if you want a laid back vibe. Since its fall and a bit brisk, I chose to leave the sleeves intact. You want to tuck the blouse slightly to get a casual look. By the way, you can also untuck and it is a look that works. Finish off with a simple crossbody bag in black or the color of the shoes. To accessorize, you can add a pendant necklace to be the focal point of the v-neck striped blouse. Gold tone jewelry really contrasts well. I chose to wear stud earrings and a bulky ring for accessories. Since the black leggings have gold tone buttons, I decided to go with minimal jewelry and accessories.
It is fall and so we have to add outerwear to this outfit. My trusty black leather jacket works well for this look. The jacket not only keeps you warm but takes this look to a whole new level. It’s giving cool-girl vibes but also a little bit of touch-chic. I think a leather jacket in the color of the moccasins would also create a beautiful fall outfit!
So why does pairing leggings with stripes and moccasins work? To start, the vertical stripes of the the blouse pull you in visually. The soft and cozy leggings add a laid back vibe and when you add these tan moccasins, you end up with a look that works for the office or for brunch.
