Shoes
鞋子


She says: Some might say that shoes are considered an accessory, but not this girl. If you ask me, your shoes make your outfit.

她觀點(diǎn)：一些人可能說(shuō)，鞋子屬于配件，不過(guò)不是這樣的。要我說(shuō)，你的鞋子成就你的衣服。

The other day, for example, a woman in the elevator was wearing a short dress, fishnet-patterned pantyhose and a headband with a huge flower on the side. The kicker was her shoes: four-inch, patent-leather, peep-toe platforms that tied around her ankle with satin ribbon.

有這么一天，比如說(shuō)，一個(gè)在電梯里的女人穿著一條短裙，魚(yú)網(wǎng)襪、一條一邊有朵大花的頭巾。這時(shí)候關(guān)鍵就是她的鞋子：四英寸的跟，黑色漆皮、細(xì)跟露趾、還有一根緞帶系在腳踝上。

With a few tweaks here and there, the outfit could have worked, but her shoes made her look like she belonged at a Halloween party or street corner instead of the office.

用用小手段，整個(gè)這套打扮還能像樣點(diǎn)，但是她的鞋子讓她看上去像要去參加萬(wàn)圣節(jié)派對(duì)或者站街角的，而不是去辦公室的。

Basic rule of thumb for shoes at work? Pick something practical over something cute, and be careful when it comes to flip-flops and sandals.

工作場(chǎng)合穿鞋的基本規(guī)則是什么呢？只穿實(shí)用的，不穿可愛(ài)的，如果要穿涼拖和涼鞋的時(shí)候要特別小心。

He says: Contrary to a woman's ensemble, shoes rarely make a man's outfit, but they can often break it. If you see a guy wearing a wrinkled suit and a tie with a big soup stain on it, you don't remember what shoes he wore. But if you see a guy wearing an impeccably tailored Italian suit with dirty tennis shoes, you won't be able to forget the footwear.

他觀點(diǎn)：和女人不一樣，男人的鞋子在整體著裝方面很少會(huì)成為重點(diǎn)，不過(guò)男人們還是可能會(huì)破壞規(guī)矩的。如果你看見(jiàn)一個(gè)人穿著皺皺巴巴的套裝、領(lǐng)帶上還有大大的湯漬，你肯定不記得他穿的是什么鞋。不過(guò)如果你看見(jiàn)一個(gè)男人穿著一套剪裁完美的意大利西裝，卻穿了一雙臟臟的網(wǎng)球鞋，你恐怕也很難忘記他的鞋子。

When going for a conservative, professional appearance, stick with basic black or brown dress shoes that are free of scuffs or caked mud. If your attire is more casual, just make sure your shoes are appropriate for that outfit, which might include funky tennis shoes for an employee at a laid-back marketing firm.

如果是需要保守的、職業(yè)的風(fēng)格，就穿底色是黑色或者棕色的禮服鞋吧，這樣的鞋子不怕踩、也不怕蹭上蛋糕什么的。如果你的打扮更休閑一點(diǎn)，確保鞋子和整體著裝風(fēng)格一致就可以了，像一個(gè)悠閑的市場(chǎng)營(yíng)銷(xiāo)公司職員就可以穿一雙時(shí)髦的網(wǎng)球鞋。

What matters is that the shoes match your overall image and that they look clean. Even the most relaxed boss doesn't want your work shoes to look like they've run a marathon.

重要的是鞋子要和整體風(fēng)格搭配，而且要干凈。就算是要求最低的老板也不會(huì)愿意看見(jiàn)你的工作鞋像剛跑完馬拉松的。
