Q&A: STYLE
Q: I have a pair of plum-colored tights I plan to wear with a charcoal-gray skirt and pale gray sweater. Should my shoes match the color of the tights or the clothing?
A: Your shoes could match either - or neither. There is no hard-and-fast rule. You could go conservative with black shoes, have fun with a bold, bright color such as red, or try one of the many metallics, such as pewter or bronze.
Try different combinations. Choose the one you find most appealing.
