First, pick a palette that won’t necessarily overpower the shoe. You don’t want to wear too many conflicting patterns or colors when your shoes are the main attraction. Pick a crisp white shirt like this one from Thakoon, which is elegant and fashionable, with its tie-front detail.

Pair your crisp white shirt with a comfortable pair of jeans. Choose a pair with an asymmetrical hem, which will give space for yours slides to be the focus.

Opt for a bag that is utilitarian but also has a bit of texture. But make sure it’s a neutral color like black, tan, or even white.
