One of our lovely readers Leah recently wrote in to ask us this:

I recently purchased some off white pumps. They have a stacked heel and are open-toed. I have attached a picture, however they are much more white then what they look like in the photo, I would call them more of a cream color. Anyway, I’m wearing them with my ivory wedding dress (don’t worry they look nice together). They are really comfortable and cute and I’m trying to figure out what other clothes I can get away with wearing them with. Any ideas?

Thanks, Leah

Great question Leah! We passed your question along to our friends over at Tog + Porter, an online personal styling service founded by our very own Ashley, to have their style gurus take a stab at it. Here’s what they had to say:

Here’s the deal with your favorite nude summer shoe — if it has enough coverage you can wear it straight through the warm days of early fall. Here are a few looks to give your summer shoe the fall makeover it deserves.

Pair with a skinny cargo and layer with a lightweight silk top for the warm afternoons and top it off with a tweed jacket for the chilly mornings.

For a casual fall night out, pair with a boldly colored top and bootcut denim for a crisp clean look that straddles the line between summer and fall.

Wear that romper until it can’t be worn anymore! Pair with a cute cropped jacket to keep it going strong into October.

Sport wool shorts, tights, top and sweater in a fully fall-inspired color palette. Go for a tight that’s not too opaque or dark or it will just make your shoes scream nude. Try a soft brown or textured tight for a more subdued look.
