Do pointy/pointed pumps go with every outfit?

Question

Just wondering if pointy pumps will go with everything - I'm especially interested in knowing whether they will go with every type of skirt shape and dress (i.e. pencil/a line/flowing skirts, babydoll, slim, a-line, halter, gown length dresses).
Anything that you shouldn't wear pointed pumps with?

I want to get a pair of solid red shoes - wondering what type of shoe is most versatile (to go with pants, different black dresses, etc). Debating on getting red pointed pumps or maybe dress sandals instead.

thanks for the input

for those who do not recommend getting pointed red pumps, what are the most versatile style to get instead?

Answer 1

From experience, the pointed toe shoes only look good with long pants, preferably ones that already cover most of the shoe! If you wear shoes that are the same color as the pants, they make your legs look longer. I think the bright red ones will be a nice contrast to monocolors, esp if you also coordinate with a belt or handbag.

Answer 2

No offense, but I hate those shoes! They're so ugly! Why would anyone want to wear them? I've seen and heard some really pretty, nicely dressed women clomping around in those horrifyingly ugly shoes. The only way you can get your foot in one is to have the whole front end of the shoe out past the end of your toes. It's like pointy clown shoes. I just don't get it. Yuck!

Answer 3

Pointy pumps are so hot! they go with anything. Red ones with a small belt on it are even better!

Answer 4

pointed shoes are not in this coming fall. flats in peep toe or round toe are what is in. sometimes pointed shoes are too much with a pencil skirt...looks a little 80's.

Answer 5

I think they do. For Fall get the pumps!

Answer 6

Not with tennis clothes or golf attire.

Answer 7

Some people say yes, I say no. They just don't look right!
