Can BCBG Shoes Compliment Anyone?
If you’re looking for a more contemporary styled shoe for today’s younger crowd then possibly BCBG Shoes may have what you need.
Shoes in the BCBG collection are absolutely targeted towards a younger cool indie crowd who thrives for attention and Max Azria serves it up best. Take note, this is not your mom’s shoe.
The shoes have a more European style and elegance and compliments more chic ensembles than the toned-down everyday style. Most of the collection does not fit together well with the office conservative wear and is typically branded for the up-to-the-minute club and bar scene.
Made hot by the Hollywood and NYC Soho crowd but comes across as a super strong shoe that can’t be worn by simply anyone. This entire collection stands out and you’ll certainly be noticed and remembered.
I must say you either love or despise BCGB shoes; there really isn’t any in between.
What I love about BCBG Shoes:
· Young, Hot and stylish and shows off a lot of attitude.
· If you are searching for that “look at those shoes…I wonder where she got those from?” then BCBG brand will be perfect for you.
What I don’t like about BCBG Shoes:
· Awfully little vibrant colors infused in the whole collection (the 2010 Paris collection provides a few colorful additions). Sure, Black, Tan and Grey will go with anything but I crave much more spice in my wardrobe.
· The majority of shoes have that funky toned-up vibe leaving me ready to party. Not sure if that is bad or good?
The Favorite Picks out of All BCBG Shoes:
· Women’s Lark 1 Pump in Azalea Pink; it’s a unusual find in a collection or neutral colors but after hunting and searching I discovered this gorgeous pink color that just popped! Can you imagine wearing this out at night?
· The Colly Bootie in Black – a shoe-bootie that has fabulous feminine feel created just for the modern woman. Can be paired perfectly with a pantsuit or a cute little black dress.
But like I said, these shoes are targeted towards a specific style of woman. Now I don’t believe you can provide a great review simpily by looking at a shoe; you have got to go out and wear it, so I did;
The few BCBG shoes that I tried out were cut really narrow so it won’t fit just any foot. If you typically wear a size 7, get a size 7.5; As soon as I tried on the shoe all eyes were on my feet. It truly has a magnetism all its own. I can not imagine how one would feel wearing these shoes to an event – it would be the thing to talk about all night; “where’d you get them”; “how much did they cost”;
Does anybody ever ask about how a shoe feels? Or does it really matter?
