1920 shoes as a accessory

Shoes had become an accessory item once the over-the-knee, fashionable "Flapper" dress permitted more visibility. Woman began to select their footwear more seriously, according to style and complimentary value. Heels were over 2 inches high and ankle strap button shoes called Mary Janes were in style. T bar shoes or others with buckles and bows made attention-grabbing fashion statements along with sequin or diamante trims that were customary. Did you know if you match you pantyhose or tights to your shoes it will make you legs look thinner? Match both with your skirt and you will look thinner from the waist down. Positively don't wear light colored nylons with dark skirts and shoes!
