At Empire Textiles, we’re very aware that for a lot of women, finding the right shoes and bag to match an outfit can be tricky. So why not start with a unique pair of shoes and match your clothing to go with it? We’ve come up with some outfits and occasions that are just crying out for you to wear West African footwear.

 

Jeans and shoes

Especially stylish if you’re wearing black jeans and a dark top, your shoes add a pop of colour without taking away from the rest of your outfit. Take a look at the Bruno Giordano range!

 

Long skirts

Evenings

If you’re already wearing bright West African prints, you might want a pair of shoes that complement the rest of your outfit rather than complete it – so you might want to opt for heels in a block colour like grey or black.

 

 

Summer holidays

Try our Bellissimo range for low-heeled, open-toed shoes in a variety of colours that will match your evening wear; they’re perfect for heading out to dinner or sipping cocktails!
