We all know Cinderella’s classic story. It only took a pair of shoes to completely change her life forever. From being a lowly servant girl to becoming a princess overnight — All thanks to her magical glass slippers.

Now, not everyone has the luxury of having a fairy Godmother or magical glass slippers as Cinderella did, but that doesn’t mean that shoes can’t become a symbol of transformation. With the right kind of shoes, any girl can conquer the world!

Here are 5 shoe styles every woman should have.

1. Flats

Flats are your go-to shoes when you want to look ladylike yet casual at the same time. They give off that simple yet polished look that makes an outfit effortlessly chic. Try pairing them with a pleated skirt or a shift dress for that ultra-feminine feel.

2. Sandals

Sandals are the much cooler alternatives to flip flops. They’re comfortable and great for when you’re on-the-go. They also give off that instant boho-chic vibe. Opt for a pair with straps, studs, or embellished beads to accentuate your look.

3. Sneakers

Having a pair of sneakers in your closet is a great investment. Sneakers add just the right amount of edge to your outfit as well as a touch of masculinity to your look. May it be high-cut or low-cut, sneakers and jeans go together like bread and butter.

4. Pumps

Every woman should own at least one pair of pumps. Black pumps are like the LBD (Little Black Dress) of footwear. They will never let you down — whether you use it for work or fun night outs with friends. Pumps are a great all-around pair to own and will never go out of style.

5. Boots

Boots are not just reserved for the cold weather. They come in all sorts of different colors, prints, and styles, making them versatile and wearable all-year round. They’re not only fashionable, but practical too. Try pairing them with skinny jeans or a midi skirt to add sophistication to your look.
