Long sleeve dresses are universally flattering. They accentuate what is good about a woman’s body and downplay the areas where we want to call less attention. They do this by creating a column that draws the eyes up and down, thus elongating the body. Dresses are comfortable and can be worn with confidence through the day and into the evening.
The downside is that long sleeved dresses don’t stand on their own so well. Long sleeve dresses can be quite boring. That is why it is important to notch up the look with a dramatic shoe such as a strappy sandal in a bright color or print; architectural or chunky jewelry; or a chic handbag.
The Pouch Sandal from Van Eli is the perfect balance of dramatic chic. It is a stylish study in contrasts: its bold printed hair calf vamp and quarter strap lead the look with attitude, while its coordinating rich suede heel and cup offer a sultry finish. Together, they create one completely luxurious shoe.
