What do you wear with red shoes this time of year?
Ideas from O's creative director, Adam Glassman:
  • Let them peek out from under jeans, or camel, black, or gray flannel pants.
  • Pair dress shoes with brown, gray, or burgundy tights. Avoid black hosiery—the contrast is too harsh.
  • Go bare-legged if it isn't freezing outside.
