"Hello, this is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting in Coral Gables, Florida. In this clip, I'm going to talk about how to choose the right shoes. Well, that's a very general statement right there, but what you need to know is that what shoes you're supposed to wear when you're wearing a suit or when you're not wearing a suit but you're still wearing slacks or jeans. So there's two basics here. You can either wear a shoe that is completely flat on the front. You can absolutely wear this with suits whenever you have a leather bottom right here and you want to look a little more modern or kind of, like, updated look. A more classic look with suits, it would be laces and a little pointy type of shoe, kind of like Oxford-looking. Of course, this is a more classic shoe that will go only for suits. That's what I would recommend. Then you have the ones that are a little more square here. These type of shoes should only be worn with jeans, no slacks whatsoever. And if you are wearing slacks and you want to look a little more modern and classy, this type of shoes is really nice. It's not leather, but this is all soft over here and it's not completely square and not completely pointy. Once again, this is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting."
