Im going to a private school next year for the first time, and i have to wear uniforms which is basicly a skirt and a collored shirt. We have to have our socks showing, but not like all the way to our knees. My question is, what do people usually wear for shoes?! I wanted to just wear flats, but socks with them would look pretty weird. And i dont want to wear tennis shoes because that would look ugly. They say the color has to be black brown white or blue... and i have no idea what people wear! any help!? I start school Monday.

Never wear shoes with your heel showing, don't wear heels, and no flip flops (sadly). You can wear flats, but you MUST wear socks, which means you might want to buy like Vans or something. just try to keep them low key. My school says that i have to wear school color shoes, but no one does in my school. I don't know if thats the same for yours, you should go to the school and ask. You can wear regular tennis shoes. Just wear regular shoes you'd wear at a public school. Nike, Adidas, K-Swiss, Vans, Keds. Just don't wear flashy shoes, no open toe shoes. [ amasparks's advice column | Ask amasparks A Question ]

You could look online for cute sneakers too, which would be an added plus since they'd be comfortable. Puma has cute sneakers. Vans slip-ons would be good too.
During the winter in my school (I got to a private school too so our uniforms are basically the same) we always wore Uggs with our uniforms so people still do that. (I saw one of the people below me mentioned Uggs) So Uggs are a good possibility. You could even wear the crocheted ones depending on where you live since the classic short sheepskin boot might be too heavy or warm.
If I were you I'd go with sneakers like the Vans slip-ons, or even regular sneakers and the Uggs. They'd probably be more comfortable through out the day. [ simplicityx's advice column | Ask simplicityx A Question ]

look at your school handbook or wherever they put the dress code rules...any other specifications about shoes?
When i was at mine, we HAD to wear gym shoes.. i went to all girls so no one really cared if it looked ugly or whatever. you could wear very feminine sneakers [ralph lauren had some a few years back...idk if you've seen those]. sneakers don't look bad with socks. a lot of people i know wear calf-high socks for fun or seasonal socks [the ones with santa on them, etc]. if you can, ask other people going/that already go to that school what shoes hey are wearing. get a facebook and add a random person [make a friend!] and just ask them. they probably know best what the trends are there. oh, another possibility is uggs. you could always wear those with knee high sockes. [they're still in style in some places.] if you need anything else, let me know. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
