Do you sometimes wonder how many shoes you should have? Do you have twenty-five pairs of shoes in your closet, when you only wear five regularly? Maybe it is time for you to figure out how many pairs of shoes you actually need. This post will tell you the main shoes you should have in your closet and then you can decide for yourself which of the other pairs of shoes in your closet you actually need.

Casual sneakers are so important! I wear mine three to four times a week and they are super comfortable. Sneakers come in so many styles that you are sure to find a pair (or two!) that you like. White is always a good choice because it matches with everything even though they do get dirty quickly.

The shoes in the picture above are my white Converse and they have lasted for around three years now and they are not too dirty, so I am pretty happy about that. :)

Casual sneakers are great to have in your closet because you can just throw them on and go wherever you need to.

Sandals are always a good idea to have. When you are going to the pool, you won't want to ruin another pair of your shoes. I don't wear my sandals regularly, but it is all up to you how much you like to wear sandals.

The pair in the picture cost around ten dollars! You can buy a chic pair of sandals for cheap and then you will have something to wear to the pool and to the beach. :)

What can I say? I had to add boots to this list! You can dress up or down any pair of boots so that they are suitable for almost anything. While it is up to you how many pairs of boots you buy, I would recommend that you don't buy too many in the same style. Do you really need five pairs of ankle boots?

The ankle boots in the picture above have lasted for a long time. (I got them a little bit after my Converse in case you are wondering.) I love wearing them because they dress up every outfit I wear.

Something else you can do is have one pair of dressier boots and one pair of more casual boots. I also have a pair of combat boots that are my more casual boots.

Flats are great because you can wear them for every day and for dressy occasions. They are a classic wardrobe staple and I think they are super chic. :)

Flats can be worn for school, to the office, grocery shopping, and the list goes on. They make your outfit a little bit dressier so if you want to take your outfit up a notch, then just slip on a pair.

Plus, did I mention how many styles flats come in? You can buy flats in so many colors and styles so just pick a design you like and buy them. Make sure they are comfortable though. You don't want to buy a pair of flats that make your heels hurt.

Flats are also relatively cheap so you can buy a pair without breaking the bank. 

Last but not least on this list is a pair of heels. High heels are perfect for dressy occasions, and they make you a little bit taller too. They come in many styles, and you can pick the heel height and type and how comfortable they are. Comfortability (Is that even a word?) is a big factor in which shoes you should buy!

Plus look at how cute the box is for the pair of heels I bought. (This should not factor into which pair of shoes you should buy.) :)

But you still have to admit that the box is pretty cute!

The temperature you live in should also play into what pair of shoes you buy. If you live somewhere where it is cold almost the entire year, then a pair of sandals are not going to be a good idea.

So which shoe styles are you favorite? Do you love wearing boots and heels or are you more of a sneaker and sandal type of person?

Either way, it is always good to have something perfect for every occasion. If you only wear sandals, then buy a pair of high heeled sandals for your high heels. You can do the same for boots too.
