CHEAP shoes can ruin the overall look of an entire outfit — even if the clothes you’re wearing are perfectly on point.

If you know which shoes to avoid buying, it can help you look a lot classier and more luxurious.


TikToker and elegance coach Karina has a few tips for people who want to make serious fashion changes.

Her number one rule is to avoid wearing knock-off designer brands.

She says: “Do not buy obvious designer dupes… The quality just is not there."

She describes two pairs of fake Hermès and Versace sandals she found at the mall with much disapproval in her voice.

Karina's second rule is to avoid shoes that have large rhinestones or beads made of plastic.

“No matter what the occasion, this is not a good look at all," she says.

“They, unfortunately,look very plastic and fake, and they don’t make your overall look presentable."

The heels she reveals on camera come with thick straps covered in giant gems.

Rhinestones and beads aren’t always off-limits though, she says.

“There are [certain] shoes that are so well-made with smaller rhinestones and look more high-end. I would opt to get those instead."

Another tip from Karina is to skip out on shoes made with a plastic material that is overly shiny.

She zooms in on two pairs of tan and pink heels that are gleaning in the light as they're being recorded.

She says: “I think you can easily examine shoes for this type of shine… The details do matter. Stay classy!"

Karina's comment sections on all three of her TikTok videos are filled with tons of people who don’t exactly agree with her opinions.

In regard to avoiding designer dupes, someone wrote: “Not everyone can afford designer shoes. Let people enjoy what they can afford if it makes them happy."
