Should a woman's belt match her shoes or should the shoes match the pants?

I think the days of 'matchy matchy' are over. Long over. I say if you are dressing up, a classy look is same color shoes with pants. Partly because it looks nice, creates a line, and also it makes you look taller and leggier. When you break up your line with different colors, you look shorter and often heavier. When your 'lower half' is all one color, it creates a longer line and your legs look longer and 'cleaner'. I think a pair of- say- black pants, black shoes and a tan dressy top and tan belt look fantastic and timeless.

The belt should match the shoes. It looks better that way. But the shoes should also match the pants. And the pants should match the belt. Everything needs to flow together, or go together. And don't make it look like you've tried too hard.

(P.S. Don't listen to the people that said clashing is 'in'. Because it's never 'in' to clash your patterns or fabrics. They should always go together and look nice together)

Personally, I like the belt to match the shoes rather than the pants. Because altogether, you look very coordinated. Again, that's just my opinion. For a purse I'd get something that matched the shoes. ;)

Nah i don't think matching is that important...

But sometimes it looks good depending on the outfit

Eg: Long white top with tights/ or jeans

(brown belt, with brown boots) but boots over the pant.

And sweetie shoes should never match pants.... ;)

it all depends on the outfit. if you are wearing a black suit for ladies you should wear black belt. but jean and so on i think to much the shoe or outfit. it is part of the accessory and outfit. good luck : )

you dont have to match your shoes with any part of your outfit neccessarily. sometimes you end up looking to matchy.

You shouldn't match it's fashionable at the moment to clash! :D
