The barely-there heel is also a certified fashion crowd-favorite, with styles from Saint Laurent and Prada to Tory Burch and Reformation topping our fall wish lists. Just last week in Copenhagen, chic Danes slipped into their very own pairs with everything from cute cardigans and plain white tees to sleek leather midiskirts and the latest It bags. The result? Timeless transitional outfit combos we’re ready to repeat.
For everyday ease and elegance, start with classic black styles from Aeyde, Proenza Schouler, Cos, and Anine Bing. Pair them with a structured suit vest or sleek jean for a take on modern workwear. Meanwhile, red-hot heels from Larroudé and Neous or Manolo Blahnik’s chocolate brown pair pack a welcome punch of color. On a more textural note, python-printed pumps from J.Crew and Sam Edelman will you have you walking on the wild side.
Then, there’s Saint Laurent’s sultry satin style with hints of diamanté or Jimmy Choo’s crystal-embellished mesh pumps that transition from day-to-night seamlessly. Simply thrown on either with a go-to LBD or a going-out top and you’re instantly styled. As for what Vogue editors’ are eyeing themselves? Leopard-print pumps from Source Unknown, M.Gemi, and Isabel Marant all rank high on our wish lists, followed by Jacquemus’s mellow yellow pair and metallic must-haves from Jil Sander and Dries Van Noten that never cease to shine.
