The easiest way to transform the simplest outfit…

...add a pair of beautiful statement shoes. Whatever your preference: high and strappy; flat with buckles; block heels with ankle straps; velvet or suede there has never been so much choice. Here are some of my favourites together with outfit ideas on how to wear them.

Lace-up shoes look amazing with a casual outfit. My favourite way to wear these is with jeans, white shirt and leather jacket or suit jacket – stunning.

Velvet is such a luxurious fabric. Try these with a pleated silk skirt and oversized knitwear – so cool and elegant.

This mule style would work beautifully with culottes. They balance out the wide shape and elongate the leg. Simply add a great silk shirt or fitted jumper.

This classic Mary Jane style has been updated this year with multiple buckle straps. Wear with a beautiful cigarette trouser suit to add a cool, edgy twist.

Sometimes it’s good to mix things up. Rather than wearing strappy heels with a cocktail dress try a great pair of statement flats. These versions would give effortless glamour (not to mention comfort) worn with a little black dress or evening skirt.

Have a great week-end and feel free to share this post.
