As a seasoned fashion editor, I can tell you with total confidence that the best way to bring your outfit from day to night is with the addition of a glitzy gold heel.
Just like its jewellery counterpart, gold shoes and accessories remain a timeless wardrobe addition, and whilst certain styles might ebb and flow from popularity, they’ll always come back stronger than before. Case in point: The glistening golden heel. A former mainstay in any ’90s girls wardrobe, the gold heel is back for its renaissance as the it-shoe to shop this party season.
Whilst silver trousers and metallic ballet flats have enjoyed a popular summer, as event season takes the helm the simple gold slipper is on track to be the star of the season. With the ability to whip a jeans and jumper pairing into a party-ready look, there’s no item my dressing-up wardrobe values more than gold heels in the winter.
Whilst you might worry about colour pairings, I find a gold heel in a light tone to be one of the most versatile items in my wardrobe, coming to life with an all-black outfit, but riffing off a colourful ensemble with as much ease as a black heel.
