Everybody talks about that little black dress. Perhaps even more important, is having a pair of little black shoes. We all know that black goes with everything. It's slimming. It's classic. And, it never goes out of style. So, here are just a few of the biggest and best reasons for owning a pair of (or, hopefully many pairs of) black shoes.
Black shoes never (and, I mean never) go out of style. If you go for a basic round or pointed black heel, the outfit options are pretty much endless. One huge benefit to owning a pair of fabulous, quality black heels is that you can couple them with just about any outfit, and feel sexy and finished. Plus, we all have those one or two splurge tops or dresses'full of funky prints and detailed touches. And, the best way to ensure proper attention is given to your special top, is with the perfectly complimentary pair of black shoes. For a completely classic black shoe (in the form of a fabulous, well-supported heel), check out Modern Vintage's Mary Anne Heels. These three-inch, Italian leather black shoes are the must-have staple in every woman's closet. For a kitten-heeled take on this black shoe, Torrid has a very affordable, stylish and clean Black Textured patent leather, one-and-a-half inch option.
If you aren't really a heels person, not to worry! There are certainly quite a few fabulous flat black shoes around. They are particularly useful in the office (this way you can wear those sea blue spring pants, or ever so hard to match off-brown linen pants to work, with comfort and class.) A really great pair of black shoes is Xhileration's Saniya Point Toe Flat. For just $16.99 you get a chic, classic look that will work with just about anything, but won't crunch your feet (or your budget!) Anne Klein offers several takes on the classic loafer in the black shoe department. Slightly more round-toed than Xhileration's shoe, if you'd like a little detailing, try the Ivanyi Dress Flat with Buckle. A clean and business-like look that can ease into lunches and after-work coffees, this black shoe will carry you through your day.
If you're looking for a weightier version of a black shoe, boots are a classic and comfortable way to go. Particularly popular in Fall, a boot take on your black shoe is a great way to keep feet warm, dry, and ever-so-stylish. When it comes to boots, we all know that Frye is king: well made, stylish, and lasting (both in style and quality.) For a beautiful, round-toed three and a half inch black shoe boot, Frye's Vicki tall boot is unbeatable. Or, if you're more of an edgy-short, slouchy boot kind of girl, Frye's Jenny Short Bootie is an absolute must have. For a flat black boot, it doesn't' get much better than the upper-calf length Tapeet by Vinci'a fabulous black shoe for comfort, with an equestrian-inspired design kick.
So, whether you're penchant is for heels or flats, boots, and black, there are many options for the ever-necessary wardrobe staple of black shoes. Don't sell yourself short: just because you need a pair of black shoes, does not mean you have to settle for anything less than the perfect pair. Peruse, choose, and cruise in your new black shoes!
