Chic & Sophisticated: Red Carpet Worthy Shoes To Try

 

{My Favorite Go-To Shoe}

 

Right now, we're in the midst of Red Carpet Season - such a fun time of the year! Every few weeks, celebrities are arriving in gorgeous gowns, dripping in diamonds and showing off their svelte figures. But let's talk about the real star here - shoes!

 

Even though awards season is mostly about the dress - shoes can be a key part of one's overall outfit. Most of the time they stay hidden, but the occasional flash of heel underneath is enough to get your engine revved. Kind of like the Mazda CX-9. The main focus of the car is the body style - sophisticated and polished. But the bells and whistles - like shining chrome paneling or a wide, smooth fender - can help take the design to the next level. It's a double dose of practicality and chicness that proves this car is artfully crafted yet utilitarian.

 

So let's take a look at some of this year's best Red Carpet shoes and how you can add them to your wardrobe

We've been seeing a ton of pointy toe pumps this season and I can't get enough of them! There's something about the curve of a 4 inch heel paired with the sharp severe toe. It's sophisticated, sleek and the perfect short or sheer dress finish. Try yours with a pair of dark skinnies and a tailored blazer - sexy elegance.

Thank goodness for color! It's the perfect pop of pizazz that upgrades any outfit instantly. These ladies stuck to basic silhouettes keeping it simple yet stylish. Have an upcoming event or wedding on the calendar? Try this shoe to give your ensemble a big boost.

Who doesn't love a hint of skin? I'm pretty sure everyone! Which is why the peep toe pump is the perfect mix of playful ladylike charm. Whether it's details are crystal embellishments, bow ties or a simplistic cut out, these feminine shoes are best suited with fun dresses and bouncy skirts.

We all have a favorite pair of black shoes (or 2... or 3) So why not elevate your next LBS (little black shoe) and pick a set that has super unique details. Crystal beads give lend a sparkling touch of bling while lace up backs or laser cutouts offer a punch of edge. This is one shoe that can truly go with any outfit, but you can never go wrong pairing it with your LBD.
