The ingredients of delicate toe straps, a thick, no-messing-around snap ankle strap, and a chunky heel all make for major hotness. There’s a bit of feminine and a lot of tough chick – which is how we all like to think of ourselves, right? Givenchy‘s platform has intelligence without a hint of sobriety. Top-notch stitching that draws your eye in, the chicest toe thong I’ve ever seen, and a sole that will make it easy for you to hold your ground, literally and figuratively. With unusual angularity and this will give you that extra-confident strut no matter what room you’re entering. (Plus, you get the height of a five-incher with a nice 2″ knocked off, thanks to that liberal platform.) And with versatile style and a sturdy foundation, you will be taking that strut often. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $1,170.
Pair with: Keep it in the family with Givenchy’s “Pexi” bag – a little leopard goes a long way – and requires confidence. Perfect for shoes that make you hold your head high and keep you moving for miles. Givenchy “Pexi” Evening Bag, $1,985.
