Ahh springtime is officially here! Pastels are in full bloom in our closets, but no matter how enthusiastic we are to show our appreciation for the warmer-weather months, there are just some outfits that demand less candy coating and more neutrality. Unfortunately, black pumps tend to feel a little heavy this time of year. What can we do, though? They’re staples! Well, it turns out all you need to update the classic style for spring is a sprinkling of cutouts. You get all of the wearability without any of the heft. See which ones I’m turning to as the temps keep rising…
