Metallic Shoes for Fall: Silver Linings Playbook

With fashion, you really do need a playbook, and for the fall season, mine always includes gorgeous metallics. Obviously it’s not a look you can wear head to toe (you don’t want to walk around looking like a suit of armor!). That’s the beauty of it, though – a little sparkle goes a long way. And don’t reserve metallics solely for evening events. Shoes like these offer versatility and verve all day long.

Oscar de la Renta Metallic Polished-Leather and Suede Pumps: You have to try these on to see the full effect. With the metallic leather and pointed toe, they’re even sexier than you’d expect. On NET-A-PORTER for $775.

Saint Laurent Cap Toe Janis: The Janis is a basic (nothing wrong with that!), but it comes in so many different variations. I’m loving this snakeskin-stamped silver. At Barneys New York for $825.

Manolo Blahnik Two-Tone Tayler: Manolo is cool again thanks to the comeback of the pump. And this one won’t just get you through fall – it’ll be a hit at holiday parties, too! Exclusively at Barneys New York for $695.

Gianvito Rossi Metallic Raised-Back Pump: Get an edge on the competition with this flared Rossi. Shirts have collars – why not shoes?? At Bergdorf Goodman for $795.

Reed Krakoff Solar Metallic Snake & Mesh Sandal: My money is on this one (or rather, it’s going to this one!). Metallic, mesh, snake…the list of flattering look-at-me features goes on and on. At Bergdorf Goodman for $625.
