She's chosen well.  White, a delicate ankle strap, peep toe... All accentuating her best features and making the shoes even more incredible.

What Shoes are Best for Summer at the Office?

Thankfully, the always on point Belle of Capitol Hill Style has some great suggestions for Summer Office Shoes.

While we're not a big fan of kitten heels (what's the point?) we do like her discussion of how to choose the right flats for summer office wear.

Note:  Flip flops are NOT shoes and should NOT be worn at the office.  Ever.  Never.

How about these wonderful, hot, white stilettos?

How to wear peep toe pumps?

So, you want to wear peep toe pumps? Well, you should know exactly how to do it.  This is Lexy in a brand new pair of peep toe pumps.  Note she's paid attention to her feet - they are cared for and pedicured and quite appealing in these classic peep toe pumps.  If you are going to wear peep toes, it should be warm out, your feet should be neat and clean, nails painted, and they should fit well.

Here's exactly how to wear the new pair of peep toe pumps you just bought:

Candel Pump by N.Y.L.A.  

 

Classic Style: Ultimately my favorite in this post, the Candel Pump is a classic T-strap Mary Jane pump.  1 ½ inch layered platform supports a 5 inch stiletto heel, both in a soft patent metallic hue.

 

Modern Twist:  This rounded peep toe heel takes it up a notch in style with its soft pony hair upper in an ever-trending animal print trimmed in patent.  N.Y.L.A. knows what it takes to turn heads your next night out.

Classic Style:  The Vivian offers a glitter capped almond toe giving you that 1920’s chic style.  With its moderate 4 ½ inch heel and ¾ inch hidden platform you will be sure to add some sparkle in your step.

 

Modern Twist:  Lulu Townsend’s mix of lace and glitter bring this classic style into current times.  The nude and black combination give a sexy heel that can easily be dressed up or down.

Michael Kors Shoe Porn

These "go-to" black peep toe heels from Michael Kors are truly a "must-own" for any occasion.  Perfect with jeans or the office or a night out. 

Casual Friday Shoes

So, Monday through Thursday I typically wear a suit.  And when I do, I wear black dress shoes -- the kind with laces!

But, today is Friday.  I'm wearing a shirt with a button-down collar and khakis.  And loafers. 

To be more specific, they are cordovan loafers -- Kenneth Cole "On Key"

They are comfortable, look great, and are still dressy enough for the business setting and/or after work activities on a Friday.  A good transitional shoe to take you into the weekend.

Guys: You need dress shoes

Yes, every man should have at least one good pair of BLACK dress shoes. 

Like these:

These are from Cole Haan -- the Cassady Captoe II, to be specific.  Leather.  Black.  Lace up.

Men's dress shoes have LACES.  Loafers or "slip-on" shoes do NOT go with your well-chosen, tailored suit.  Ever.  Grey trousers, blue sportcoat, tie and possibly slip-on leather shoes.  but NOT with a suit.

If you are escorting your girlfriend to a wedding, you NEED a pair of shoes like these.  This particular pair will run you between $100 and $140 depending on where you buy.  That's a great deal.  I tried a pair on last night and they are comfortable, classy, and will make any suit look great.  Cole Haan is a solid brand and they make quality products.  So, ditch the square-toed loafers you wore with a suit in college -- get these! Wear them with a suit to a wedding, a job interview, or anywhere else that calls for dress clothes.
