Sandals take a backseat: It's the heel style that elevates halter dresses to an elegant level
In the bustling city of New York, fashion is a form of expression that Kerane Marcellus, a New York-based writer, encourages everyone to take part in. Recently, a new trend has emerged that is making basic outfits feel fresh and chic - the classic black shoe trend.
Black pumps, a wardrobe staple, are being worn for various events like nights out, dinners, or any event with a trend-forward halter dress. They are also being paired with jeans and white tees to add an element of sophistication to casual outfits.
When the shoe colour isn't obvious, this is the one fashion people always choose. Black pumps offer a timeless, elegant silhouette that elongates the leg and pairs well with formal or semi-formal halter dresses, such as the ELLIATT Tuning Gown or a textured halter maxi dress. For versatility and comfort without losing elegance, black block heels with straps or rhinestone details can elevate the look while keeping it modern and chic.
Suede or patent leather finishes add texture and shine, enhancing the overall outfit sophistication. Suede kitten mules or slingbacks in black can offer a refined and slightly more subdued choice for daytime or evening events. The key is to keep the shoe style clean and avoid overly bulky designs to maintain the dress’s sleek neckline appearance. Pair with minimalistic jewelry and a clutch for a polished finish.
Recently, Molly Gordon, an actress known for her roles in shows like Booksmart and Palm Springs, was seen wearing a Loewe Draped Silk-Blend Maxi Dress on Late Night with Seth Meyers. She paired her dress with Toy Leather Drop Stiletto Pumps from Loewe, adding an air of elegance to her look. The Toy Leather Drop Stiletto Pumps retail for $1100, making them a luxury addition to any wardrobe.
For those looking for a more affordable option, I Sent My Aunt These On-Sale Anthropologie Bags to Carry Through the End of Summer. These bags offer a stylish and practical solution for carrying essentials while keeping up with the latest fashion trends.
In summary, a pair of classic black stiletto pumps or elegant black block heel sandals with simple but refined details are ideal to wear with halter dresses to achieve a chic and elegant look. When paired with jeans and a white tee, they can make basic outfits feel fresh and stylish. Whether you're attending a formal event or going out for a casual dinner, black pumps are a versatile and timeless choice that will never go out of style.
