Swap Out Your Jewelry For a Glimmering Gold Shoe

As fashion mavens, we’re prone to embellishment. A necklace here, an armful of bangles there—it all gets to be very jangly and distracting. For a refreshing take on bling, skip the baubles and slip into a pair of gilded shoes.

You don’t need metal and gems to look glammed up. Make your shoes the golden ticket to sartorial bliss.

Precious Kicks

For days when your athleisure needs something extra, finish it off with a pair of sneakers that makes a statement. Construct a blackout look with noir tapered sweatpants and a graphic black sweatshirt to look sleek and edgy, and then add a pair of shiny gold kicks for a thoughtful fashion touch that combines luxury and comfort.

Punk Attitude

Combat boots are a time-tested classic, but basic black just isn’t enough. Bring some shine to your bad-to-the-bone attitude and swap out your regular lace-ups for a pair of tough ankle boots in mirror-like gold. To preserve the rough-and-tumble aesthetic, allow your socks to peek out and wear tattered black denim shorts with a band tee and flannel.

Grecian Goddess

For the ultimate glamazon look, stick to classically draped silhouettes and don’t go overboard on accessories. A stunningly flowing one-shoulder gown needs little more elaboration than a minimalist clutch and a standout pair of shoes. Select a lace-up pair of heeled sandals in a champagne color for an elevated neutral addition to your ensemble.

Mix and Match

We understand if you still want to wear a few of your favorite gems alongside your gold shoes. When you do so, however, exercise caution—old rules regarding matching your metals no longer apply. Mixing metallic tones is a fresh way to do shine, so slide on a silver cuff or a pewter knuckle ring as you head out the door in your twinkle-toed shoes.

There’s no need to over-accessorize when your shoes are shiny. Glam up your look with glitzy golden footwear.

Enter the gilded age shoes-first.
