Get Your Pointed Shoes On!

August 20, 2010

Tweet

It’s been years since I last wore my pointed toe shoes, but I think it’s finally time to pull those babies out and give them some TLC. The pointed toe style was all over the Fall 2010 runway and made an appearance not only on pumps and sandals, but also boots, ballet flats and brogues. This particular style is super easy to wear and looks good paired with almost everything. A basic pair of pointed toe pumps can go with both skinny and flared jeans, as well as straight-legged trousers. You can also pair them up with knee-length pencil skirts and work dresses for that perfect business-chic look. My favorite way of styling these shoes though is to wear them with shorter hemlines and with flowy, feminine silhouettes, where the sharpness of the shoe can get balanced out. Take a look at some of my favorite styles on the runway.

In Numerical Order: Dolce and Gabbana Fall 2010, Lanvin Fall 2010, Giorgio Armani Fall 2010, Valentino Fall 2010, Giorgio Armani Fall 2010, Louis Vuitton Fall 2010

The Armani and Valentino ones are so cute, aren’t they? I also like the ones from Louis Vuitton, particularly because I’m really picky when it comes to these shoes. I hate the super pointy, elongated kinds (those look evil, don’t they?) and if you’re anything like me, then getting something with a bow or other embellishments is perfect since it breaks the length up. Another thing I like about the Louis Vuitton ones is that it has a block heel. If you have an aversion towards the sharpness of this particular style, then getting the pointed toe with block heel combination is ideal. Also, to avoid looking like an old lady, try to stay away from slingbacks and kitten heels; those are unflattering on most people. Instead, get something with a more youthful vibe, like an ankle strap or a t-strap, where the focal point is not just the front of the shoe but your ankles, as well.

Perhaps, the  easiest way to incorporate this style in your wardrobe is to get yourself a pair of pointed platform pumps á la Victoria Beckham. These shoes are super versatile and the platform balances the pointy-ness of the shoe out, making it extremely subtle. Here are a few affordable options.

In Numerical Order: Miss Sixty Sasha Platform Pumps, GUESS Amazed Platform Pumps in Grey Suede, Miss Sixty Sakura2 Platform Pumps, ASOS PRIMAVERA Suede Platform Court Shoe, Steve Madden Darrina Platform Pumps, GUESS Amazed Platform Pumps in Red Suede

So, how do you feel about this particular style – are they a do, or a don’t for you? Like always, I’d love to hear back from you! 🙂

xoxo,

SK

    Loved no. 4 from both the collages. In fact, business guys these days also prefer pointed black or dark brown shoes. Its cool and disciplined look it gives.

        Ya, that no.4 is so so sexy n at the same time descent.
        yes, I meant men.

        Yes, Dipti is right on “intimidating” point.
        when I was kid I used to think, boss kisi ladki ne
        agar aise he laath maar di toh :O n one always know
        where that laath will go. It was a thought that time..now
        all is well. I like girls wearing them.
        🙂

    Oh! I love the No.1 D&G ones … Wore a lot of pointed toe in early 20’s … not I am getting out of it … I thnk I have only a pair or two now [minus the shoes left back home, don’t remember them too well :P] … from the second collage I can safely say I have something similar to each one of them! Phew! So no shoe envy here … and I won’t be going shoe shopping this weekend! Yay! 😛

    Also, I have this terrible rash on my feet, which I am guessing is via trying a new pair of shoes few days back. And now I have to be in flats and open shoes with medicated creme and what not. It’s been itching and eating my feet alive for last 2 days! Agrhh!!!

    i’ve never worn one.. yes, never

    but i would like to get one for myself sometime..

    it gives a very…i don’t know…the woman looks intimidating wearing these. intimidating and sexy. unapproachable? i don’t know. the pointed factor.

    they all look very uncomfortable

      If you wear them a lot you’ll stop having any sensation and your feet will become numb..I’m pretty convinced that’s what happened with Victoria Beckham! 😉

    I have a pair of black pointies reserved for formal attires. Even though these look tres chic and classy, they can potentially kill the feet by squashing the toes. Loving the LoiusV ones at 6. The heel is such a refreshing change!

    I love pointy shoes – they look very chic and polished when paired with tailored trousers. I love both the red shoes and what Marc did for LV..I live in heels so these both are must for fall/winter.. I do have pointy shoes from last season but this season I want something in metallics and jewel tones..

    I don’t like the very very pointed ones but other than that, I’m in! Love them all! Just these basic beauties can so much as chic (v.) the look! 🙂

    Gosh, I love these particular type of shoes. I’ve always been a fan of heels, though I’m taller than the average Singaporean, and my favourite type of shoes to wear when I’m out, would be these pointed heels! Great post, and I agree, the LV shoes you posted are GORGEOUS(:

    I'm totally in love with the LV…. they are all lovely but the LV are classy. It should be  mandatory that you carry a pair of comfy flats when rocking these. When worn constantly they are killer on the foot bones, creates bunions by forcing the toes inwards… Classy chic but be warned!!!
