My trendar (aka, trend radar) is going off like crazy! While casually flipping through a style magazine, the trendar started going off so loudly in my head that it inspired a post! It was like red and white lights with the siren noises and all. These pointy black pumps are everywhere! Here’s the good news: the trend is a classic. Ok wait, maybe that makes this a wardrobe staple and essentially not a trend. Oh, but who cares -ha! And, they are being worn with everything, even jeans and a t-shirt! They are versatile, and they will stand the test of time. That’s a double plus for a trend!
What a perfect way to dress up your jeans for an “effortlessly put together” look. Not to mention, they are the perfect shoe for a cocktail dress. There’s something about the pointed toe and how it just covers the toes that makes these shoes so sophisticated. You know when I’ll be wearing these? Anytime I need to be a little dressy.
I have a satin pair of black pumps that I bought many years ago, and I still wear them, but I just purchased a pair of black suede pumps. I like the matte look of suede. I like the way it looks with leather, especially leather leggings. It’s a good juxtaposition. But, I also like the way suede looks with black opaque tights. I wore my black suede wedges all the time last year for these very reasons.
Here are some great options:
Jessica Simpson $78.95, Sam Edelman $129.95
J. Crew $169.99 These are the ones I have, are you surprised? -ha!,
Kate Spade $196.80
If I wanted to splurge…
Manolo Blahnik $695.00 Love the open sides on this pair , Prada $720 Love the metal heel, Monolo Blahnik $595
Just in case you love the trend but can’t wear a high heel.
YES!! My Louboutins have been waiting patiently in the closet for this classic “trend” to come back.
Any recommendations on the most comfortable black pump? Love the look but can’t stand in them for long.
I’m with Andrea! I have some gorgeous Calvin Klein’s but they are far from comfy!
I will be on the look out for a super comfy pair. If I find them, I’ll post them.
Yayy!
Yayyyy!!
Carly. I rarely wear heels, like VERY rarely. BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I NEED A PAIR OF NEW ONES IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! This post makes me want a pair of heels as soon as freaking possible! Well done!
I am no fashion expert, but I have to say that Cole Haan and Nike joined forces to make some fashionably comfortable pumps. As a physical therapist, I know the pointy toes can wreck havoc on our feet, yet I’m even tempted to invest in a good pair if this trend recycles !
I bought the Jessica Simpson ones in Burnt Umber (hook ’em!). They are comfy and make my legs look long a lean (I’m 5″2). I also bought the Sam Edelman’s in black. They are also comfy and classic with a fun trendy spin to it. I told my salesperson at Nordstrom’s in the Galleria that Carly sent me. 🙂
Cathleen, I love it!
