• Faux patent leather upper with a high-shine finish that catches the light with every step
• Slim ankle strap with a buckle fastening that wraps neatly around the ankle for a secure, barely-there feel
• Squared-off open toe - a detail that keeps the silhouette feeling current rather than classic
• Fluted stiletto heel sitting between 7 and 9cm, giving genuine height without the bulk of a platform
• Minimalist two-piece construction - a single toe band and ankle strap - that leaves the leg looking long and uninterrupted

These sandals work hardest when the rest of the outfit stays out of their way. A sleek mini dress or a satin slip skirt lets the patent finish and the clean lines do the talking. The squared toe and slender heel sit right at the intersection of polished and night-out-ready, so they transition easily from a pre-drinks look to the dancefloor without missing a beat. Because the strapping is so minimal, they also pair well with wide-leg trousers - the toe just peeking out underneath adds a sharp finish that chunkier heels never quite manage. Stack a couple of fine anklet chains above the strap for extra detail, or let the shoe stand alone. Either way, the high-gloss surface does enough on its own. A solid addition to a going-out rotation that already has the block heels covered.
