Legs For Miles
(Our Ode To The Stiletto)
Every woman knows that the key to clenching a truly sexy style is in the shoes! Nothing ruins the overall effect worse than shoes that don't match the color or just aren't the right look. But some shoes work for every occasion, whether it's the office or the martini bar...the stiletto!
Even though it's a podiatrist's nemesis, it's a fashionista's treasure! Nothing spruces up an outfit like these shoes. A basic pair of jeans and a white tee suddenly become urban chic with a pretty pair of stilettos. The corporate suit, made to discourage the imagination becomes the fashion version of "Candy Land".
Hands down, if you're looknig to get noticed, this is your shoe! Take a glance at your favorite watering hole and see which style of shoe tends to dominate. And it's not just ladies who love the stiletto. Men love to look at the optical ilusion of your legs going north for miles. Let's just say that these sepcial shoes highlight your assets and the gentlemen at work or at the lounge will definitely enjoy the view.
But stilettos aren't for the faint of heart. If the thought of being hoisted three plus inches in the air doesn't appeal to you, then maybe you should bypass them at the store. Likewise, if you make people hurt for you just by watching you walk in any type of heel or platform...please don't attempt this shoe!
Stilettos require poise and confidence to be successful. So, shaking knees, quivering ankles, and your body in anything other than a straight line are neither sexy or attractive. So which style is better, strappy or more understated?
Well, the office shouldn't be synonymous for after hours. We suggest a basic black enclosed stiletto that draws just enough attention to prove that you know how to dress. Avoid glitzy designs that offer excessive sparkle or too many colors. These might give the impression that you're more concerned with your appearance than you are about the quality of your work.
Any where else but the office, the sky's the limit. We have yet to see an overstated stiletto regardless of the color. It's a timeless shoe so feel free to go wild and buy one in ever color. For the beginner, definitely buy a pair with a basic black design. One enclosed for the office or more serious business and another that's strappy and slinky. This one can be dressed up or down depending on whether you wear it with jeans or something more dressy. As you become more comfortable with the stiletto, feel free to broaden your horizons.
Our Editor's Pick: the clear stiletto...if possible, snag a pair of lucite stilettos. It'll be Cinderella come true once you slip into these. Since clear material has a tendency to become dirty easily, these aren't everyday shoes. But for the special occasion, you'll be the envy of every lady in these.
The stiletto is the sexy item created just to alter your image in a stunning way. Whether you're at the office or the club, stilettos turn heads. So, go forth and buy a pair so that you can receive some much deserved attention!
