From the Jaime creeper to unzipped, laced-up Freja, Alexander Wang is relentless is finding galvanic ways of reinventing the high-heeled ankle boot. This season, he streamlines the funk, recognizing that suede and patent leather is always a chic combination.
Cage booties? So last season! This super-strappy style may read like a sexed-up cage, but on the contrary. It still oozes sex appeal, but the weave-effect Andi has too much coverage to be considered cut out. Try it on and you’ll realize it’s a refreshing slashed-leather look going on. A splash of shine is initiated via the “tongue” – it weaves through the center, and glossy leather wraps around the ankle leading to a stylishly utilitarian tab. In any other color, these would lack their magic; olive equals a subtle touch of color (this one isn’t too military, either) yet it’s essentially a neutral.
Less hefty and far less massive than a typical chunky bootie, who knew Wang would be the go-to guy for boots to suit your dresses? On Net-a-Porter for $645.
Pair with: This pale olive hue looks lovely with brown, which tends to me a vexing color to compliment. 3.1 Phillip Lim’s taupe take, in his now-classic draped toga style lends silky ease to a structured shoe. On Net-a-Porter for $550.
