Tuesday's top tips: say no more to basic black heels

Shoesday Tuesday

1/9

When it comes to shoes, many will opt for a pair in black. After all, black is definitely a safe and versatile colour — and we bet you’d already have more than one pair sitting right in your closet by now. But, this season, instead of spiraling down into the abyss of black shoes, we recommend for you to opt for some kicks that give you more sass instead. 

Scroll through for some of our top designer picks.
