Bottega Veneta quilted leather mules, US$850 (S$1,206.18) from Net-a-Porter

1/10

We can’t do a curation of square toe shoes without including Bottega Veneta. Since its inception, Lee has created other designs ranging from strappy sandals to mules and flats. One of our favourites is this playful quilted leather design that has been all the rage among the street style influencers.

Much like the LBD or the perennial blazer, black strappy sandals are another essential you need to have in your wardrobe. Its versatile yet sexy silhouette means you can dress it up for work with a pantsuit or with a sundress for the weekends.

Weva sandals, $59.90 from Play-mei

Play-mei is a Singaporean label that prides itself on unique designs made with hand-beading and embroidery. These block heels are (no surprise there) made with the same techniques featuring hand-sewn black beads and sequins.

If Bottega Veneta is currently an aspirational brand you’re working hard towards, opt for Zara first. The label has dropped a series of square toe designs that are eerily similar to Lee’s creations, including these thong slippers-inspired heels.

Created in collaboration with Deveaux, these leather mules would be a hit among those who fancy a vintage, boho vibe. These might not be dressy enough for work, but they will work great with a denim jumpsuit or a prairie dress for the weekends.

Eytys Baccarat square-toe patent-leather loafers, $600 from MatchesFashion

8/10

Dad sneakers, meet chunky loafers. We’re obsessed with Eytys’ interpretation of the classic dressy loafers with its shiny patent-leather finish. A crisp shirt and high-waisted trousers are all you need to complete a geek chic ensemble.

Versace logo-embellished holographic printed PVC mules, US$753.64 (S$1,069.44) from Net-a-Porter

This pair of mules are made with Versace’s iconic jungle print that Jennifer Lopez made famous at the 2000 Grammy Awards. We also love the holographic effect and transparent heels that really make it a contemporary design.
