To avoid being a total snooze fest (and give your overworked go-to pumps a much-needed break!) it's time to retire your platform nude pumps and black patent heels, because this season's high-stepping heels have a new trick up their sole! The newest wave of must-have night-out shoes boast metallic shades and shiny chrome finishes that manage to give the classic platform pump silhouette a whole new, light-reflective spin, from rose gold to mirrored silver and even cool crackled textures. What I love best about these super-shiny heels is that they stand out and make a statement while still staying somewhat neutral, allowing you to play with the possibilities of shoes that don't intentionally match without worrying about the risk of totally clashing! Sure they may not have the same elongating visual effect of nude platforms, but paired with a springy miniskirt, bustier-style dress, or a pair of short shorts, your gams will look just as fab!
