Classic black pumps in a sexy sandal silhouette are a must for hot summer nights.
They’re sleek, chic, and go with everything in your closet; but it can be a bit overwhelming to find a cute, affordable pair that won’t leave you limping after an hour.
As a self-proclaimed shoe-hoarder, I’m here to lend some expertise: Typically, I turn to Zara, Guess, ASOS, or—if you prefer trying on options in-store—Nordstrom and Macy’s to shop three specific styles: The platform, the t-strap and the cork wedge.
- The Platform Pump: The towering platform on these Steve Madden soles feels modern, while a skinny high-heel adds some seriously sultry appeal. Available at Mango for $130
- The T-strap Sandal: T-straps sandals create a leg-lengthening silhouette for 24-hour style. Peep-toe bonus points go to these super-chic heels. Available at ASOS for $70
- The Cork Wedge: A chunky heel makes this street-chic style from Zara perfect for work or weekends. Available at Zara for $99
In addition, I’ve done the legwork for you, browsing these sites (and more) for a few perfect pairs sure to spice up your warm-weather wardrobe—from chunky to laser-cut, soft suede and patent leather.
