When you want your outfit to look expensive, there are a few easy additions that work every time. A heavy-knit, sculpted cashmere sweater will always do the trick—as will an extremely well-fitting pair of black trousers. Anything in camel or cream adds value to your wardrobe, and so do shoes—any shoes—when they come in this unexpected color. If you're wearing gold shoes, from heels to flats, your outfit's guaranteed to go up a tax bracket, and Jennifer Lopez knows it.
This week, J.Lo was spotted in Istanbul at Istinye Park, a shopping center in the Turkish metropolis, donning a powder-pink poplin shirt-and-shorts set with a rattan Prada bag and a pair of gold flip-flops—the perfect finisher for her late-summer ensemble.

While Lopez chose to style her gold sandals in a resort-facing way, the shoe color allows for a variety of styling options. Toss on a pair of heeled gold sandals with tights, a black dress, and a sleek coat for a night out in the middle of winter, or dress down the festive footwear with vintage jeans, a white tee, and a leather bomber jacket. A white skirt and cashmere sweater would look great with gold heels—as would tailored black trousers and a tank top. The possibilities truly are endless.
