Styling-wise, I've always considered the final couple of months of the calendar among the most exciting of the year. Sure, there may not be any major celebrity events, nor any huge runway shows, but between the pull of party season and the sudden drop in temperatures, we're pushed to get a little more creative—and I find that, collectively, this is when style is at its best.
Replete with cosy knits and thick outerwear, it's my shoe collection that I'm experimenting with this season. Taking cues from the dipping temperatures, approaching party season, and the chicest people on my FYP, I'm newly inspired to shop for closed-toe low heels this time around.
An ideal addition for this time of year, these shoes style well with your daily uniform, think casual jeans and relaxed trousers, while looking aptly elegant with your dressier garments for when the season's chicer events begin to stack up.
While the closed-toe finish keeps you comfortable during winter's chilly days, I find that this silhouette also adds a sleekness that open-toe styles can't quite match. Likewise, low-heel detailing adds the height needed to give your look a distinctly polished edge, without going so far as to make you feel uncomfortable.
A more elegant alternative to ballet flats, without the fuss of stilettos, I can clearly see closed-toe low heels becoming the silhouette of the season. If you can, too, read on to discover my edit of the best pairs below.
