The Return of the Glitter Heel from Miu Miu – Trend Tuesday

Last fall the crew here at FoS were beginning to get rather tired of seeing editors and their comrades in Miu Miu’s sensational glitter heeled 40′s inspired booties, yet the labels latest offering for fall, glitter heeled mary-janes, has us re-thinking the versatility of the idea…

And with those retro-tinged mary-janes done up in a slew of delicious, vivid patent leather hues, the concept now has an even greater reach as we see them working well with looks high & low for a woman of any age.

How to make them work without surrendering to an all-out trend while adapting them to a wardrobe for any age you ask?

>>REVISIT: The Best of Pre-Fall 2012

Well for starters, high-heeled mary-janes will always add a dose of ultra-femme decadence to any look, but when you add glitter to the mix you are talking about an elevated concept on the idea of girly glamour.

>>FIND: Figure flattering dresses to go with your new shoes…

So with that in mind make sure to avoid pairing them with girlish prints and silhouettes as they will reverse your age in a manner that will make you appear to be trying too hard.

Stick to tailored pieces with a more masculine elegance as they will ground the shoes in an age appropriate realm while adding a radiant bit of flair to even the most basic of looks. Keep what you wear with all of Fall 2012′s glittery footwear options on the more refined and sophisticated side as you’ll be able to highlight the shoes beauty while making a case for going bold. Subtly.
