Whenever I’m in a rush to get dressed, I find myself falling back on a monochrome look to keep things simple.
Elegant, easy and uncomplicated, the formula never fails, but I have to admit, sometimes I do find that my monochrome looks veer a little too safe. In these instances, I look to a shoe trend that can do some heavy lifting. This week, Victoria Beckham offered the very inspiration I'm always on the lookout for. Attending the premiere of her new self-titled Netflix documentary, the designer stepped out in an all-white look that was elevated by her chic choice of footwear.
Rather than opting for a classic pair of black courts—a would-be natural companion to her crisp white pencil skirt—Beckham chose an unexpected pair of curved-heel peep-toes. A subtle play on proportions, the heel curved outward to create a sculptural silhouette that added unexpected dimension to her otherwise minimalist outfit.
Setting aside her signature puddle pants for the evening, Beckham embraced another emerging trend, styling a body-skimming pencil skirt. Falling to mid-calf, the sleek design felt like the smarter, more refined response to the bohemian circle skirts that dominated summer. With its sharp lines and inherently poised energy, this silhouette is poised to become one of winter’s key silhouettes.
Paired with her tonal white blazer and her subtly curved heels, Beckham's monochrome look felt fresh, elevated and naturally elegant. Inspired by Victoria's chic styling moment, below I've curated an edit of the best curved heels to elevate your next monochrome outfit. Read on to shop my picks.
