The Anti-Flat Summer Shoe That Makes Dresses and Jeans Look Much More Elegant
I'm convinced that no summer shoe trend can have as great an impact on your elegance as gold heels. Read on to discover how Alexa Chung styled hers here.


As far as my style muses go, Alexa Chung has held onto her top spot for longer than any of the competition. From her indie sleaze era in the mid-2000s to her effortlessly chic Italian-holiday looks this very week, I've been a devoted follower through every style evolution.
Never one to miss a beat, I spotted Chung dressing for the Italian heat in the one summer shoe trend that makes a warm-weather outfit feel so much more put-together. Whilst I love her in classic ballet flats and Mary Janes, I can't deny that her outfit was perfected by the gold heels trend.
Chung's easy ensemble only comprised two items, but still cast a powerful silhouette. Reaching for a Chloé puff-sleeve minidress in a dusty lilac shade, Chung completed her look with a pair of open-toe mules in a rich gold hue, creating a look drenched in high-summer elegance.
As opposed to simple black and beige heels, Chung's gleaming shoes infused the outfit with a touch of glamour, making the whole ensemble feel far more considered. Pairing well with her swishy babydoll dress, this trend is also perfect for lending your jeans an elevated energy.
With their decadent hue and poised silhouette, gold heels are a foolproof route to an elegant outfit. To shop the shoe trend worth its weight in gold, read on to discover my edit of the best gold heels.

The square-toe design gives these a sleek and polished energy.
I always come back to Sézane for its elegant, French-inspired pieces.
