All this time you’ve spent not owning perfect-fitting sensible shoes that elongate the leg, lift the bum and you can (and will) wear everywhere – that’s about to end.
At first glance, the court shoe is a simple-fronted, fuss free affair with a slender heel. We wear them to work. We take them off at home. Cruelly sidestepped in the realms of fashion for far too long, the court shoe is finally, discreetly yet firmly, having its moment in the spotlight.
You probably already own a pair of court shoes – they’re a staple in any discerning woman’s capsule wardrobe. You see, they’ve been here all along, just waiting to be properly appreciated.
For far too long we’ve been pre-fixing our shoes with the term ‘statement’. Now it’s time for a more debonair affair. They’ll carry you from desk to dinner to disco and suddenly you realize… this is what you have been missing out on.
Work Wonders
Clockwise from top left: Gabor Arnica, Gabor Beautiful, Gabor Vesta, Gabor Melton.
Subtly stylish and simple defines work wear court shoes. Keep the colours dark for a consistently smart appearance that you can team with just about anything, but don’t be afraid to experiment with textures and trimmings. Don’t go over the top – that’s not what this look is about.
Haute On Your Heels
Clockwise from top left: Gabor Elan, Gabor Glimpse, Gabor Champ, Gabor Arberia.
Elegant, sophisticated and with a touch of class, the evening court offers something more in the way of design – straps, cutouts and fuller detailing are the signature. Keep slingback styles exclusively for evenings but work closed-toes from the office to the bar.
Don’t be caught court-short this season and look to Gabor court shoes to provide your footwear fix.
