A bit pricey but a classic, I give you the court shoe in black suede. Admit it you'd forgotten how such a shoe looks on! The other day I tried on my clothes in Reiss with a pair of their Chrissy courts and I have to say it was a good look. I did find them a bit narrow and I don't have particularly wide little flippers for feet. The classic court adds an edge of sophistication that even surprised me. Of course you could go the whole hog and get a pair of Christian Louboutin's classic pumps as he likes to call them! I suppose court shoe does sound a bit 80s or 90s - whatever they look good.
Very classic shape. Nice shoes. Just need to wait for the next sale. :)
ReplyDeleteHi there-the Reiss Chrissy ones are divine, but would be too narrow for me. Its a great staple to have though! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteSomehow court shoes never look right on me. But, I agree the shoes look fab!
ReplyDeleteIt looks very simple & elegant.

These court shoes are the business! love the structure of them. my necklace was bought for two pounds from the jewellery stand in selfridges during the end of a sales season. it was either a concession stand for Oasis or was it principles but was dirt cheap.

When I read "court shoes" I was thinking Nike's with a Blue swoosh( 80's old school style) and I scroll down to see you were talking about the kind of court where you have to curtsy. Can you tell I have been watching a lot of tennis lately?;-)xoxo
ReplyDeleteMarian - ah Oasis then as Selfridges have never had Principles in as a concession store. It's so lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteLa Belette - haha! So you are enjoying the US Open. How I'd love to be at Flushing Meadows just to soak up NY and Queens!
Those are very nice, classy shoes. And they're a good investment as they're so versatile! =)
