Whether you're a fan of the pin-up craze or you just want something a little more modern on your feet, stiletto pumps can work for you. They take the old classic, pumps, and add an edgy, thin heel.
When to Wear Stiletto Pumps
Whenever you want! There is a time and a place for every kind of stiletto pump.
To Work
To look polished, professional, and avoid absolutely killing your feet, opt for lower heels (no more than two inches) and somewhat muted colors. Neutrals are good, especially when the heels will be eye-catching on their own. For best results, wear your work-friendly stiletto pumps with slacks or a long pencil skirt.
Out on the Town
Here, you don't have to be afraid of the color and you could opt for a taller heel than you'd usually wear to work if you'd like. Consider what you'll be doing all day, how stable the ground will be, and how used to wearing high heels you are. Don't shy away from snake- or leopard-print designs or hot pink. This is your chance to wear what you could never get away with at work. Stiletto pumps pair gloriously with slightly flared blue jeans that fall slightly below the base of the heel. Put on a fitted shirt, snug jeans in a dark wash, and your newest stilettos for a long-legged look that will turn heads everywhere you go.
In the Bedroom
Some of the more obvious fetish wear is perfect for the bedroom. You may not want to wear six-inch heels at work all day (ouch!), but you might be able to stand them as part of a costume or to pair up with your favorite teddy. Check out some of the patent leather styles, shoes with marabou accents, and those designs with tall, tall heels. Stiletto pumps in this setting make the perfect accent to a retro, pin-up look. If you're considering making your lover a pin-up calendar while they're away, these shoes are a must.
