Sheen and be seen with the latest footwear trend

Patent leather’s eye-popping glory is this season’s hot ticket for the sole sophisticate. Pumps and boots finished in the high-gloss material are show-stopping adds, kicking up the standard holiday black dress or staid black-tie suit. Or, polish off your casual jeans-and-tee with patent-trimmed sneakers and flats.

Whether used as a shiny accent or the denouement to an all-sheen ensemble, patent leather shoes take your winter style a step forward.
