Can I Have You, Jimmy Choo?

All I have to say is Jimmy Choo has done it again! The latest 24/7 Collection has made the Perfect Pump, Perfect Flat, Perfect Peep-Toe and Perfect Sandal so much so that you feel like a star when they are on your feet! Not only do these shoe styles exhibit the womanly foot in its prime appeal, but they come in different colors and finishes to allow you to wear them from day to night. The versatile beauties that these are, most can be paired with jeans for a chic day outfit or glammed up with a cocktail dress to be flirty and fun. Most styles come in solids, patent leather, metallic, or textured with shine to fit any lifestyle. So to buying a Jimmy Choo shoe from this collection would be like buying a great basic that can be paired with many outfits to rejuvenate your wardrobe and make everything you have in your closet feel like new. Here below I have listed all the styles and my suggestions as to what to pair them with for the ultimate way to show off your Choo shoes...take a look!

CLUE
This is your most basic, anytime kind of shoe. Dresses (bare legged), skinny/ boot cut jeans, leggings all go with this. It would be the clothes that would dictate if it were for daywear or eveningwear...the choice is yours with this peeptoe slingback!
FINLAY
Flats like these are mostly casual, daywear. Comfortable for running around in on busy days you can pair these with any cut of a jean or leggings and a dress/skirt. Tights will go with these too for another option to keep those legs conservative and cute under a skirt or dress.


GLENYS

The best celebutante shoe out there: the cage heels. For eveningwear mostly, this would look best with a short cocktail dress (tighter if you are younger) for a night out on the town. Can also be paired with skinny jeans or leggings for a less dressy look but the ultimate go-to shoe when you want attention all on you!

LACE
I can see this best with professional business wear, like a pencil skirt and blazer or a office worthy dress. If worn, sheer toe-less hose is a must because it would violate the beauty of the shoes to see the tights covering your toes! Alternately, this could be a more conservative look to go with a formal dress. Depending on the style of the dress and the wearer's age, this could be classically beautiful with a floor or knee length gown.

LANCE
Here is the shoe that will make you feel like a Greek goddess. Like the LACE, it can be similarly paired with your best work attire and formal wear. The slimly-wrapped leather straps set this shoe style apart from most other heeled sandals and look elegantly timeless.


LEWIS
Appropriately called the Perfect Pump, this is another everywhere kind of shoe. Wear them to work peeping out from under your slacks or with a dress suit, or wear out to dinner with dark wash jeans and a dressy top. All the more personality comes from the leopard pattern that are featured here. Just don't overdo the animal print if you go for this and pair with solids to bring life to a neutral color ( ex: black, white, tan).
PRIVATE
Almost looks like a ankle bootie with cutouts, this shoe is edgy and requires a trend-setter mentality to pull off. This also does not allow the wearer to wear tights since you can't really hide much with them. Wear these only with leg conforming bottoms like leggings or skinny jeans and bare legged under skirts and dresses.

QUIET
The name of these is pretty much the exact opposite of what I think when I look at them. These are loud and proud, the tallest and boldest in the collection. These can be combined with jeans of all cuts (just make sure they are long enough to cover at least 3/4 of the heel) and if you're daring enough, all skirts and dresses too. The shorter the skirt, the sexier, but use your own discretion because you want to look sexy but in a classy way.


LOCKETT
The most coservative of all, this pointy mid-heel shoe is best for the corporate woman with businesswear like the LEWIS. I would also reccommend it for taller women who feel like they don't want to tower over others but still want a dressier shoe. Being closed up all around, anything goes when pairing these with your wardrobe for a chic and put-together look.
