The shoes everyone’s obsessing over this season? It’s all about the lace-ups. They’re fun, flirty, and sometimes a little bit wild (in a good way). You don’t need to enlist a full-time stylist to pull them off, either. We’re showing you how to embrace the strappy silhouette for any occasion – whether you’re crushing a big presentation, brunching with the girls, or going on your first Tinder date.

At Weekend Brunch
Dressing for bottomless mimosas is all about achieving that casual-cool look. Think: espadrilles, laid-back denim, and a comfy cropped tee for an on-trend outfit that doesn’t make it seem like you’re trying too hard. Just add your favorite shades to conceal any signs of a late night out.

In the Office
Sick of the same old style routine every day? Punch up your 9-to-5 look with neutral-hued strappy heels. When worn with a conservative sheath and tailored jacket, they add just the right balance of confidence and polish to the work week.

On a Date
Make a statement with stiletto sandals that beg for a night out on the town. Tasseled laces add a playful twist when paired with your trusty LBD-and-clutch combo. Turn up the flirty factor with bare shoulders, then consider that second date as good as yours.
