Figuring out how to make an evening-ready outfit look its most polished? It all comes down to the shoes. The right pair can totally transform a look, and when it comes to evening dressing, few styling choices work harder than a sophisticated heel.

So, if you’re looking to refresh your footwear rotation with a pair that will elevate every outfit you own, allow me to point you in the direction of the chic shoe trend that’s already made it’s way into Victoria Beckham’s rotation.

Stepping away from classic leather and soft suede styles, Beckham instead styled her sharp three-piece suit with a pair of sleek croc-effect heels. Finished in glossy patent leather with subtle embossed texture, the shoes added depth and interest without distracting from the clean lines of the outfit.
