I’ll gladly take my styling cues from Victoria Beckham, and this week the designer stepped out in a shoe trend that makes my favourite long-line, winter-worn denim feel surprisingly ready for spring. Not sandals—as you might expect at this time of year—but something even chicer. Instead, Beckham opted for an elegant pair of heeled peep-toe shoes to bridge the seasonal divide.

Peeking out from beneath her dark-wash, longline Julia Jeans from her namesake label (£390), her jet-black peep toes anchored denim with a lighter, more wearable energy. Where boots paired with jeans can feel too heavy for these early spring days, and sandals a little premature, this in-between style offers a considered alternative.

Now firmly out of boot season, these elevated heels deliver the same sense of poise I always look to heels for, but with a softness that feels spring-ready.
