Don’t think that patent shoes are for those with fetishisms. You have only got to go into your high street, and on shop floors you will find everything from courts to Mary-Janes, T-Bar shoes, knee highs boots as well as belts and bags. This follows patent shoes appearing in many Fall 2007 shows.

A patent shoe can make an outfit pop.

The shoes are an instant statement piece.

Black, red and even nude seem to dominate the patent color palette, but don’t be afraid to wear other colours, just stay away from leopard print…ick.

Many celebrities have been wearing these shoes in a variety of styles and colours recently.
