Statement-making heels are the new fall essentials.

Shopping for autumn is always an exciting experience, and now that we’ve had a chance to digest the key trends seen on the runway we can begin to interpret them our way on the streets. Defining the fashion landscape for the Fall 2019 season is contrast. Opposing influences of classic versus contemporary celebrate the woman of today and her ever-evolving style. We’ve got our eyes set on heels with dazzling treatments neutralized by modern materials, and have honed in on two pairs that are bound to suit just about any sartorial taste. New limited-edition styles from Hassia and BeautiFeel have the potential to transform an entire outfit, bottom to top. While our favorites do have party-girl connotations, they also work at the office, on date night, and during happy hour as they take care of the comfort factor to keep you on your feet all day (or night) long.

The Hassia Florence heel (304952) is a rework of the charming Mary Jane pump. It’s designed with a black suede upper, a sleek almond toe, and a reinforced heel for durability. Swarovski crystals grace the single strap for subtle sparkle. Nappa leather and a lightly padded, removable insole are included for underfoot support. To prevent slipping, rubber tread has been added to the low block heel and forefoot of the outsole. Priced at just $295, it’s a must-have item to put in your rotation.

For $345, BeautiFeel’s Cerise pump redefines minimalism with a playful twist to its simple shape. The shoe is crafted of black Italian leather coated with a shimmering finish. A scalloped topline adds another element for visual impact. Its almond-shaped toe and sculpted high heel make the silhouette versatile enough to pair with everything from skirts to pants. A soft footbed fitted to the interior and a rubber tread pattern balance cushioning and stability.

Hassia and Beautifeel reaffirm that pumps are a girl’s best friend this fall. For a day of meetings at the office, our style mavens love the Cerise heel paired with a high-neck midi dress or more masculine in cigarette pants feminized by a tie-neck blouse. Whichever route you take, choose drop earrings and thin bracelets on each wrist as finishing touches. Team Hassia’s Florence with a belted sheath dress for a French dinner. Accessorize with stud earrings and a patterned silk scarf wrapped around your shoulders. For a Saturday shopping excursion, opt for jeans, a cashmere sweater, and sheer ankle socks. An oversized car coat on top adds polish and maturity to the look.
