PUMPS

A classic wardrobe is never complete without black pumps. The timeless female shoes, they come in varieties that can fit into a business, party, evening dates and official occasions. Make sure the heels are medium and comfy to walk on. Go for toes that are not too rounded or pointy but shaped well enough. Classic black pumps go well with leggings, tweed, silk, and leather shorts.
