Metallics work with almost everything, too. And don't forget prints. Checks, polka dots, stars, stripes and florals can put pizzazz underfoot and update last year's solid-color outfits. Some patterned styles are ornamented with bright leather, raffia or shiny patent. Others blossom with buttons and bows, and many have faux flowers along straps, on wedges or accenting open toes.
Creative touches run rampant.
But prices aren't over the top. If you shop around a bit, as little as 10 bucks can send you high-stepping. As for heel heights, anything goes.
