Velvet upper with a dense, short pile that absorbs light rather than reflecting it - giving the shoe a depth that polished finishes simply cannot match. Sharply pointed toe that elongates the foot and keeps the silhouette clean and precise from every angle. High stiletto heel sitting between 7 and 9cm - slender enough to look refined, with enough height to add real presence. Softly curved vamp cut low at the sides, creating a neat, uncluttered profile across the foot. Court shoe construction with no fastenings - slips on cleanly and sits close to the foot without any bulk. A court shoe that earns its place at the back of the wardrobe as the one you reach for when an outfit needs to mean something. The velvet upper does the work that a plain satin or patent heel never quite manages - it reads as considered rather than just dressed up, which makes these as suited to a wedding guest outfit as they are to a graduation or a smart work event. Pair with wide-leg tailored trousers for a long, unbroken line, or with a midi dress and a structured blazer for a look that holds its own at a formal occasion without feeling overdone. The pointed toe and low-cut sides keep the silhouette sharp, so there is no need to add much else. A simple clutch bag and understated jewellery are all that is needed to complete the look. | Dorothy Perkins Women's Dash Velvet Pointed High Stiletto Heel Court Shoes in Black | Size: 5
