black pumps

The cornerstone to a woman's shoe collection is the black pump. Whether you're dressing for a job interview, a special date or everyday comfort and confidence, there's a style of black pump to complete your outfit.

Pumps are available in many heel heights, from kitten heels to sky-high stilettos. Block heels, such as those offered by Salvatore Ferragamo and Stuart Weitzman, are especially on-trend and offer height while providing stability. For all-day comfort, consider a wedge heel from Tory Burch that evenly distributes your weight. Toe shape is another feature to consider when you're shopping for new black pumps to add to your wardrobe. Rounded and almond toes from Vince Camuto and kate spade new york are classic and comfortable, but pointed-toe pumps from COACH or Cole Haan can add edge and polish to your outfit. With a little patience and research, you can easily find new designer pumps on sale.

A black pump can be basic in a good way, but it never has to be boring. Designers offer many takes on the classic by using unique materials and special details that can turn a shoe from standard to stunning. If you're looking for fashionable footwear for the warmer months, consider designer lace-up sandals from Pour La Victoire or black open-toe pumps from Via Spiga. Jeweled embellishments, studs and bows can also add a special touch. Gucci has made loafer styles a current trend, and these new offerings look more downtown cool than studious. You can easily find black pumps in whatever style you need.
