This fall, platform heels remain chic while becoming more streamlined and less clunky. The pair above is from Narciso Rodriguez’s fall 2007 ready-to-wear collection. The peep toe, black leather, and large buckle give the shoe a tough rocker look. For a cheaper, similar shoe try the pair at right from Dru NY found at UrbanOutfitters.com for $150. The patent leather T-strap and platform heel will also give you that rocker vibe while keeping your precious little toes warm as the weather cools.

When you’re ready to jump into fall with a fresh pair of leather boots, don’t settle for anything less than a playful yet sophisticated look. Luana Vallesi offers plenty of fun with this slouched camel-colored pair, complete with matted gold buckles and a ‘washed’ look that doesn’t scream ‘I’m new’ as you make your grand entrance. The boots are made with soft nappa leather and a 3.5” stacked heel. Combined with rubber inserts, these are easy to maneuver in while taking you to your coveted up-to-there heights. A pointed toe proves you’re still one sophisticated lady, regardless of your fall antics playing in the leaves.

Perhaps more 80′s style coming back to haunt us, or taunt a new generation, cap toe heels are everywhere for fall. What do you think of this color-block style? It’s easy to go too childish or too matronly with these designs, so we’d recommend paying attention to the shape of the toe. More modern rounded points or peep-toes are flattering, as are slimmer heels. The pair above, by Guess for $110, are a bit flashy with the loud plaid pattern. What do you say, yay or nay?

Cuffed boots go great with almost any length skirt, but are probably most flattering when an inch or two of skin (or hosiery) shows between the top of the boot and the bottom of your skirt, as shown on Danijela Dimitrovska on the Sophia Kokosalaki runway above.
