If there’s anything as chic and cool as a Dior handbag, it’s a pair of Dior shoes. Wear them with just about anything you already own, or with something new for a special occasion, and you’re bound to turn heads. Here’s a list of the coolest Dior shoes, along with how I would wear them. Enjoy!

Slick electric blue patent leather sandals with a generous open lattice-work of straps to form a “cage.” A skinny near five-inch heel and ¾ inch platform add height. Slip on and zip in the back. Wear with a contrasting geometric print dress and black, neon blue, or white chunky jewelry.

Did you first spot these in an open-air marketplace in Mumbai near that stall that sold those gorgeous scarves? These are made of soft, smooth dove-grey leather in Italy, but details like the thin braided trim, tassels on the tie-ups, and a stenciled silver plate at the heel attest to its middle east inspiration. Wear with a sheer blouse with and let your dark hair tumble loose down your back. Carry a small clutch.

Pure magic, sex, rock and roll glam. Sexy lace-ups in rich, glossy patent leather in deep red or black. With an open toe, cut-out detailing, and an impossibly tall 4 ¾ inch heel, plus another one-inch platform. I’d pair these with my most sensible black pin-stripe suit for work, or with my fave slouch-shoulder mini-dress for a night out.

If I ever walk a red carpet, I want to wear these shoes and a long, slinky backless dress. I love the interlocking-ring type cutouts and the silver plate detailing at the heel. Made of leather and suede with bronze studs and a tall 4 ¾ inch heel (with another ¾ in platform). For nights when I’m not on the red carpet, I’d wear these with a short snake-skin skirt and sheer light-colored top.

They may look like sensible working-girl lace-up booties, but they’re absolutely not! Shiny black patent leather with intricate sticking detail at the rounded toes could peep modestly out from a pair of wide-leg, cuffed trousers… but the contrasting gold-tone 4 ¼ inch heel certainly doesn’t “blend.” Or wear these with skinny jeans and a glittery sequin tank and chunky gold bangle.

Maybe you’re daring enough to wear the Serpent Ankle Boots from item five, and then some! Then try these pumps, in siren red or glossy black patent, with the same intricate stitching over the entire shoe, including the rounded toe. Again, that bold gold-tone heel, with a very curvaceous shape. Slip on. Wear the red ones with a glowing white dress and miles and miles of gold strands, or with anything grey.
Price: $1,090 at saksfifthavenue.com
Bold and brazen in black suede and genuine python. Back zip to slide on, with cut-out detailing at the sides and a tall, skinny gold-tone heel. A single stripe of python runs atop the foot, with small rings to create the scrunch effect. Another stripe runs up the back of the heel. Wear these with anything, and pair with the Dior Savane Chic Satchel handbag and Dior Diorissima sunglasses.

Every girl knows a corset can refine your shape, and these ankle boots are no exception. Slip these on, lace them up, and enjoy the rich deep brown/maroon leather, mesh sides, and gold-tone hardware. The insole is padded, for comfort, and there’s a one-inch covered platform and gently pointed toe. Wear with every pantsuit you own, or with a creamy ivory sweater dress and matching belt.
Price: $1,050 at saksfifthavenue.com
Cozy Spanish shearing meets soft Italian suede in these beautiful snow-bunny boots. These boots are lined, cuffed, and detailed with shearing with skid-preventing rubber sole and suede uppers. Wear these with skinny jeans or leggings and a hip-length sweater and Dior Large Square Sunglasses. Carry a soft brown handbag, too, like the Dior 61 Medium Shopping Bag in Brandy.

A must-have staple in every girl’s shoe rack! These peer-toe platform pumps are made of glossy, high-shine patent leather in sultry deep red — I’ve been looking for a lipstick in this exact shade! — with a 4 ¼ inch heel and ¾ inch platform. There’s a tiny gold-tone Dior nameplate on the back of the heel, too, adding the finishing touch. Wear with everything you own, including your work suits, jeans, club attire… EVERYTHING!
So if you haven’t found a divine pair of shoes for that special holiday party, concert, or other event, I’m sure there’s something on this list that will work perfectly! I love the Persia bootie and the Miss Dior peep-toe pumps! Which of these is your favorite, or is there another pair of incredibly cool Dior shoes you have to have? What would you wear them with? And which handbag would you carry? Please let me know… thanks!
