I was recently having a conversation with someone who said that they were either a bag person or a shoe person. that It’s a binary statement, but I happen to fall into the latter camp. After all, shoes are what spice up my wardrobe. A pair of colorful sneakers or bold heels can make my go-to outfit (simple jeans and a basic white tank top) look effortlessly well-styled. And there’s one look Hollywood has relied on to do just that, and Eva Longoria might have worn the sexiest version of it.
The actress was spotted in New York City wearing quite possibly the most elaborate sweater dress I’ve ever seen. The ankle-length bodycon dress looked like it was sewn together. It was wrapped around her neck like a choker and knotted at the chest. It was like a cardigan tied over a tube dress, and it was DIY in the chicest way possible. I loved the dress, but personally, I don’t need a sweater dress in the summer. What I do want, though, are the shoes she paired it with. Metallic silver stiletto heels.

Longoria’s Metal pump They’re eye-catching but not spotlight-stealing. Black heels are too bold next to cool grey and white is too feminine, Silver Shoes Her outfit enhanced the modern and sexy vibe without being too obtrusive. In short, perfect styling.
Of course, you don’t have to wear sky-high heels and futuristic dresses to get in on this trend: Jane Fonda and Katie Holmes have both been wearing something a bit more practical recently, opting for silver flats.
While Longoria’s look proved that metallics can complement a dressed-up look, Holmes’ was a shining example of the trend’s power to elevate a look: Her look, which featured mirrored ballet flats paired with simple linen pants and a white tank top, brought a fresh, cool feel to a classic casual summer look.
