We saw quite a bit of this style of bow at Christmastime last year, which I guess was appropriate, given that it looks exactly the kind of bow you’d see on a gift! Oddly enough, I wasn’t particularly keen on it on any of the party shoes it was most often seen on, but I love it on these Red or Dead court shoes, which are $69.99 at Schuh. On some shoes, a “giftwrap bow” can be a bit too much, but in this case I think it’s an excellent way to liven up a pair of standard black courts shoes: and hey, look, there’s even a little silver heart on the heel, too!
These also have a lovely shape in general, and while they’d be perfect office shoes, I also think they’d look good either dressed up for evening, or worn casually with black jeans.
