• Faux patent leather upper with a high-shine finish that catches the light with every step
• Slim stiletto heel sitting between 7 and 9cm - tall enough to make an impact without sacrificing the ability to actually move on a night out
• Square open toe gives the sandal a more contemporary edge compared to the classic almond or pointed silhouette
• Slender ankle strap fastens with a jewel-encrusted rectangular buckle - the kind of detail that does a lot of work for a small amount of hardware
• Minimal two-strap construction keeps the foot largely exposed, making legs look longer from every angle

The silhouette here is all about restraint - just enough strap to hold the foot in place, nothing more. That minimal coverage is exactly what makes these sandals work so hard. The ankle strap sits close to the skin without digging in, and the slim heel keeps the proportions sharp rather than chunky. The jewelled buckle is the one moment of detail, and it lands right at the ankle where it reads clearly whether you're standing or sitting. Pair with a satin slip mini and a micro bag for a night out, or wear with wide-leg tailored trousers and let the toe peek out at the hem for something a bit more considered. These sit equally well at a birthday dinner, a club night, or a pre-drinks where the outfit needs to carry through to the early hours. The high-gloss finish means they hold their own against sequins and metallics without being overwhelmed.
