How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
When I’m styling a client for a long workday, I always have them break in the heels a week prior.
Walking around the house for 15 minutes a day.
On the day, I apply a thin layer of clear deodorant on the back of the heel to prevent rubbing, then dust a bit of powder inside for grip.
For the overall look, I pair these shoes with tailored trousers that hit just above the ankle.
So the shoe gets full attention.
I finish with a matte nude lip and a soft smoky eye.
Everything else stays minimal to let the footwear do the talking.
