Velvet Vision

The ultimate covetable closet accumulates garments made of exquisite fabrics—including satins, silks and velvets galore! But we sometimes fall victim to forgetting about swathing our soles in equally chic materials. Never fear, Tom Ford has our feet feeling positively spoiled in his Violet Velvet Ribbon Sandals.

There were a few telltale signs that began our love affair with these heels from the designer’s spring collection: First, the flattering ankle-strap style caught out eye, and then the plush velvet touches made us swoon. But when we saw the vibrant purple hue, we became simply smitten! Perfect for the upcoming season, the open-toe silhouette is right on-trend, and their violet color will carry your wardrobe elegantly through the warm months ahead.

Availability: Tom Ford Violet Velvet Ribbon Sandals ($1490, available at Tom Ford Beverly Hills, 310.270.9440). For additional information, visit Tomford.com.
