Shaded shoes like these stunning pumps are also called ombre, gradient, dip-dyed, graduated, degrade -- as well as a host of other names. But whatever you call them, the trend is hot and it's getting hotter.

While merely having an ombre upper isn't enough to turn my head, I do adore these Jessica Simpson pumps because the style is classic and the colors work so well together. They also feature a more dramatic variation than a lot of other shaded shoes, without being too extreme. Buy Direct
