Patent Leather Shoes

Top Picks for Women

By , About.com Guide

I must admit, I've been a lifelong fan of patent leather. Hence, it's an especially good time to be me, since patent leather shoes have become so popular once again. Here are a few of my favorite styles for women.

1. Steve Madden "Exodus" - Sexy Patent Sandals

The cut of these sandals would be sexy no matter what the uppers were made from, but the fact that they're patent sends them right off the charts. Plus, I'm crazy about the unique shade of blue. Oh, and did I mention the mirrored metallic heels? I guess it's easy to see why these shoes made the list. Check them out in black as well!

2. Stuart Weitzman "Summer" - Patent Leather Flip-Flops

I've written about these amazing flip-flops more than any other pair of shoes this season. Flats just don't usually look this sexy. Of course, I adore them in red, but I have to say, they're equally fab in white. Perfect for pairing with a mini or shorts.

3. Jessica Simpson "Tieve" Sandals - Fun Classics

Not only does this simple, sexy sandal offer a timeless style, it also comes in four fun colors: pink, green, red or black. But the real show stopper on this sandal is the 3.75" tapered heel.

4. DaniBlack 'Master' Patent Flats

Here's one for all the flat lovers, or anyone who appreciates classic shoes. These patent ballerina flats transcend trends, and are ideal for pairing with everything from suits to jeans. They come in several different colors and textures, but my favorites by far are the red, navy and black patent versions

5. Tribeca "Snick Snack" - Black Patent Sling-backs

This sling-back platform is unique and fun. With it's chunky, striped, woven fabric 4" heel, the "Snick Snack" is fabulously trendy. The semi-oval buckle and bow on front are simply adorable.
