They say that a girl can never have too many shoes, and while I do agree to a certain extent, as a fashion editor I would say that if you’re limited on cash or closet space, it’s always best to stick to the classics that you can wear anytime and with anything. The footwear that really will do it all is the humble black court shoe, and I promise that you will get more wardrobe mileage out of this style staple than any other heel.
While not as flashy or glamorous as metallic strappy styles or patterned platforms, I'm a firm believer that everybody should own a pair of understated black courts. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the long list of Hollywood A-listers who have all opted for a pair of heeled pumps over the last couple of weeks; both Reese Witherspoon and Demi Moore are fans, and the celebrities prove just how versatile this particular style can be.
