Gone are the days when strappy heels strictly meant black stilettos; instead, white shoes reigned on the runways this spring. Here, Altuzarra pairs a tough lace-up variety with an equally hardy all-leather ensemble, proving that white can be just as bold as any number of dark shades. And don’t be afraid to wear the heel—whether a multibuckle Azzedine Alaïa or back-zip Pucci—with a softer silhouette, like a floral dress or pastel pantsuit: The crispness just begs to be tempered by spring’s feminine looks. —Charlotte Steinway
