While black and navy pumps work perfectly well on their own, if you took a look in your closet, you’d probably find that they’re piling up in there. Row after row of deep dark shoes. . . but what about the color? Truth is, rich tones can give your style a boost and really up the ante in your day-to-day business style.

Get rich.
Color-wise, that is! Look for deep dark tones that are romantic and exotic, from rich cocoa to oxblood red. You can easily vamp things up with a silky, satiny top in a coordinating color, particularly if you’re the type to wear slim-fitting skirts and sleek dresses.
Compromise.
Have a gorgeous bag in a fun color that you just can’t seem to shake? Coordinate it with a subtle pair of colored heels—choose a pair with delicate piping or trim to complement them without overwhelming your ‘fit. It’s a perfect compromise for the woman who loves color, but needs her shoes to have transition potential from day to night, work to play, and boardroom to. . . bedroom.

Showcase your gams.
Live in a cooler climate—and your favorite cozy sweater tights? You’re not alone. This winter, go for novelty legwear in the subtlest of shades to complete your newfound love for color. Make your skirts work in when you’re strolling or grabbing a sandwich at your nearby bistro on the weekend.

Have fun.
Winter can be blah—but your feet don’t have to be. A pair of ankle boots with a bright heel can boost your spirits instantly! You’ll find that double-duty boots are a fun compromise when it’s snowing and you’re heading out for the night, and pumps of a similar style work very well in the business world.

If color intimidates you, try texture.
Take a slight detour from color with rich textures: faux snakeskin, embossed leather, and soft suede. In sexy peep toes or simple girly stilettos, a few extra details let you rock your best LBD and then still wear these shoes to the board room without question. Perfect for the budget-savvy diva, and trend-conscious, too!
