Instant coziness! You might think “fur pumps” are a bit excessive, but think about it – keeping your feet warm is how you prevent hypothermia. Givenchy is looking out for us! Now I can’t say a plush dollop at your heels will take the place of a down coat, but stay with me! Anyway, these suede and rabbit fur pumps are so much more enticing than a puffy jacket.

Serving up the same sultry, old-time glamour as a stole around your neck, just on your Achilles tendon; the flourish is just brilliant. A dash of fur does wonders for dressing up a look, and this is the perfect amount, too much to be a funny pom-pom and too little to overwhelm the minimalist pump. These lure us back to the days when femininity was polished, finished, and brazenly in-your-face. Just pay attention to winter’s weather reports – nasty rain and sleet are the worst enemies of a sensually sensitive shoe like this. On Luisa Via Roma for $951.

Pair with: Some fur on your heels and some lace to top off your sleeves. Jason Wu‘s “Richelieu” appliquéd wool coat has a mannish cut with girlish details, for an impossibly modern throwback, just like your shoes. On Net-a-Porter for $2,550.
