Leave the glass slipper behind. A lucite heel is the real secret to walking on air. Perspex shoes continue to trend with designers, and with a little confidence (as all trend-setters must have), the totally transparent style is easier than ever to pull off. Lanvin has perfected the balancing act between Cinderella and dancer with the lucite wedge sandal. First off, a wedge is almost always tamer than its stiletto counterpart. And with scalloped suede detailing and delicate ankle straps, the crystal clear wedge goes from gaudy to girly. Suede-covered bases ground the style with an even more sensible structure (the click-clack of lucite can be a little much). If you’re still afraid of evoking any bad girl images, pair the shoes with a demure pedi in a sweet spring shade like petal pink. So do you think you’re ready to try out the translucent style? Available at Nordstrom for $1,590.
