This style is a little confusing to me. The awkward mix of masculine and feminine seems incongruous, but I guess that’s the appeal. I would stick with ladylike pairings to add a sense of delicacy to these chunky heels. While they’re seen most often in the office, try to have fun with them when you’re off the clock. If you decide to jump in feet first into this trend, here are my top picks to keep you ahead of the curve.

Bottega Veneta Leather Platform Pumps: With these hefty platforms, you’ll grow another six inches in seconds. Wear with a pencil skirt for a cheeky play on secretarial style. On NET-A-PORTER for $950.

Alexander McQueen Suede and Perspex Pumps: Don’t dig your heels in with these on – you’ll want them the gold metallic-dipped perspex to be seen. On NET-A-PORTER for $1,795.

Gucci Straw and Studded Leather Loafer Pumps: Gucci should’ve just stuck with the horsebit hardware rather than overwhelming the already unusual style with a barrage of silver studs. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $795.

Fendi Flappers Lizard-Print Leather Loafer Pumps: If you’re tired of your boring work shoes, give your look some new life with colorblocked lizard print. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $795.

Carven x Robert Clergerie Buckled Loafer Pump: Those large buckles and cleat-like soles don’t help to underplay the masculine vibe, making this the hardest pair to pull off. Dare you try? Pre-order at Barneys New York for $1,025.

There’s nothing like a chain to add subtle sex appeal to an outfit. Whether we’re talking a sky-high heel or a lowly flat, a little metal goes a long way. On Alexander McQueen’s summer sandals (on NET-A-PORTER for $675), the gold trim perfectly accents the signature skull centerpiece. See which other designers are ready to chain you up…

Monika Chiang Domina Chain Cuff Sandals: Chains and cuffs? Sounds like a dangerous situation, but Monika Chiang is just trying to keep you safe atop those nearly 5 inch heels! On Shopbop for $495.

Say what you want about 50 Shades of Grey – it made a huge splash last summer and with the movie coming out in the next few years, the hype won’t be dying down anytime soon. S&M has always had an underground appeal, but it seems that people are taking it to the streets with the fiercest shoes we’ve seen yet. In these spiked Christian Louboutin sandals (exclusively at Neiman Marcus for $3,995), you’ve essentially already got the chains, so all you need is a whip! Do you have a safe word ready?

Alexander McQueen 150MM Patent Plexiglass Open Toe Wedges: McQueen’s honeycomb style takes a decidedly un-sweet turn on these black wedges. They’re patently perfect for bringing out your inner subservient geisha. On Luisa via Roma for $4,245.

Haider Ackerman Woven Platform Ankle Boot: These kinky boots will keep even the wildest in line. It’s easier to dominate from atop a platform, after all. At Barneys New York for $2,375.

Paul Andrew Strap Back Heels: Just as you mix pain with pleasure, so you should find the balance between sexy and classy. It looks like newcomer Paul Andrew has already mastered the art. On Shopbop for $1,095.

Christian Louboutin Charleze: Christian Louboutin understands the desires of Christian Grey quite well. It takes a Snob to know one, I guess! At Barneys New York for $1,195.

Spring showers bring May flowers, but until then, they also bring rainbows! Do you have a trendy heel in every color? You never know when the mood will strike for red, green, or even indigo pumps. I like to be prepared. Skittles thought you should taste the rainbow, but I’d much rather wear it. So here’s a selection of pumps with ROY G. BIV splashed all over them:

Manolo Blahnik Star Patent Leather Pumps: These juicy cherry-colored pumps are just the shock of color you need to get back into the warm weather groove. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $695.

McQ Alexander McQueen Cutout Pointed Patent-Leather Pumps: Patent neon orange pumps could easily illicit images of ‘80s, but with the back cutouts and sleek silhouette, this McQ shoe is distinctly 2013. On NET-A-PORTER for $590.

Bottega Veneta Bow-Embellished Leather Pumps: Spring and summer are all about getting a healthy dose of vitamin C. So if life gives you lemons, put bows on them and wear them on your feet! On NET-A-PORTER for $780.

Alexander Wang Emma Ankle Strap Pumps: These dark, jungle green pumps will wrap your ankles in vines and vines of support to help you hustle around the concrete jungle in style and security. On Shopbop for $545.

Saint Laurent Leather Pumps: We think of blue as a tranquil color, but I say slide into your sexiest LBD and pop on these pumps for a black and blue look that’s a little more exciting. On NET-A-PORTER for $625.

Prada Patent Leather Chrome Heel Pumps: Royal purple pumps crowned with golden heels. Who needs a knight in shining armor when you have these? At Saks Fifth Avenue for $690.

Gianvito Rossi Pointed Toe Pump: Lilacs are symbols for love, so add a light touch of the floral hue to a powder blue pump, and you’ll have a sugary-sweet mix that can’t be beat. At Barneys New York for $545.

Salma Hayek wore some sexy Alexander McQueen Skull pumps to the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards on February 23. These black-suede, bad-ass pumps have gold-tone studding and skull with cut-glass detailing and a sky-high heel to send you into the rafters. These are obviously statement shoes, so wear them with a short LBD and some statement jewelry to really make them pop. Or go Selma’s route and pair them with a feminine, sweet dress to counter-act the edge. Personally, I would end up looking like a confused pirate if I tried to pull these off, but if you’re like Selma and can rock skulls with a straight face, pick these up at FarFetch for $892.

After Beyonce‘s Super Bowl halftime show, all the single ladies (and the taken ones, too) ran out and bought fishnet stockings. I call it the Sasha Fierce effect. This trend goes way beyond just the tights, though. Sure, mesh shoes are nothing new, but these five are clearly meant to emulate the allure of seductive fishnet. Conjure up your fantasies – these will do the rest of the work.

Christian Louboutin Pigaresille: I’ve been eyeing these for weeks! A lot of times, fishnet looks trashy, but Louboutin (and the rest of these top designers) crafted pumps for a true lady. At Barneys New York for $795.

Giuseppe Zanotti Lasercut Bootie: This bootie is a cage I wouldn’t mind slipping into. Giuseppe used honeycomb lasercut leather and placed mesh underneath to double the effect. At Barneys New York for $1,095.

McQ Alexander McQueen Mesh Cap Toe Pumps: With no fabric underlay, these McQs are probably the most true to fishnet of the bunch (and the most deliciously provocative!). On Shopbop for $450.

3.1 Phillip Lim Shirley Booties: Another shoe with double layers, but this time they’re mesh on top of mesh. Between that and the one-sided, curved leather panels, these shoes are full of surprises. On Shopbop for $695.

B Brian Atwood Michelet Mesh Booties: No one can pull off white fishnet tights, but white fishnet shoes? Somehow they just work (and if anyone disagrees, you can give them a little tap with your metal heels!). On Shopbop for $495.

I’m the first to celebrate this new deluge of shoes that have all the height and none of the pitch (or pinch!). There’s something about flats that just misses the mark with certain looks. Sometimes you need that extra elevation to properly display your outfit, so here are my five favorites for the job. With all of the va-va-voom you expect from heels but only minimal pain, every last one of these will end up in my closet by the end of the season!

Lanvin Snake-Print Wedge Sandals: Even wrapped in a grosgrain bow, these sweet as pie cork wedges can’t escape the venomous touch of scaly snake-print. You won’t do much slithering at this height, but you’ll definitely charm. On NET-A-PORTER for $845.

Carven T Strap Platform Sandals: These Carven sandals may be mixing colors and medias, but the message is clear: wear me all the time, everywhere! On Shopbop for $620.

Miu Miu Suede Wedge Sandals: Thanks to its subtly sloping pitch, these give 5 and a half extra inches to your frame. Think of all the things you could do with that (like finally reaching that top cabinet!). On NET-A-PORTER for $750.

Alexander McQueen Skull-Chain Espadrille Wedge Sandal: Espadrille wedges are typical summer fare, but with McQueen skulls the weave has new wings. At Neiman Marcus for $615.

Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Leather Wedge Sandals: A wedge with edge! Or rather, a wedgette. Bottega’s rich brown intrecciato leather coats these with slicked-up sophistication for a heel hybrid that will quickly convert strictly stiletto ladies to the dark side. On NET-A-PORTER for $850.

Each season, I choose one shoe that will set the tone of my wardrobe for the next few months. For SS13, it’s McQueen’s black perspex square pump. Dipping the plexi heel in metallic makes it look as if it’s liquid gold in glass. The delicious and nutritious way to start off a morning of world domination! They’re much classier than the heel you usually associate with perspex. It manages this feat with rich black suede, a subtle loafer style, and a gold cap-toe. Sublime – I’ll wear these with everything! Plus, it combines the pointy toe trend (without having a killer tip) with the crowd-pleasing platform. A win win! Available at Alexander McQueen for $1,795.

Pair with: Like, I said I plan on sporting these with most everything in my closet. But to start off, let’s go for Rodarte’s perforated bow bracelet (on Yoox for $250). A chunky metallic heel like McQueen’s calls for a chunky gold accessory.

I have full-on fuchsia fervor. These vibrant shoes are musts for spring! The bright shade can bring any outfit to life. It looks amazing when you wear all neutrals and then dazzle the senses with eye-searingly vivid heels. Plus, it’s fun to blur the lines between pink and purple and take a break from beloved Barbie pink. Here are the best fuchsia heels to put a spring in your step:

Giuseppe Zanotti Suede Crisscross Sandal: Metal and suede – the perfect cold and hard meets warm and soft contrast to incite excitement! With the metallic heel trend going strong, these fuchsia sandals are just what you need to spring. At Bergdorf Goodman for $650.

Alexander McQueen Runway Platform No-Heel Sandal: At 6 grand, I can’t imagine there were many takers. Now at 3k? A soft maybe. These aren’t the kind of heels you can wear out everyday. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $2,877 (from $6,395).

Jimmy Choo Anouk Metallic Leather Pumps: This is the way to have fun in fuchsia – with the metallic leather you get a funky, space age feel. Just don’t pull on any other shiny pieces and overdo it. At Saks Fifth Avenue for $650.

Christian Louboutin No Privé 120 Patent-Leather Slingbacks: If you want to go classic pinup girl, these Loubies are the shoes to choose. You could even curl some retro waves to really paint the picture. On NET-A-PORTER for $845.

Sigerson Morrison Slingback High Heels: This fuchsia fusion is the shoe version of a mullet – business in the front suede and party in the back snakeskin. Except these are actually socially acceptable and chic. On Shopbop for $425.

The snakes in the grass this spring will be your shoes! These sculpted McQ Alexander McQueen wooden wedges are decked out in black and white reptilian print for some height with bite. Snakes come out to play when the weather warms up, so warm up your color palette with a bright spring outfit. They can be tough to coordinate well (there is such a thing as too much of a good thing!), but luckily a natural snake goes with everything. Pair the curved wedges with Christopher Kane’s princess mini skirt (at Opening Ceremony for $1,185). The design is like a painter’s tray – tons of different colors to mix on this ladylike silk silhouette. Since the skirt is so loud (in the best way possible), make the shirt and bag simple. Rochas lace-trimmed silk top (on Net-a-Porter for $805) is nice and girly with a Peter Pan collar and just a few lean strips of lace. For the bag, Jil Sander’s geometric crossbody (pre-order on Forzieri for $880) will play well into the grays of the shoe and dress. But for the jewel, really challenge yourself with another multicolored piece like these Tom Binns Swarovksi earrings (on Net-a-Porter for $345). Every once in while it’s fun to give Rainbow Brite a run for her money! Available on Yoox for $335.

Black ballet flats are necessary basics. I love carrying around a pair in my car for quick changes. But the nature of basics means that they can be, you know – basic. These edgy updates have unusual dimensions and sometimes outright morbid embellishments (thank you, McQueen!) that’ll make them the prima ballerinas of your outfit – the kind Natalie Portman would wear on a dark day. So will you dance the Black Swan?

Chloe 10MM Leather and Satin Ballerina Flats: No, these aren’t regulation ballet shoes, but with the satin straps, they do look like it! The flats are available in classic pale pink, but that won’t match as much as the black – just another reason to go dark. On Luisa via Roma for $501.

Christian Louboutin Pigalle Spikes Patent-Leather Ballet Flats: The spikes on these patent Pigalles couldn’t do any real damage, but they’re definitely a good intimidation tactic. On Net-a-Porter for $995.

Lanvin Point: The sinister texture of watersnake is perfectly contrasted by just a hint of blood red ribbon trim. Simple enough to wear with mostly anything, but not a bit boring! At Barneys New York for $740.

Alexander McQueen Skull-Embellished Watersnake Ballet Flats: These classic black flats are crowned with McQueen’s signature skull for a knockout punch of attitude. On Net-a-Porter for $795.

Giuseppe Zanotti Plated Heel Ballet Flat: The guy behind you who steps on your heels will be sorry now! It’s not about offense, just defense. At Barneys New York for $575.

Yellow traffic lights may warn you to slow down, but the hot hue has me hitting the gas at full speed! The yellow trend is going strong for spring and has me craving even bright, fuller tints. I can’t get enough of them – neons, lemons, anything vibrant and citrusy! Just steer clear from wearing all black and looking like a bumblebee. Here are shoes for every occasion the diehard yellow fever fanatic might encounter:

Stella McCartney Faux Leather and Mesh Wedge Espadrilles: Spring break is almost here and what better way to let loose than in neon yellow mesh espadrilles? On Net-a-Porter for $430.

Rebecca Minkoff Bettina Neon Flat Sandals: Another great shoe for a beachy vacation! With the glare from the sun, you’ll need the most vivid sandals to stand out. On Shopbop for $165.

Ash Bowie Suede Wedge Sneakers with Canvas Inserts: Kind of a bold color for an already bold shoe, but with the proper styling, this zesty yellow is just what the doctor ordered. On Shopbop for $195.

McQ Alexander McQueen Studded Pointy Toe Flats: Yellow is considered a mood and confidence booster, so in these flats, you’ll literally be the life of the party. On Shopbop for $375.

Boutique 9 Justine Pump: The highlighter yellow shade of these Frugal Snob picks is patently perfect for a night out partying – anyone feel like going to a rave? At Nordstrom for $119.95.

Okay, Halloween may have been just last week, but I already can’t wait for Christmas! I am always open to receiving early Christmas presents! And when it comes to presents, it’s all about the wrapping. These rich-colored red bow pumps will get you in the spirit to carol all night long (as long as you don’t have to stand the whole time!). Depending on the style, bows can be sweet or sexy, so whether you want on the nice list or the naughty list, you’ll be wrapped and ready!

Alexander McQueen Lace-Up Snake Sandals: A lush red velvet ribbon ties this romantic look together! McQueen’s dark lavishness comes complete with a striking silhouette. On Net-a-Porter for $2,075.

Christian Louboutin Bow Bow: While the bows here aren’t what keep the shoe together, they are what set it apart. These heels are available in black, but red and gold are classic Christmas. At Barneys New York for $1,195.

Valentino Satin Couture Bow Pump: Wrapped in warm red satin, these sexy va-va-voom Valentinos are the gift that keeps on giving! At Saks Fifth Avenue for $745.

What else do you need? Nothing when you wear these crazy studded Alexander McQueens ($1,260)! Rather than go full-on gold plait, the use of studs creates a rock and roll aesthetic. Even the five-inch heels (curved ever-so-subtly for a sculptural silhouette) are covered in the things. With statement creations like these, all you need to do is slip into a gorgeous dress. You can go basic or big. Whichever way you choose, these daring shoes make it easy to impress!

1. Preen Line’s Virginia Stretch-Cotton Peplum Dress ($535): To start off, a simple number like this will keep all eyes on your fierce heels. A flattering LBD with a trendy peplum, this modern stretch dress is just begging to be blinged out.

2. Roland Mouret’s Wool-Blend Felt Dress ($2,000): If you want to vamp the pumps up a bit, this outfit will make you into a head-turning lady in red. An elegant design with an asymmetric neckline, the dress and its bold color are accented with a thin black velvet belt and tie fastening on the back.

3. Moschino’s Metallic Ribbon-Trimmed Crepe Dress ($3,195): Or you could go really shimmery with this ornately printed gold dress. Ruffled at the neck and cuffs, this flared black Moschino doesn’t shy away from attention, making it a perfect pairing for the wild McQueens.

All are available on Net-a-Porter.

When I think of stereotypical “sexy” boots, it’s hard not to picture Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, her black patent-leather boots reaching all the way up to her thighs. While Vivian got a 180º makeover, she would have been better off updating her hooker heels for a pair of these genuinely sexy boots. As in, sexy in a not-so demure way. These are “don’t F with me” boots for the diva in you, and we all have her somewhere, even if you don’t always let her show.

1. Damir Doma Black Metal Bar Wedge Boots: If you thought a wedge couldn’t be seductive, check out the badass metal bar curved around the front of these ankle boots. On Ssense for $1,275.

2. Barbara Bui Leopard-Print Calf-Hair Ankle Boots: The spots are drop-dead gorgeous, set off by a fierce silhouette that’s angular in all the right places. On Ssense for $1,200.

3. Dsquared2 Leopard Calf-Hair Wedge Boots: Or go just for a hint of sportiness. Dsquared2’s hot yellow laces announce you’re game for anything. On Ssense for $695.

4. Alexander McQueen Oxblood Leather Buckle Boots: Quintessential McQueen makes for revolutionary sex appeal, and that curved heel brings an edgy-meets-feminine element. On Ssense for $1,360.

5. Tabitha Simmons Abbey Boot: Nobody will mess with you in these moto-inspired stompers, with a shearling-lined panel to keep you warm while you’re kicking butt. At Barneys New York for $2,295.

These sandals are completely, certifiably insane. So how can you not love them? I, for one, am head over heels for Alexander McQueen’s latest heel-less wonders. It’s all about the overall effect, but one detail is more awe-striking than the next. And yes, awe-striking also means totally impractical. First of all, the fully bloomed appliqué flowers are made of real enamel, so they are hard and heavy. Add decadent tulle backing to these roses, plus palette accents, and it’s a gorgeous garden party.

Plucked right off the runway, these are the shoes you never imagined would make it to retail – which makes them that much more special. Sure, they are meant to be displayed in a museum case, but there’s nothing wrong with wearing them a couple of times. For very short periods of time. With that lack of heel (that still has you standing 6.5” taller), the extended platform, complete with metal horseshoe accent, is all you have to stand on. This style has been done to death by Zanotti and the like, so you might have no problem adjusting. Just be sure have a burly man handy to escort you, especially if you plan on going anywhere near the Meatpacking District. On Net-a-Porter for $7,520.

Fall might be hot on our heels, but I’m not ready to give up showing skin entirely. The best way to do it without a big reveal? The laser-cut shoe, punctured with care and deliciously, delicately suggestive. Just a hint of skin is all you need, and these precision-perfect cutouts make a smooth transition as the temperatures begin to fall.

1. Nina Ricci Laser-Cut Sandals: Nina’s spring hit looks bouquet-fresh now, and I’m liking the sweet price. Give them an autumn makeover with bold black tights.
On My Theresa for $446 (from $776).

2. Valentino Rose Laser-Cut Slingback Bootie: Roses get the tough-girl treatment in black leather, and that burst of mesh easing down the center? Too sexy for words.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $975.

3. Sergio Rossi Laser-Cut Sandal: Artistic lines and shapes bring a highbrow feel to this not-so ordinary stacked heel, in a shade of antique rose that’s perfect for this time of year.
At Barneys New York for $870.

4. Alexander McQueen Laser-Cut Patent Leather and Lace Peep-Toe Pumps: An audacious effect on a classic silhouette, the cutouts reveal fishnet lace.
On My Theresa for $568 (from $1,135).

Maybe it’s the eternal kid in me who associates September with “back-to-school” time, but it happens without fail. Whether you were subjected to a uniform of pleated skirts or not, fall and plaid will always go hand in hand. But instead of going all Catholic schoolgirl, trade in the typical prep-school vibe for a shoe that gives plaid a whole new connotation: Edgy! Strong! Sexy! These picks run the gamut, but all steer clear of conservative.

1. Christian Louboutin Intern Spiked Cap-Toe Plaid Loafer: The logo crest is pure camp on this slipper. How can you tell? A spiked-out cap-toe, of course.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $895.

2. McQ Alexander McQueen Patent Plaid Creepers: Take your plaid with a side of punk, and wear this dark tartan with a pair of slinky, cropped skinnies.
On Shopbop for $530.

3. Marni Plaid Flannel-Covered Leather Loafers: The most traditional of the bunch, these will be best worn with an itty-bitty miniskirt or a short leather sheath-dress.
On Net-a-Porter for $610.

4. Marni Calf and Tartan Lace-Up Shoes: Marni shoes they can also do plaid with a sense of humor. Grunge-inspired oxfords ought to be styled with a light degree of dishevelment.
On Luisa via Roma for $630.

5. Christian Loboutin Jenny 150 Tartan Slingbacks: Plaid rarely gets vamped up like this. This sexy slingback is made for lingering stares (and not for long walks).
On Net-a-Porter for $945.

Ominous skulls and curvy hearts might sound like doodles out of two opposing high-school girls’ notebooks (one goth and one cheerleader, to be really stereotypical), but only Alexander McQueen has the witty touch to make both feel genuinely badass and inherently chic. No skulls to be found here, but these are not your average goody-two-shoes hearts.

It’s the season of the pumped-up ankle boot, and shoes like these will have you inspired to flirt with your toes. Studded leather is nothing new, but this updated take on the cap-toe (with the gold-stud heart dashed off just before the point, for a look that’s unique) feels thoroughly mint. Especially with a curved heel and bent silhouette, which announces you may have love to give, but you don’t offer it to just anyone. At Bergdorf Goodman for $1,885.

Pair with: Induct a little rockstud bling to your studded-bootie hall of fame. The gold-tone base of this Valentino bracelet makes for a perfect metal match. On My Theresa for $818.

Crimson, oxblood, primary, and bordeaux: the color ranges from the subtle to the sensational, but Fall 2012’s best booties are all sexy and vampy. Red ankle boots are so good with all the black clothes we expect to see next season, so let the rest of your outfit remain neutral (or if you’re more daring, contrast and clash) and let your shoes make the statement.

1. Yves Saint Laurent Oxblood Leather Amarena Wedge Boots: In black, they are tough-girl chic. In oxblood, they are simply to die for. Wear these with everything from inky jeans to dresses of opposing hues, like cobalt or white.
On Ssense for $1,245.

2. Giuseppe Zanotti Peep-Toe Shoe Boot: Fierce and bright, sometimes you need to get straight to the point: a burst of red-hot suede that’s made to get noticed.
On Farfetch for $736.

3. Miu Miu Suede Bow Peep-Toe Bootie: This deep shade is the most whimsical by far. I would juxtapose these sweet, curvaceous booties with a pair of black leather leggings.
At Bergdorf Goodman for $790.

4. Alexander McQueen Oxblood Leather Buckle Booties: Bondage and equestrian themes meld seamlessly on these improperly British booties, packed with mesmerizing details.
On Ssense for $1,360.

5. Marc by Marc Jacobs Maroon Chelsea Booties: Keep it easy and casual, trading your black Chelseas for a pair with loads more personality. This heel is just enough to give some height, without putting you on an incline.
On Ssense for $450.
