Feet First

When it comes to putting together a great outfit, we’ll be the first to admit that often times we start from the ground up. Moving into winter, it is only natural that our first instinct is to reach for a gorgeous pair of boots—or ten—but that doesn’t mean other forms of footwear are escaping our radar. Meet our shoes du jour, a pair of head-turning mesh-paneled sandals from Buraky Uyan.

Formerly a designer at Giambattista Valli, Burak Uyan knows a thing or two about shaping high-fashion pieces. Drawing inspiration from architecture, sculpture and organic shapes, the Turkish designer handcrafted an unforgettable debut collection, which includes today’s statuesque sandals. Available in an insanely sexy shade of jet-black, as well as a fetching mustard-yellow hue, we’d love to see them teamed with a little black dress, opaque tights and a chic faux fur coat. Add a fun clutch and you’ll be ready to rock from head to Zoe!

Availability: Burak Uyan Sandals ($890-$980, available at Saks Fifth Avenue stores nationwide). Collection also available on Netaporter.com and Luisaviaroma.com.
