Check out the hottest trends, tips on how to wear them.




  1. Cap-Toe Heels PAIR THEM WITH ... skirt suits and wool trousers with cashmere turtleneck sweaters.

Home in on the color of the toe cap and pick up that hue in what you wear.At left: Wool and patent-leather slingbacks by Justsweet, $115 Don Penny

  2. Ankle Boots PAIR THEM WITH ... skinny jeans, long tunics or sweaters. An absolute no-no: ankle boots with knee-length skirts or dresses, unless you wear opaque tights to match.LOOK FOR ... fun accents like zippers, fur trims, cuffs and a spot of bright color. Don?t hide those details with long, wide pants; these styles are meant to be shown off.At left: Patent leather ankle boots by Studio Pollini, $475; saks.com

Both sheer and opaque hosiery work beautifully; alternatively, punch up a tuxedo pantsuit.LOOK FOR ... subtle gold detailing in trims to pick up the glint in metallic clothes. Calf skin, suede and patent leather can easily transition from day to night.At left: Suede heels by Nine West, $89; ninewest.com
