Shoe Clips for Instant Style

Woman looking down at shoes with shoe clips

If you haven’t tried them yet, now’s the time to learn how to style with shoe clips. These little accessories are small in size but major in impact. As a top personal stylist for executives, I use how to style with shoe clips as a quick, elegant solution to elevate even your most basic pumps or flats. Whether you’re refreshing your footwear or adding some edge to a classic heel, how to style with shoe clips is your shortcut to modern polish—without buying a single new pair of shoes.

Shoe clips give your shoes a new lease on life!

They are meant to provide instant zhush and create something new with visual interest. In this case, I needed to attend a holiday awards dinner, and while regular heels would have worked, the customized feather shoe clips added just a little extra in recognition of the occasion and season.

You do NOT have to go as feathery as I did, but even small ones can change the trajectory of your footwear for the better. I’m going to share a few that I ow,n but also some ones you might want to consider depending on your style and need.

  1. Gold bluette shoe clips
  2. Silver crystal shoe clips (I travel with these to dress up my flats)
  3. Bow shoe clips
  4. Butterfly shoe clips (similar to what a client purchased for her fairytale wedding)
  5. Multicolored crystal clips

Besides bringing new life to your footwear, the benefits of shoe clips are also that they are an inexpensive way to have a new shoe, make after-hours dressing or zhushing easier, and they travel very well.

Sidenote: when I travel overseas, I am on the lookout for new ones, so let me know if you find something cool! They are a style trick I’ve been using for years – even to jazz up my holiday looks!
