The Fall Shoe Trend I Will Wear for the Rest of My Life
It’s true. I don’t care how old I am or how much fashion changes: I’ll never be willing to give up wearing crystal-embellished black heels—and I don’t think I’ll have to. Not just because embellished shoes tend to cost a good chunk more than simple styles and I’ll want to get the most bang for my buck. Not just because they’re the perfect accessory for people like me who have simple style but don’t want to look basic. No. It’s because they, thankfully, have major staying power that actually justifies the investment, too.
After all, while the style is particularly trendy right now, when you really look at it, it’s quite classic. In fact, I bet if I paid a quick visit to my mom’s closet, I’d find at least five pairs she’s had for years. Come to think of it, I should definitely do that, but I digress. To see and shop the best crystal-embellished black heels available right now, simply keep reading.
I just bought these and have already worn them so many times since.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
