While bows can be associated with dressing little girls, they can also look very elegant and grown-up when worn in the right way. Plus, shoes with bows on them are very on trend for winter and fall 2020.
Pewter flats
If you love a minimal way of dressing and shoes with embellishments aren’t really your cup of tea, how about choosing a metallic pair instead and adding some texture. The Marc Fisher loafers (below) feature an on-trend reptilian print.

A little draping can be wonderfully flattering when it comes to your clothing choices, and can also look beautiful worn on your shoes.
