They're a go-to for weddings, cocktail events, holiday parties, and any occasion that calls for a shoe that does something. Browse the full women's heels collection for more colour options.

Gold metallic heels are the most versatile metallic because they pair with warm dress colours (red, navy, emerald, burgundy, champagne, ivory) and cool ones (black, white, grey). Silver metallic heels pair best with cooler dress colours such as, white, blush, light blue, lavender, grey, and navy. Against a black dress, silver adds a cooler and more modern contrast than gold. Bronze and copper metallic heels sit between gold and brown, pairing most naturally with earthy and autumnal dress colours such as, rust, olive, cream, caramel, and burgundy. Rose gold heels have the warmest metallic tone, pairing cleanly with blush, dusty rose, champagne, white, and ivory dresses.
Metallic leather holds its reflective finish more consistently across an evening than coated synthetic materials. Worth checking the material description for event shoes with extended wear.
For formal events, metallic strappy heeled sandals or pumps in gold or silver are the most versatile starting point since they work with nearly every dress colour and read appropriately dressed up. For more casual events or holiday parties, metallic block heels or kitten heels in gold or rose gold bring the shine with more stability and comfort. For a monochromatic statement, match a metallic heel closely to the dress colour, for example, gold heels with a champagne dress, silver heels with a grey or ivory look.
