But the rich grandma look didn’t end there, because poking out from underneath the silky jacket were a pair ofare back, and Fanning’s all-black black pumps felt like the most wearable take on the posh trend. While many are reaching for, hers featured a closed back for added security. Plus, the heel was probably less than one-inch tall. I know calling a pair of heels “practical” feels silly, but these are, well, just that.
The black grandma heels were the perfect finishing touch to her red-hot coat, but I also love the idea of pairing the style with more everyday pieces, including trousers and midi skirts. And, for spring and summer, I’m personally planning to grab a creamy white and/or a soft pastel pair to elevate my favorite light-wash denim.
Fanning convinced me that grandma heels are a practical, easy way to make any look feel a little more luxe. Shop more styles inspired by her shoes, below.
