Les escarpins

Les escarpins

by Justine - April 23, 2023

The word « escarpins » comes from the root « scarpa », shoes in Italian. The verb « escarpiner » also means « to run with the gèreté ». It's quite a paradox when you consider that, unless you're trained, it's rather complicated to run in pumps!

 

A pair of escarpins à high heels, it's a bit of a must-have in women's footwear in terms of féminité and chic attitude. The most important thing is to feel comfortable and at ease in your shoes, even with a pair of heels.

 

Here are 3 outfit ideas with pumps;

 

  • For a super feminine look, opt for a denim or leather skirt, a short wrap dress, a tight cigarette skirt or a skater skirt. 
  • For an ultra trendy look, opt for denim overalls, a jumpsuit, slim or 7/8 jeans.
  • For a super chic look, slip your pumps under a loose trouser/blazer ensemble.
