What: A pair of crocodile-pattern and patent faux-leather pumps from Vera Wang’s Simply Vera collection at Kohl’s.
Why: A solid black pump is hard to come by, and to find a chic, well-made one at an approachable price point is virtually unheard of. The Wang stamp of approval means a lot here, as does the stylish croc detailing.
How: Rock them with your favorite pair of jeans for an instantly stylish work-appropriate outfit.
