Somehow those born with a sliver spoon in their mouths are also born with the ability not to put their feet in there when it comes to the right way to wear designer shoes. Those with class - or the dosh to pay their own stylist to make it look like they have class - avoid the following footie faux pas.

Shoe No No Number One:


Never and I mean never, wear tights with open toed sandals. You might be invited to a wedding in Alaska and those peep-toe Jimmy Choos are perfect for your outfit. I don't care. They will harpoon you unless you have bare, prettily painted toes peeking from open toes.

Shoe No No Number Two:

 

Sticking with open toes for the moment, what is going on in the glossies these days? You'd think Manolo had decreed that his peep toe spikes were deigned to be worn with painted talons cliff-hanging off the open toe. It puts a whole new spin on the phrase, 'Get a grip!' with every starlet and wannabee's little piggies grasping on for dear life. Good grief! You'd think with all that cash they'd be able to afford shoes that fit.
 

Shoe No No Number Three:

 

You may find yourself bombarded with the hideous temptation to wear long socks and sandals soon. Really! In one of the horrendous outfits that she wears in 2008's Cashmere Mafia, Lucy Liu wears an eye-watering mish-mash of patterned jacket, white belt, long grey socks (that look like they may be cutting off the circulation just above the knee) and gold sandals. This is one fashion trend that hopefully will hit the cutting room floor before it is foisted upon the unwary. Resist, girls, resist!
 

Shoe No No Number Four:

Yes, we know leopard print pumps are now, but unless you  are striving for that Bett Lynch overblown barmaid look match them with plain beige, brown or black. And don't mix and match with other skin prints. Animal print layering will make you look like Sheena of the Jungle.
