The Sartorialist

Nice symmetry between the blonde hair and the skin-toned shoes. Elegant. Simple. Just the way I like it.

Amazing nude heels. Love them!

her look is lovely.

i want those nude pumps.

Normally I think leggings are boring, but she has the perfect legs for them. Also I love that she wore nude heels. I would have expected black, but they are a good surprise.

one word … gorgeous!!!

she has killer legs :)

Wonderful !!! I’ m an italian boy,if you’ re looking for a boyfriend just tell me… you’ re so beautiful !!!

normal;like the shoes

NICE ankles

She is a beautiful woman. Nice to see the trickle of color from beneath her un-buttoned jacket. When I see high heels like this, I can only regret problems these young women will have with their feet in years to come, (speaking from experience). The combination of the black outfit, blond hair and shoes, and the touches of red and green in the background are wonderful. Thanks!

Nice smile, but the shoes make her feet look really big.

not very creative, but very lovely nonetheless.
insanely covetous ankles.

The shoes and leggings are pretty good. But otherwise this is sort of boring midtown Americana. Wouldn’t it be great if she had, oh, a crewcut or something?

I’m getting tired of these ultra-high pumps. So unpractical for walking around the streets of New York.

very elegant, but why those terrific shoes?

Where do I get nude pumps like these? I have been looking for some for months, if not years!

I love everything until I get to the shoes. Her feet look out of portion to the rest of her, almost certainly due to shoe choice. She has truly lovely lines though; one of the few who could make leggings look so good.

You know it’s New York when black is the predominant color

I have those shoes and they are actually pretty comfortable for 5″ heels. They get loads of compliments too. As for those who are tired of seeing ultra high heels, don’t buy them then. They aren’t going anywhere, so good luck! Nothing makes your butt higher and legs hotter than those shoes.

Ooooo, her legs and feet look so Cyd Charisse dancer sexy. Love how the black is broken up with the nude shoes and the tee underneath. Is this New York’s idea of Spring Knocking?

I like the coat a lot, don’t mind the leggings, think she looks great.
I happen to be wildly against these recent years of super high heels, for all the reasons mentioned by others. They sometimes make me think of chinese foot binding in passing. I don’t even think they look that great, though I’ll agree high heels make the leg look good, but that is true of lower heights also. When the super high heels are in combo with the lolita-pigeon toe positioning (which they aren’t here) then I really roll my eyes. These are two fads I am hoping to see less of as people look for the next new thing.

I’m with Amy. Yes, the shoes are pretty (LOVE the nude with black) but why is no one making something similar with a (walkable!) 3″ heel???

she’s so preety with the smile… :)

The look is simple but also very feminine and sexy and that is defintely not a bad thing!

12:34pm — where can I get those shoes?! they’re absolutely perfect (and they don’t look too tall, either…I spy a small hidden platform?)

Perfection. I don’t know why people are saying that it is boring or to be expected–look around you; look at the people walking on the street behind her; have any of them achieved this? Do they get the proportion right? The hang of the coat just so? The details like the seaming on the coat, the lovely collar, the crispness of the fabric?

No, they don’t; in contrast they look like–sorry to say–slobs.

She is sharp but not overdone. And I wouldn’t judge her “all black”–not all black in my opinion if your top and shoes aren’t black–until we see her everyday. And what then if she sticks to black on a daily basis? If you can do mostly black this well you should be let off the hook of being accused of being “uncreative.”

I walk around cities all day long and I couldn’t do it in these heels–but where is she going? I’ll do it for a short time period or a special occasion. And who knows, maybe she just changed into them; or maybe she is cabbing or driving/being driven today, which would make the shoes much easier to deal with. I mostly ride my bike, and I can do so in sky high heels.

She is chic and simple, current and classic. She may not be wearing a tutu and kiss shoes, but I suspect that the negative comments come from jealousy, because she has the type of flawless look that most are prone to envy, and then say they prefer to be “creative” as a cover up (while they sit typing in jeans and a predictable t-shirt…).

I will never get used to pale shoes on a dark leg…. looks terrible!

She has FANTASTIC legs… then they end in rather large looking shoes… a black shoe would have punctuated the ankle far better… I’m with Audrey Hepburn on this one!

very beautiful girl. I have similar coloured shoes that I usually reserve for pastely outfits and have never considered pairing them with all black. Great idea, I’ll be sure to try it.

i LOVE the play of light on her hair, and her shoes, and i can almost taste the lovely on her knees. the coat is soooooo black, and her calves are to die for…
the purse even, it is soooooo rad.
even the out of focus buildings in the background just add so very much to this photo. i mean, i just want to die it is soooooo beautiful and she is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to gether. i love love love this look. does anyone know who makes the shoe? i just have to have. I also have to have the coat and the hair and her makeup and i am drooling over the concrete pavement. does anyone know who laid the pavement? a must have for my home….

I’m in love! :)

Anonymous at 3:27 – You’d be quite bored if I gave a speech about stilettos every time they aggravated me in a fashion shoot photo, or every time others rave about how amazingly wonderful they are – which is very often, nearly day after day on the Sartorialist.

I don’t meant to pick on this lovely woman. I do want to vocalize about my lack of delight in them every sos often,

WHAT BRAND ARE THESE…NEED THEM, DYING!

i would rub and massage her feet after a long day in those heels.

i love the nude heels!! <3
i have a similar pair with slingbacks =)

Great combination of black and nude. She looks fantastic.

Holy cow look at this woman’s outfit. I love her legs + the coat so much!

Definitely a woman that I’d stare if I came across her. Amazing~

i love the nude pumps. ive been searching for the perfect pair for ages now.

Wow those pale pink shoes are absolutely perfect with this black outfit. They are the finishing touch that take this outfit from nondescript to ‘wow’.

The blond yeah like it

I was stunned by the beauty of this one until I scrolled to the shoes. A really really lovely look however but the shoes are incongrous.

jeans and a tee shirt are a classic look!

and just with writing as in fashion, it’s not the what you wear or say, baby, it’s how you do!

please always remember that. it’s one of the things in life that underlines true beauty and grace.

are you kidding? SPANDEX?
however, a nude shoe is always great.

Ohhhhh, Myyy, God. If I ever make a lot of money, and I can afford to pull up next to a woman in a limousine…I want this to be the woman I pull up next to. I love the leggings. I have recently been enjoying leggings on the ladies. Nice shoes too.

I’ll be on stalker mode next time I’m on 57th St.

well guys, hate to be the spoiler, but these shoes are steve madden. i cannot tell a lie. (i own them…and run around nyc in them…and have to say they are shockingly comfortable.) sorry to the lovely lady in your shot for outing her secret!

This outfit is the perfect mix of classic prep and edge, I’m obsessed. I spent and hour online searching for those shoes, thank you whoever said who they are! Definitely just ordered them, definitely rocking them until I collapse.

Most amazing trenchcoat ever!
I love the way it falls to the PERFECT length…
Fantastico

Black outfit with a colored shirt and a nude high heel shoe. Simple, elegant and well worn. She has a beautiful smile. Clearly she has effortless style.

absolutely stunning!

Maybe she is the best here

nice legs

uau peoples..
she is very very very very wonderful..
i loved her shoes.

This is great.

Wow, I gotta get me some nude pumps for summer!

Why are short women so fascinated with super high shoes? They’re not fooling anyone ;)

Not trying too, high heels are sexy and tall women can’t pull them off like a petite beauty.
All these women complaining they are too high, sorry to say but 3″ers will never look as good as ultra high heels. There is something so feminine and so sexy about high heels :)

Leggings=BAD. Shoes= Good. And yes, they are Steve Maddens, but who cares, they are gorgeous! (and affordable)

I can’t wear high heels but if I COULD I would.

If she wants to ignore the pain and have back problems, that’s up to her. She still looks great. And who knows, she might just be a pro at walking in heels – no issues at all!

The only thing I will say is to the people (ANON at 12:22 AM) who say you can ONLY be sexy in heels higher than 3 inches: I’d like to see you try and be sexy in flats.

Every woman is sexier in high heels but only special women can make flats look sexy.

it’s to the lady’s credit for making a simple and, from what i gather from the other posts, not very expensive heels something to covet; and it’s to the sartorialist’s credit for having captured the essence and share it to the blogosphere. this blog’s followers are amazingly knowledge-able.

AAAHHHHHH. Beautiful. Simply beautiful

i love her positoning and the collor up and hair swept back gives her a casual, but put together look

Oh my god – hair color, trench, shoes? Too perfect for words.

beautiful and seems to hurry by…

Love the coat plus leggings outfit and the nude shoes. But just looking at the height of those heels already makes my feet hurt.

Always, always a nude heel! I prefer mine pointy, but these rock too. Re comment above about suffering later due to sky-hi heels – am there, after 20 yrs of wearing them. Plan on going to the doctor, operating whatever if needed – then hopping back on. Live/die by the sword.

she looks great! I’d like that coat.

Hermosa muy hermosa ademas muy buen estilo,rodrigo

wow! that is kill hill!!!

beautiful

Wow! The boots are fantastic and they really match with that black costume and she looks awesome…. Good post…

I gotta' agree with Jessica (4:25).

This woman looks amazing!

Yes, we've all seen the NYC "heels and black" thing done to death
but,

Look at her!

The hair, her smile, the coat, the leggings, her legs, and to pair all that up with nude pumps? She is killing the game. Jessica wrote it best, 'look at the people in the background'; go out onto the streets tonight in your American town' you will see absolute slobs by comparison.

She looks awesome!

Those shoes have a platform in the front. so they are just like a three inch heel. very comfortable. its not the height that matters, its the steepness of the arch.
Thats said…glorious look. Simplicity is the most elegant, beautiful thing there is.
