Tamaris Black Comb kitten heel slingback

This Tamaris kitten heel slingback in Black Comb pairs a woven black, white and beige check with a sparkling jewelled brooch on the toe. It's a dressy shoe with a low heel, ideal for weddings, christenings, dinners out or adding a bit of polish to your work wardrobe.

Design and materials

The upper is a woven fabric that, up close, blends black, ecru and tan threads with the odd glint of gold. The pointed toe is topped with a cluster of clear, smoky and champagne-coloured stones in a gold-tone setting. The heel is left open and held by a slim black strap, and the inside is a warm tan shade.

Fit and heel

The back strap fastens with a small side buckle, so you can adjust it to keep your heel secure as you walk. The slim, low kitten heel gives you a little lift without pushing as much weight onto the ball of the foot as a high heel would, which helps when you're on your feet for hours at a celebration. The toe is pointed, so if you have wider feet it's worth trying the size carefully.

How to wear it

The check works like a neutral with character. Try it with black cropped trousers, as in the photo, with plain dresses in black, white or camel, or with a trouser suit. For a daytime wedding, pair it with an ecru midi dress and a black bag; for the office, go for dark straight-leg jeans and a blazer.
