The 8 Shoes Olivia Palermo Keeps in Her Closet — and You Should Too

Even Olivia, who errs on the side of polished ensembles, knows that a cool pair of kicks is an outfit game-changer. Unlike the pair you reserve for gym days, these are meant for roaming the streets in style, whether you add them, like Olivia, to leather pants or play up the sporty vibe with a contrasting day dress.

You'll see Olivia pulling out a variety of heels with tassels, colorblocked, or in a single brilliant hue to brighten up everything from sundresses to Fall coats. You'll be glad you have a pair on hand to make even your simplest outfits stand out from the pack.

A leg-elongating heel in a neutral shade that's closest to your skin tone will help create the illusion of longer stems every time you slip them on. Plus, they'll go with everything already in your closet. The proof? Just check out Olivia giving her gams a boost in this short suit.

Olivia's Fall wardrobe relies heavily on a pair of staple boots that she can stomp around in at Fashion Week and beyond. You'll catch her front row, styling minidresses with over-the-knee styles or working a more subtle vibe by pairing them with a longer hemline. A pair like this will become your go-to from Fall to early Spring.

There are few things you can't wear with black booties like Olivia's. Whether you opt to throw them on with a skirt and top or keep things simple with jeans and a tee, these are the shoes you'll turn to again and again, all year round.

Whether she's styling a dress for an event or shorts for a day off-duty, Olivia has a soft spot for functional, classic ballet flats. She's been seen wearing these everywhere from the beach to the red carpet for years, and there's a good reason: they go with everything and they won't ever kill your feet. If you don't yet have a pair, it's time to stock up.

On the flip side, sometimes you just want to glam up for a big occasion — and that's where a great pump comes in. Look for a classic pair, like Olivia's in black, that will never go out of style. Like Olivia, you might come to rely on these with everything from short skirts to give you a leg up with your flared jeans.

Unlike ballet flats, a pair like this lends a cool menswear counter to pretty dresses or plays right into the laid-back vibe of a suit like Olivia's. Look for a flatform or creeper to give you a lift, or keep things classic with a flat oxford you'll keep for years to come.
