Style File: Metal Capped Toe Heels

Fifty-five years ago Coco Chanel debuted a practical yet elegant pair of capped shoes that quickly transformed into an iconic staple of the times. Fast forward to 2012 and that same colorblocked style has inspired this season’s hottest heel trend, with an extra kick. The new-age capped toe mixes metallics with spikes, golds with leopards, and is often pointed rather than rounded. The sundry finishes and eye-catching combinations make it an alluring fall purchase, and its presence on the spring and fall 2012 Louis Vuitton runways only reinforce its staying power. Which pair will you be wearing this season?
