These Chic, Anti-Flat Shoes Make Black Trousers Feel So 2025

We all have certain pieces that we rely on to carry us up to a week. My favourite shirt, a reliable blazer, and of course, black trousers. However, their reliability can sometimes change to predictability. That’s where styling begins. Especially the shoes you choose. Because, as Zoë Kravitz just proved, proper footwear has the power to make even the simplest pants feel infinitely directional.

Found in London, Kravitz wore a pair of simple legs in black pants skimming. There’s no complexity or trend-driven. Until I look down. Avoiding the expected worn trainers and simple ballet flats, she enhanced her appearance with a shiny black stiletto featuring a peer-inspired design.

A few years after the fashion era, Peeppeace heels have returned firmly in 2025. Having raided the runway over the past few seasons and seeing the support of many celebrities over the past few months, bare toes have once again felt fresh.

What makes black trousers such a reliable foundation is its ability to adapt. Like a blank canvas, they shine without putting “too much” into a trend-driven piece room. That means I can lean on my statement shoes and feel the overall effect is still balanced.
