WHO TO CALL:

Fashion Editor
Layne Christensen

_ By Layne Christensen

YOU COULD be wearing the chicest designer suit or coolest clubwear
but the whole outfit will fall apart if you don’t step out in style,

Fashion doesn’t en! at your kneecaps,

This is especially true this winter when color and texture are making a
comeback in hosiery and fvotwear.

This season signals a return of luxury and glamor in fashion, so focus
on extending the look right down to your toes.

Nubby tweeds, cabled shetland, sensuous
bouclé and chenille require
something

as equally luxurious on your legs and feet. Same go
soft and slinky velvets and corduroys.
Forget the requisite flesh tone, dress your legs to match your outfit: — deep, inky tones of blue,
gray and amethyst; rich, dark cocoa; or bright reds, violets, and electric blue — whatever you're
wearing, go for head-to-toe tone on tone, .
Get a‘leg up on the mad-for-plaid trend,
Pull on a pair of over-the-knee argyle socks and lace up these
black leather booties (left) by Van and Li from Italy. A stacked
wood hee) and stylized tread sole are added details
Or slide on silky hose in a rich brown shade — look for
styles made with microfibre for added softness — and slip
on these super-soft caramel suede dress shoes (above) by
Nickels, also from Italy.
A high throat and loop detail at the vamp is balanced

by a pointed toe and feminine heel.
 Makis Shoes in Park Royat South carries these and
other European labels including Amalfi, Evan
Picone, Roberto Capucci, Caressa, Prevata, Stuart
Weitzman and Ran Coni. To celebrate its 18th

anniversary at the mall location, the store is offering customers

18% to 50% off its entire stock of shoes, boots and handbags.
