Peep Toe Pumps – Take a Page From Bettie and Dare to Be Unforgettable

Peep toe pumps were introduced for the first time during the 1930s, so these shoes could ideally belong to the vintage collection. They became the epitome of high fashion when women chose to emulate pin-up model Bettie Page. She helped make peep toe pumps popular because together, Bettie Page and the iconic women’s shoe, represented sex appeal, power, boldness, and style. Today, the peep toe pump and Bettie Page are as relevant as ever. To make the point, the hottest music icons of today, Lady GaGa and Beyonce Knowles paid homage to Bettie Page a few days ago in their music partnership.

Today, they are again popular among women of all ages; especially today’s woman who wishes to impart a classic, but trendy look to the footwear of her choice. This can take the form of platform peep toes, wedges, high heels or stilettos. The versatility of these shoes is further evident from the fact they can be worn year round and with any type of outfit. Including satin outfits like Bettie Page wore.

Now, all that is left for the wearer to decide is the material of the shoe and the height of the heel. Having decided to acquire peep toe pumps, there are certain guidelines to be kept in mind by the buyer in order to derive the most possible benefits in terms of looks possible from this type of women’s shoe. The areas concentrate on while buying such shoes are the fabric, the cut, the details, as well as the design on the back of the shoe. While the choice of fabric depends on the climatic factors and existing weather conditions, the cut of the shoe should be chosen according to the comfort and taste of the wearer. In this regard, some women prefer to show only their big toe while some others do not really mind revealing two or maybe three toes. Yet, still others drive their men wild by showing toes and toe cleavage with a deep cut in the peep toe classics.

Since peep toe pumps possess a vintage charm, they provide an appropriate complement to modern dresses and tend to complete with old world nostalgia if combined with vintage costumes. While commonly worn with meticulously patterned dresses featuring ruffles and fluttered sleeves, they form an ideal combination with petite black dresses which can be universally worn for all occasions. A few more points which should be kept in mind by the wearer are the length of the dress, as well as the shape of the dress. In this regard, it is imperative for the wearer to bear in mind that due to the design of these shoes, they add grace to the woman by adding length to the leg. Hence, they also go well with a classic A-line dress, which features a longer skirt length.

Although, peep toe pumps are one of the few styles in footwear which can be worn all through the year, they are an ideal choice for evening footwear; especially when matched with a chic handbag and other accessories. Casual peep toe shoes blend well with jeans, leggings, and khakis. Conversely, they are perfectly congruent with the formal atmosphere at the office if well matched with one’s attire. Or, for a quiet (or not so quiet), unforgettable evening at home with your honey.

Bettie Page was a woman ahead of her times. She knew no matter what you wore underneath your clothes, no matter what you wore over your under garments…the most important accessory a woman could wear was peep toe platform pumps. They helped make Betty Page unforgettable and they can do the same for you.
