Topshop's Gucci Style Sandal

High street version of designer 'it' pieces are never quite as sleek at the originals, but in some ways, that's good news with the many sandals that are hitting the shelves as affordable alternatives to Gucci's low cut caged platforms. The heels on the cheaper offerings like Topshop's black patent sandals (left, £50) are far more practical even if they're not quite as uber sexy as the sky-high originals (£430, right).
