Jerome C Rousseau serpentine cherry red sandals

I think it's important to look out for brighter coloured shoes in winter because let's face it: you're not going to see much of that outside your window.

The site fills up with ever-so-useful black and brown footwear at this time of year, so let's not forget there are more colourful pieces available too -- and red is an ideal colour for matching with the more traditional, seasonal shades. This gorgeous style by Jerome C Rousseau is the colour of winter berries, and will bring you much festive cheer teamed up with some thick tights - if you can afford the £455 price tag at Net-a-Porter
