Kate Middleton’s gray heels are the one staple your closet needs

We all know the power of a good shoe. Walking down the street with a pair of your favorite pumps hitting the concrete is the soundtrack of being unstoppable. Believe us, the femme fatale comes out when your shoes finish off your outfit just right. Our favorite duchess, Kate Middleton, seems to know this, too, since she was seen rocking the perfect pair of gray Gianvito Rossi pumps this past weekend.

Kate proved that in all its fifty shade glory, this is one hue that’s here to stay.

Seriously, Kate Middleton knows how to wear a subtle statement shoe.

While the gray shoes may not be the hero piece of this look, along with Kate’s floral pin and asymmetrical hat, they work to offset her all-white ensemble. So next time you’re inspired to try a pair of neutral pumps, play it up and make them one of the focal points of your look. Wear an outfit in a contrasting color, grab a hat, and voilà! You’ll feel like Kate in no time.

Gray pumps are a step above your basic black and nude pumps. While they may not be as bold as a pair of red shoes, they still have a little sass. And whether you’re going for a high heel or a low one, you can always find something that fits your style.
