These Shoes Have Reignited Dhani's Love for Slingbacks

They're the first of what will likely be many purchases from this French Instagram brand.

Several years ago, before the Chanel and Dior ones happened, I had a pair of slingbacks from Topshop that I loved literally to death. They collected compliments everywhere I went and had the power to instantly dress up any outfit while still feeling effortless thanks to their croc-effect material and chunky heels. Of course, being from Topshop, they didn't last too long and I haven't been able to find anything similar since... until now.

Clearly my shoe tastes don't change very much (see: the 283947 pairs of black ankle boots I've written about for this column) because another pair of croc-effect, chunky-heel slingbacks have inspired a similar kind of joy in me years later. These are by a new-ish French brand I discovered on Instagram called Musier Paris. They stock many things I'd like to add to my wardrobe — most of which are surprisingly affordable — but I truly couldn't resist these shoes (despite being forced to pay a lot more for shipping than I have in recent memory).

Yes, they're a little like The Chanel Ones, but not so similar that they feel like a copy or overly trend-driven. As open-toe shoes start to feel less practical or appropriate, I can see these becoming my go-to for any time I want to wear a tasteful heel, whether it's with a long slip dress, some nice trousers or jeans.
