We’ve spotted Jessica Alba wearing Schumacher peep-toe booties a lot lately, and in fact, it’s a trend that’s growing among non-celebrities too. Peep-toe booties are seen, particularly in year-round warm climates like L.A., as a transitional wardrobe piece. They’re more substantial than pumps, yet a bit sexier than traditional ankle boots. That means you can pair them with lots of casual looks, from floaty dresses to skinny jeans.

Peep-toe booties let you get away with wearing spring pieces a bit earlier than you normally would, because they add a bit of winter gravitas to your lighter pieces. We’ve seen them with leggings and dress combinations, including layered, off-the-shoulder looks. You can even include them in your work wardrobe, by wearing them with a work-casual cardigan and pencil skirt, with matching tights.

Would you wear this trend?
