All The Best Nude Pumps You Have To Invest In Now

Look taller and leaner with these magical pieces.

There’s really nothing like a pair of nude pumps.

Not only does the heel help to boost your height and make your gams look taut and toned, the flattering nude shade also blends in with your skin and adds to the illusion of a taller stature. We also love how the shade is so versatile that it can be worn with just about any garment, adding a classy finishing touch to your ensemble.

Like lipsticks, the colour “nude” has been loosely defined and varies between brands and styles, but they often centre around a palette of beiges, corals, slate greys and blush pinks. Choose one that complements your skin tone — whether it is warm, neutral or cool — and the depth, i.e. how light or dark-skinned you are, to fake as much height as possible. For example, if you have a dark and warm skin tone and you pick light slate grey pumps, you won’t be getting the maximum lengthening illusion because the shoe colour wouldn’t blend seamlessly with your skin.

As a general rule of thumb, warmer skin tones look best in gold shades and can be complemented with coral and warm beiges, while cooler tones look best in silvers and greys. Neutral toned people, take your pick according to your personal preference, because you look great in anything. 

Here are 16 of our favourite nude pumps at the moment.

Another iconic shoe brand is Christian Louboutin, known for its trademark red-bottomed shoes. Another must-have for your shoe collection, a pair of these are definitely worth the splurge. If you’re always complaining about painful toes, you might find the rounded almond toe of this glossy pair to be a more comfortable fit. Finish with a flirty lace midi dress for work.

Hangisi Nude Lace Jewel Buckle Pump, S$1,890, Manolo Blahnik

The Hangisi from Manolo Blahnik with its signature jewelled buckle was cemented into fashion history by Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City (who can forget when Mr Big proposed with a royal blue satin crystal buckle-embellished Hangisi pump?). Made with champagne-coloured lace, this pair is oh-so-feminine, but you can juxtapose the pretty silhouette with a leather jacket and skinny jeans.
