Patent leather defines this edit: a high-gloss, lacquered finish that reflects light rather than absorbing it, giving a flat surface more visual depth than plain leather ever manages. Most of the range is built from patent leather uppers on a cowhide base, with a handful of styles pairing patent panels against plain leather or suede for contrast rather than shine throughout. Every pair is lined in lambskin, which keeps the polished exterior from feeling stiff against the foot.
Heels make up the bulk of the range, from low block heels through to a run of higher styles, all with the same structured shine that reads as smart rather than casual. Buckles, straps and ruched panels are the most common finishing touches, adding shape to the glossy surface without competing with it. Ballerinas and Mary Janes carry the finish into flatter, more versatile territory, and a small run of sandals brings it into warmer-weather dressing. For styling patent through the working week, Office Routine and Urban Oasis both cover patent heels in practice. Browse heels and Mary Janes for the styles with the most patent leather on offer, or all shoes for the wider PAZZION range.
How to Style Patent Leather Shoes
Patent leather shoes can add a polished finish to both simple and sophisticated outfits. Pair black patent leather flats or loafers with tailored trousers for work, or style them with jeans and a shirt for a smart-casual look.
For evening and occasion dressing, patent leather heels can complement dresses, skirts and tailored separates. Patent leather Mary Janes can add a feminine touch to both casual and polished outfits.
Because patent leather has a naturally glossy appearance, it can also be paired with matte fabrics such as cotton, wool, denim and knitwear to create contrast between textures.
