With the gothic chic trend about to dominate our wardrobes next season, it’s a good idea to bag your self a pair of show-stopping sultry shoes as soon as they hit the shops (ie now!).

The highstreet are offering an abundance of styles and you can bag yourself a pair for as little as £16! The key aspects to look for are patent leather, lace up bows, gladiator repetitive lines, ruche-ing, peep-toes, height and a hint of naughtiness – to name a few!

Here are my top 6 sexy shoes for the gothic chic trend; I had to start with Firetrap’s gorgeous ruche lace shoe boot [1] – the ruched front will give the impression of elongating the leg and you can team with anything from skinnies to skirts. Office’s All night Croc’s [2] are to die for and perfect for the trend - their traditional T bar style gives the impression of good behaviour but their peep-toes and serious killer heels ruins the illusion – these are a pair of bad boys.

Boohoo’s black patent ribbon tie gladiator heels [3] have it all going on, and why not. They will look great tied over the top of super skinnie jeans or showing off over opaques teamed with a micro tulip skirt. At just £25 these are my top favourite. New Look’s patent ankle boots [4] with their multi strap buckles are right on trend as are Topshop’s patent shoe boot [5]. Matalan storm in at the end with their cheap-as-chips Glam Rock Shoe Boots [6] for just £16! Don’t miss out!
