2022 Update: Here are our latest favorite sangria-colored heels and purple pumps for work!
Sure, we all know what basics professional women are supposed to have in their closets, but if you’re buying one for the first time or replacing one you’ve worn into the ground, it can be a pain to find exactly the right incarnation in stores. In “The Hunt,” we search the stores for a basic item that every woman should have.
Oxblood, burgundy, port, wine, sangria, claret — I’ve always thought this purpley/red wine-blood color is perfect for work shoes.
Wear purple pumps to work as a neutral with navy and black — add a tiny touch of color to light gray outfits — and have fun contrasting them with pops of yellow, bright blue, and bright red.
Ladies, do you wear purple heels for work? What exact shade is your favorite? Of the trendier styles (pointy toes, block heels), do you have a favorite? Do you have any favorite purple pumps from years past?

I love those Sam Edelman shoes with the spikes!

I ordered them during the NAS but returned them. Kinda boring. The spike part is plastic and the same color as the shoe.

These shoes all look burgundy on my computer?
HSAL
Yeah, our comments crossed. I even doublechecked the descriptions in case it was an issue with my monitor, but definitely not purple.
Cat
Same here. I have patent JCrew Valentinas (wish they would bring that style back!!) in this color and love them with navy, black, gray, etc. But I would never call them purple.

This is interesting to me – I adore purple shoes and think they’re very versatile, but I don’t actually consider any of these shoes to be purple. For me, burgundy is very different in terms of wardrobe mileage.

I agree, none of these count as purple in my book either, although they’re lovely. Now I finally understand all of Kat’s comments over the years about wearing purple pumps. Turns out, I do it too! Although under a host of other color names.
