Peep toe pumps are the height of fashion at the moment, but it was actually in the 50s that they were first popular, when legendary pin-up model Bettie Page started wearing them. Bettie Page had the look that many women wanted, and what better place to start than with the shoes. Even today, Bettie Page is an influential figure. To make the point, the hottest music icons of today, Lady GaGa and Beyonce Knowles paid homage to Bettie Page a few days ago in their music partnership.This style of shoes is a retro classic, which has been brought right up to date. Whatever way you like to dress, there will be a suitable peep toe shoe for you. High heels, platforms, stilettos, etc. – You really are spoilt for choice! The versatility of these shoes is further evident from the fact they can be worn year round and with any type of outfit.Now, all that is left for the wearer to decide is the material of the shoe and the height of the heel. Look around online for some pictures of them and make a note of what you like. This may take you a while though, due to the wide range and variety available. The differences principally come in fabric used, the design on the back, and how large the ‘peep hole’ at the front is.Since peep toe pumps possess a vintage charm, they provide an appropriate complement to modern dresses and tend to complete with old world nostalgia if combined with vintage costumes. They look equally as good with floral, summer dresses as they do with stylish black party dresses. Whatever the occasion in question, there will surely be a peep toe shoe suitable for it.
