JIMMY CHOO

Choosing Jimmy Choo shoes

Start with the heel. The house numbers its styles by heel height in millimetres, so a Romy 60 is a low, walkable heel, a Romy 85 the everyday height and a Romy 100 the full evening heel. The Romy is the classic pointed pump; the Azia and Saeda bring satin, mesh and crystal for evenings; the Bing and other mules slip on; and the Diamond trainers are the everyday pair.

Jimmy Choo for a wedding

Jimmy Choo is a natural choice for a wedding, because the house makes heels in ivory satin, lace and crystal that suit a wedding dress without looking bridal for the rest of your life. For a bride, consider a heel you can stand in all day: an 85 rather than a 100, or a block heel for grass. For guests, the Bon Bon bag and a jewelled sandal are the easy evening pairing. Our What to Wear to a Wedding edit has the full outfits.

Bags

The Bon Bon is the signature: a small bag with a jewelled or crystal handle, made in satin, suede and shearling. The Cinch is the everyday shoulder bag, and the evening clutches carry the crystal work of the shoes.

What it costs

Across the 780 Jimmy Choo pieces in our edit, prices run from £165 to £5,550. Flats, trainers and small leather goods start the range; crystal-embellished shoes and evening bags sit at the top. Prices are checked daily against the store that sells each piece, and you buy from that store directly.
