- 1). Find a pair of black and white spectator stilettos that is suitable for evening. One of the designers most known for spectator pumps is Coco Chanel, according the article "Loco About Coco's Brand," as black and white is a concurrent theme in the fashion house's collections. However, Chanel shoes aren't mandatory, as many designers offer their own versions of the two-toned shoe. Thus, many evening shoe choices are available that reflect various personal styles and budgets.
- 2). Select a little black dress that is figure flattering. Stiletto pumps can be a perfect accoutrement to a cocktail dress and are often seen on the runways of designers, such as New York-based Betsey Johnson. Her past collections have featured the shoe with every length of skirt, from mini to calf-length, but the style really accentuates a flirty dress. Pairing spectator pumps with a short cocktail dress --- especially one with a lot of movement, such as a flouncy skirt or fringe --- helps evoke the free spirit of the 1920s in a modern way.
- 3). Accent the evening look with strands of chunky pearls. Dramatic shoes, such as the stiletto, pairs with statement jewelry to add balance to an outfit. Jewelry that is big and bold allows the wearer to easily add an air of confidence and drama to a cocktail dress, according to Chloe Findlay-Harder in her article "How to Wear Statement Jewelry." An easy way to wear chunky jewelry is to pick up the colors in the outfit. Thus, a chunky pearl necklace could pair well with the spectator, playing off the white portions.
- 4). Carry a bright clutch purse to add a punch of color to the duo-toned outfit. Stylists use jewel or electric-colored purses to add sparkle and life to monochromatic outfits, says Sylvia Rubin in her article "Personal Style: Tips From the Mundane to Marvelous." This rule of thumb can also be applied to accessorizing spectator pumps, as a colorful accessory may pump up the neutral black-and-white combination. An electric blue or pretty plum-colored evening bag can be the final touch to a spectator shoe-themed look.
