Sneak some more flats into your wardrobe with a "borrowed from the boys" pair of Oxfords or smoking slippers. If you work in a conservative work environment, save these for casual Friday and pair them with dark, tailored denim. Pictured are Esquivel Davis Wingtip Oxfords, $600 and J.Crew Georgia Suede Tassel Loafers, $168.

Dressed Up Sneakers
The aforementioned casual Fridays are tricky territory when it comes to dressing for the workplace. You want to look casual, but not sloppy. Luckily, sneakers are having a moment in the fashion world, and there are plenty of dressed-up versions to choose from. Look for leather pairs like these Lanvin Metallic Textured Leather Sneakers, $595 (pictured) or these Gap Snakeskin Textured Slip-On Sneakers, $50.

Wedges
When you want the long-legged effect heels give, wedges should be your go-to. While we love the summery look of cork wedges or espadrille-style wedges, a leather pair is much more appropriate for the corner office. The metallic accents on these Balenciaga Studded T-Strap Wedge Sandals, $995, tell people you mean business. For a less spendy option, Vince Camuto Signature Solanna Wedges, $180, in camel leather are extra sophisticated.

Ankle Strap Heels
The barely-there sandal trend has surfaced everywhere lately, and we're not complaining. Ankle strap heels look just as good paired with a business-forward pencil skirt as they do with skinny jeans on the weekend. Look for patterns that act as neutrals, like cheetah print or snakeskin.
Okay, you may not be wearing a pair of rainboots around the office, but they are essential. Nothing's worse than coming into work with rain- or snow-damp shoes, leaving you with freezing cold feet for the rest of the day. These Hunter Original Tall Gloss Rain Boots, $135, will keep your feet dry and toasty during your morning commute.
You've heard it a dozen times -- dress for the job you want, not the job you have. As a career woman, it's important to have a wardrobe you feel confident and powerful in. But at the same time, you don't want to throw every element of your personal style in the trash for uniform style. To strike the perfect balance, we've compiled a list of the 13 shoes every career woman should have. These shoes complement every outfit in your work wardrobe, are professional and sophisticated, and still leave room for your own style interpretation. Do you need some basic pumps for work -- yes. But who says they can't be snakeskin pumps?
