Posso the Spat

You rarely enjoy a spat. You say things you regret (to hell with you — and your minuscule member!) and get a terrible night’s sleep (sofa city serves you very, very wrong).

But here’s a spat you can get on board with: Posso.

An updated version of the over-the-shoe accessory popular in the late 1800s, this spat is made of high-end Italian leather with a bendable internal wire structure, which means you can transform your simple sandals, ho-hum heels, and boring boots into runway-worthy chaussures.

There’s a stellar selection to choose from: Fold the black croc-skin spat over to create silver wings for a spacey couture look. Crumple a cream spat down for a feminine ruffle. Or wear the short gold as is for minimalist chic.

At $240 to $290 a spat, they’re not exactly cheap, but look at it as an alternative to buying an expensive pair of shoes.

Which should prevent any sort of spat.
