Women's styles cycle in and out of fashion. Most women observe what others are doing and do likewise. So in from about '85 to '98 you normally wouldn't see a woman expose her toes at a business meeting, but lately you may.
In
The Woman's Dress for Success, John Molloy had a list of qualifications for Overdressers' Anonymous. Of course one was "I always wear high heels," but another was, "I wear open toed shoes whether or not they are in style." Of course it is kind of funny:
Overdressing! Hard to imagine lately.
I don't like to see a lot of foot, but I really like peep toes. However, since they are popular, people are calling sandals and mules "peep toes" anymore.
