For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved high heels. I love the way they can improve your posture and make you stand tall and confident. I don’t know about you, but whenever I wear a pair of high heels, it makes me feel a lot more put together as they can make your outfit feel a lot more complete and elevated. High heels are such a versatile piece as they can be worn for a multitude of different occasions, whether it’s to work, and a party, a wedding, to dinner or even to the shops – if that’s what floats your boat! Despite there being so many different types and variations of heels available, there is a few that are absolute staples and should be in any woman’s possession.
| THE COURT;
The court heels are an absolute classic, and something that whether you wore them yesterday or plan on wearing them in fifteen years, will always been on trend and will never look out of place in your wardrobe. I have a couple pairs of court heels, a classic black pair from Zara, with PVC detailing and a wrap around perspex pair from Missguided. Both styles have a nice twist on your classic court, yet don’t feel outdated (even though I’m sure the Missguided Perspex pair will soon enough!) My absolute dream court heels are the Manolo Blahnik Hangisi courts! They’re such an iconic shoe, supposedly comfortable and have such elegance to them. It also means I can get my Carrie Bradshaw on!
| THE BARELY THERE;
The barely there heeled sandal is one that has been on trend for the past few years, to the point where I think it also may be considered a classic. There are so many different variations stemming from the classic sandal, whether it’s a perspex heel, chunky or stiletto etc. My latest acquisition of the barely there shoe are my Primark Heels, which are in a stunning deep, cobalt blue. Something I like about barely there sandals is that they’re a nice hybrid of a high heel and a sandal and there are different heel thickness’ for more or less comfort and the barely there high heel is perfect if you want to elongate your legs to make them appear longer!
| THE PVC;
PVC is another style of high heels that are very well loved at the moment. With the likes of Sophia Webster, Christian Louboutin and of course Gianvito Rossi who are renowned for their Plexi courts, I can’t see them going away anytime soon! I have my high-street picks, which are my Zara Asymmetrical Heels. They’re great for a night out and perfect if you’re someone who wants to have a bit of toe cleavage (yes, that’s a thing) without having all their toes, out and about on display! I still have my eyes on the beautiful Gianvito Rossi Plexi heels as I think they’d make a good addition to my high heel collection!
| THE POP OF COLOUR;
Everyone needs a pop of colour in their high heel collection. They’re perfect for those occasions when your outfit consists of a very neutral, all black or all white as they put a twist on it and just make the outfit a bit more fun. If you’re someone who’s afraid to wear colour, a simple outfit, with a pop of colour on the heels is an easy wear to incorporate it! My personal favourites are my Zara Scallop Cobalt Heels, which are not only stunning on, but they’re also a lot more comfortable than you’d think. I’m very much that person who gravitates towards black, white and neutrals, but this makes incorporating colour easy and fuss-free
What do you think about a good pair of heels? What’s your staple style of heel? Is it a court, a pop of colour or something else?
