Remember those fancy low heeled shoes? They are back and we are loving it! So just in case you didn't know, kitten heels are those easy-wear short stiletto- heeled shoes, usually about 1.5 inches to 4.75 high. Basically, their heels are low-to-ground and we all know that translates to comfort.
Kitten heels are not new inventions and the fact that they are gradually being identified as a staple makes them a classic. So if you are part of the fashion crowd that is still keeping them in the 'trend zone', we'll give you reasons why you shouldn't.
Kitten heels conveniently translate style and add finesse. Also, they can help elevate your outfits in such an uber-chic way, we also have to admit how wonderfully comfortable they are. You can walk in them all day long without getting a blister and still have a fresh pop to your look. They are all season friendly and no doubt, an absolute investment for your wardrobe as they come in different patterns, prints and textures.
This makes it a versatile accessory and styling it right could make a whole difference. We found some tips to style them in different ways and we are ready to share;
CASUAL & TRIM
The phrase 'casual' is an embodiment of different vibes. You could be feeling really laid-back or having an informal event; perhaps with friends, pairing your favourite kitten heeled slingback or mules with a skirt or denim pants is enduringly chic. They also pair excellently with mid-length tea dresses which is a perfect weekend look.

FORMAL & ELEGANT
We all know how restrictive formal wear can be so kitten heels might just be all the oomph your office wear needs. Start with pairing your plain office wear; could be a work dress, or pants suit with kitten heeled pumps and gradually you can move into slingbacks and mules (if your office guideline isn't as restrictive.)

One of the reasons why pairing kitten heels and workwear is so great is because you get to play with textures.Think tweed or denim kitten heels paired with crisp white pants. You can also go for kitten heels that have details like bows, embellishments or even prints to add an extra-retro effect to your formal outfits.
Kitten heels are a win however way you choose to look at them and we cannot overemphasize that. We hope you take our cues and start making the most of the accessory!
