10 Shoes That Will Have You Head Over Heels

10 Shoes That Will Have You Head Over Heels

Anyone acquainted with the shoe vocabulary will be familiar with the fact that heels take precedence in this segment. Heels elevate your attire, like nothing else. They instantly amp up your style game. You can grimace all you want inside but strut in a pair of knockout heels with your head held high and you’ll always be at the receiving end of ‘wows’. Those covert admiring glances more than make up for the pain. And why not: that invincible feeling you get in a pair of sky highs is unbeatable.

Mention heels and the basic, neutral pumps or stilettos come to mind. These are a regular feature in every it-girl’s shoe closet. Undoubtedly, they are everyone’s go-to shoes. However if you ask me whether they are enough, the answer’s always going to be a resounding NO. Because shoes, no matter what the style, are never enough.

Without much ado, here’s presenting the 10 heels that are bound to be your perfect sole-mates. Scroll through my selection and make sure you have those credit cards ready.

1. The Basic Pumps

If there is one style that has literally taken over every girl’s shoe closet across the world, it’s got to be pumps. A basic one is a must-have; and why shouldn’t it be? It’s the most versatile footwear in the shoe closet. It can instantly elevate your style no matter what you team it up with. Wear it with just a pair of shorts and there you go… a simple outfit that’s va va voom!

2. Stylish Day Heels

Heading to work? Break out of those flats already. A lovely pair of heels brings a certain amount of (much desired) authority at the workplace. I suggest you work an animal print one, because nothing else is as subtly fierce looking!

3. The Evening Stilettos

It-girls have sworn by these shoes, and boy does it look fab or what! The stiletto is the heel to wear when going for a party or just heading out (when you know you have less strutting around to do lest your feet ache). Team it up with a cocktail dress and let your inner diva take care of the rest. Wear it with a pair of well-fitted denims and a crop top when you’re dining with the gang.

4. The Good Ol’ Platforms 

The platform heel is one tricky shoe to don. But it’s comfortable and stylish all at once. Pretty much a 70s trend that is here to stay, this pair suits the tomboy and the girly girl. Perfect for days when you need to stand tall yet be comfy.

5. The Comfy Wedges 

All thanks to Salvatore Ferragamo who popularised the wedges back in 1930s; this is a shoe style every girl must invest in. Contrary to belief, these are not just for summertime chicness. Work an ankle-length wedge right through fall with a pair of skinny jeans or your go-to skirt. These shoes are pretty work-appropriate as well and won’t make you hobble around after an hour of wear. Pinky promise!

5. A Pair Of Block Heels 

Some days you want to do away with those sky-high heels but still want to stand tall in your shoes. Well, block heels are your best bet on such occasions. For a while now, these heels have been the street style crew’s patent pair of shoes. Wear them with ankle-cropped trousers or just a midi dress, and you’re bound to be a hear-turner. Go on kick some ass!

8. The Chic Mules 

If there’s a pair that legs up to give you some style, then mules have got to be it. This summer, these shoes were a hit on the runway. Everyone from Tory Burch to Proenza Schouler and even Calvin Klein had this pair showcased on ramps. Me thinks, you can easily work it up in fall as well.

The cutest pair of heels, kitten heels are perfect for when you have a lot of running around to do but don’t want your style to take  a beating. These heels are the perfect accompaniment when you want to add some height and elegance to your outfit.

10. Those Sturdy Boots

The must-have shoes this fall are none other than boots, which BTW are just about every other street style fashionistas’ staple. It’s what I would call my don’t-mess-with-me look. Feminine but with the toughness of a cowgirl from an Ohio ranch.
