Kitten Heels

As it relates to kitten heels, let’s be clear:

The concept surfaced around the 1950s
TRUE kitten heels are a stiletto heel and is under 45mm-ish.
Everything else is just a short heel, a block heel, a pump, shorter square heel, etc…it appears that ever piece of footwear with a short heel has co-opted the title!
Most stores/brands today carry some ‘version’ because of the revolt against high heel post-pandemic
To maintain a chicness and sophistication about the shoe, opt for a more pointed toe
To create a little more modern edginess, opt for embellishments like grommets or spikes
Because they are lower and your toes don’t smoosh up in the toebox as much, the need for leather is mitigated BUT sticking with leather guarantees you won’t be disappointed
When to wear them? They’re meant to be rocked with everything – they are a great substitute to elevate from a flat – they are a great substitute to look sophisticated with a work look…as along as you’re ok with the loss of bump-in-your-trunk!
