Trade Stilettos with Kitten Heels This Summer

We missed the time when we would invest in some beautiful pieces and actually WEAR them instead of just putting them in our wardrobe and be locked down due to a global pandemic. While this spring feels a little less strict while staying in a sanitized mode on, we are investing in some essential yet trendy staples, and footwear is the first on our list. 

We added a bunch of beautiful strappy sandals ready to be styled with our spring-ish pieces, but now we’re on to another piece that’s among the casual-formal mix and that’s trendy and aesthetic: The kitten heels or the baby-heels. 

Call it whatever you want, but we’re sure you’ve already pictured some nice looks you’re about to style. Influencers and celebrities love the look of sky-high stilettos but this kitten-heeled shoes and sandals is what they wear to stay stylish for the prolonged hours. 

An open kitten-heel mule is that summer piece you can style with all your looks. Australian Fashion designer Brooke Testoni seems to be a fan of the casual chic design. She chose a really simple take on the trend, in full black with a plain strap. All you need is a white top, some dark green pants in linen and you’re ready for almost any occasion: To work, to dinner, to a lunch meeting, to a gathering…

As for Bella Hadid and Hailey Bieber, they both took on the trend with their kitten-heel sandals and styled them with a pair of denim pants: Cool, chic and everything in between. 

Now if you’re wishing to add some colors to your wardrobe for a spring touch, then Emili Sindlev’s style is your inspiration. We feel like entering a colorful rollercoaster once we step in the Danish stylist’s Instagram account with all her out-of-the-box street style looks. Choose gold kitten-heel sandals with a checkered mini shirt dress and step out in a fun style like Emili. 

We’re hopping on the trend, so if you are too keep scrolling to shop our favorites.
