The Outfits With Heels Fashion Girls Swear By
Here’s the thing about heels—they’re often reserved for dressy occasions like a date night or a wedding. But they’re actually a really versatile shoe style that you can add to your everyday wardrobe. If you don’t want your outfit to look too over the top, borrow a styling trick from fashion girls and pair casual outfits with heels, instead of more elegant pieces like a cocktail dress or gown. That means everything from track pants and a T-shirt to jeans and an oversize blazer. The great thing about adding heels to a dressed-down look is it instantly elevates it without needing to add much else—expect maybe a chic bag or pair of sunglasses.
