If I'm going to be honest here, it's been a minute since I've even thought about wearing heels let alone wear them. But as the summer of reemergence approaches with events throughout the calendar, I'm ready to add a few to my wardrobe rotation. I'm not ready for stilettos quite yet (I'm looking at you, Amina Muaddi), but I'm settling on easy slip-on mules, strappy sandals, and platforms galore. They may not make me look six feet tall, but they'll add just the right amount of height needed to bring my outfit to the next level.

As I plan for going out again, I've found myself heel shopping a little too often lately. Can you blame me? The summer mood has set in. Anyways, I thought I'd share my finds just in case you're also not a heels person looking to buy a pair. Keep scrolling to shop my picks.

Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
