Yes, Kitten Heels Are Back
Whether you were a fan of the trend the first time around or are just getting acquainted, kitten heels are officially back, and they’re better than ever. Before you forgo the trend altogether, let us tell you now: You won’t want to miss out. You might wear them as a practical alternative to your sky-high stilettos in the office, but now that summer has arrived (along with summer Fridays), adding kitten heel sandals to your shoe regimen will be the greatest addition to your closet yet.
While we may have scoffed at the heels in the past, the latest runway looks have proven that these short-heeled shoes can be chic. For the warm-weather days when you want to wear heels but still want to be practical, there isn’t a better option. From minimalist styles to more embellished iterations, these sandals will dress up any look whether it’s a tank top with straight-leg jeans or a miniskirt.
Ready to add a pair to your shoe collection? We scavenged the internet to find the best so you don’t have to. Trust us—you won’t regret having these.
