It's Official: NYC Girls Are Over This Heel Trend

by Micaela Erlanger

When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger also divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s opinion.

While almost every New Yorker owns these 19 pieces, there are a few fashion items you probably won’t find in a city girl’s closet as much, particularly one’s shoe collection. When it comes to footwear, NYC fashion girls are opting for simple and stylish heeled mules right now and drifting away from heel styles with a round toe. So if you’re looking to update your spring shoe selection, I’d suggest adding the style everyone in New York is wearing right now. Scroll down to shop my favorite mules you can wear now and well into summer.
