Every Single Pair Of Chic Summer Heels We’re Eyeing Right Now
I’m not much of a heels person, but there’s something about summer that makes me want to kick off my go-to chunky sneaks and mules and slip my feet into something a little bit bolder and brighter. Summer heels are the stuff sartorial dreams are made of—the kind of thing we wear in our wildest fashion fantasies (and in our ideal Instagram feeds). What better way is there, then, to dress up a low-key graphic tee and jeans combo than to slide into a pair of on-trend kitten-heeled sandals or to don some vibrant mules?
Even I, a comfort-seeker who can be found wearing the same three outfits over and over again without fail, can’t ignore the inherent appeal of summer heels. I may be someone who has to make sure I know how and where I can wear something before buying it, but I’m no match at all for the sheer number of gorgeous summer heels available these days. Not to mention, since sensible shoes have made something of a comeback in recent years, the summer heels on offer are looking comfier and more reasonable than they have in a long, long time. (Cue block and kitten heels!) The summer heels landscape is our collective, proverbial oyster. All that’s left for us to do is shop it.
To get you started I rounded up a few pairs of summer heels waiting to make all your most aesthetic and Instagram-worthy dreams come true. Whether you buy pumps that will send you soaring above everyone’s heads or kitten heels that give you just the right amount of height, you’re sure to find the perfect pair of heels below.
