How To Style Kitten Heels

Some call them a “training heel”, but the correct term for those minuscule stilettos is Kitten Heels. Originally crafted in the 1950s, they became an instant icon in the shoe world when Audrey Hepburn made them her signature. And it appears they’re back with a vengeance as we’re once again seeing the silhouette walk runways for SS25.

What are Kitten Heels?

By definition, kitten heels are low-heeled shoes, usually within the height of 1 – 2 inches. The heel is typically slender and in classic shapes, such as a pointed toe. You may find them with various forms of fastening, but our personal preference is a slingback kitten heel – they’re ideal for timeless elegance.

How To Style Kitten Heels

Thanks to their minute heel, this style provides the perfect fusion between chic and comfort, meaning there’s no occasion where kitten heels are off-limits. Heading to lunch in jeans? A pair of kitten heels helps to elevate your favourite pair of denim. Attending a garden party in a breezy midi dress? Kitten heels add a chic but comfortable touch. Boardroom meeting in the office? These shoes offer contemporary elegance with a sophisticated aesthetic.

Black Kitten Heels

With a style that’s so versatile and a colour that’s so classic, there really is no reason not to love a black kitten heel. Our favourite style is the Bridget Sling Blacks; they’re moulded from smooth goat leather and coated in soft suede for that timeless appeal. Then, at the front, a gold buckle detail ties everything together with a hint of shimmering elegance.

White Kitten Heels

A white heel is perfect for lighter days or to brighten darker looks. That’s why the Bridget Sling Backs in cream have become a staple in our footwear collection. This leather pair features a pointed toe and is handmade by skilled artisans who guarantee the highest quality that will last for years to come.
