Open-toed kitten heels are a summer essential. Easy to walk in, breathable and stylish, they are a sophisticated choice for the office (or anywhere else where flip flops won’t cut it). These simple peep-toes work equally well for day and night, and look a lot higher than they actually are.

If you choose a kitten heel with an ankle strap, always make sure it has a pointy toe. While ankle straps can make your calves appear shorter, pointed shoes elongate the leg, so a combination of the two will balance each other out.
5. Kitten Heel Mules
Mules are notoriously hard to wear – if you choose a pair that are even slightly too big, you risk watching them fly off with every step you take! Luckily, these Uterque mules are designed to stay put – and the black suede just oozes Parisian chic.

8. Kitten Heel Pumps
A great pair of leather pumps will always be a solid investment, but these pale pink Prada kitten heels tick every box for 2017. Expect to see rose-toned shoes all over the High Street by the end of the year, as kitten-heeled pumps become the new court shoes.

Over the knee boots work best with a little heel – too high, and you will struggle to walk comfortably in them; too low and they can bag at the ankle and knee. These kitten heel boots are perfectly proportioned, and look great with a mini-dress or short skirt.
10. Everyday Kitten Heels
You can’t beat a plain pair of black shoes that just go with everything. These Topshop classics work with skirts, dresses and trousers alike, and will stay stylish season after season.
