Are Kitten Heels Spring 2018’s Most Wearable Shoe Trend?
If you think kitten heels are too mumsy or missing that sex appeal you’re after, hear us out. As much as we love the look of sky-high heels, we have to admit they aren’t made for the faint of heart. And what is less sexy than discomfort? Sometimes we just need a respite from a four-inch stiletto and want to slip into something a little more, dare we say, comfortable. Enter kitten heels — maxing out at two inches, they make a great choice for when a flat or “ugly shoe” just won’t cut it. Scroll down to see our favorite picks for the season.

1. Zara Floral Court Shoes With Ties ($50): Tie one on with Zara’s floral kitten heel. Wear this heel with a black circle skirt and red ruffled top.
2. GANNI Sabine Snake-Effect Suede Slingback Pumps ($270): Opposites attract when you pair this feminine slingback with skinny black jeans and your Metallica tee.
3. Sigerson Morrison Melina Slingback ($350): We love the fresh look of this white, soft leather slingback. Wear it with everything from flared denim to a printed midi skirt.
4. Steven Ainsley Point Toe Mules ($100): Think pink all spring long with these suede stunners. Make a subtle statement when you wear them with olive khakis and a white tee.
5. Marc Jacobs Abbey Crystal Embellished Pumps ($350): Opt for a kitten heel instead of a stiletto and you might be the last one shaking her thang on the dance floor come Saturday night.
6. Schutz Hirata Kitten Heel Slingbacks ($190): Head to toe denim is what we are talking about. Slip these slingbacks on the next time you wear a chambray denim dress.
7. Sam Edelman Laney Bow-Embellished Suede Mules ($110): Come down to earth with Sam Edelman’s black suede slip-ons. Channel Breakfast at Tiffany’s vibes when you pair with a classic LBD.
8. Prada Metallic Textured-Leather Pumps ($575): Shine bright with this smart pointy-toe pump. We envision this shoe with a colorful cherry red trouser and top.
