Whatto wear

Never has the high heel looked quite so fragile. With the spectacular range of kicks out there, is the heel getting the boot? Maybe not quite — there’ll always be a time and a place for a strappy Jimmy Choo or a lofty beauty by Marc Jacobs. But trainers keep it informal on the formal. You can wear them out to dinner with a fancy frock or pair them with casual threads. Take these bright new kicks on the block — the latest addition to the New Balance 247 series, the 247 Women’s and 247 Classic. They’re not stratospherically priced, either, at $ 140.
