HOW TO WEAR ...KITTEN HEELS

THE 90S FAVOURITES ARE BACK. KATIE WRIGHT TAKES A LOOK

THE last time kitten heels were the height of fashion was the late 1990s, when they were championed by the fashion gurus of the day, Trinny and Susannah.

Now, along with just about every other Nineties trend, the mini-heel is back, with sub-two-inch stilettos on show at Dior, Prada, Miu Miu and Balenciaga.

So how to wear kitten heels now? It’s all about keeping your look fresh and modern. Here’s our pick of the best buys on the high street, and what to wear them with...

SLEEK SILVER KITTEN HEELS

The style: Shiny, metallic mules or two-part courts. Wear them with: Acid wash, loose-fit denim and a statement blouse.

KITTEN HEEL MULES

The style: Backless leather or suede in neutral tones, they’re the most minimal of all. Wear them with: Statement trousers (think frayed-edge or tassel-hemmed), a plain tee and a cropped jacket slung over your shoulders.

EMBELLISHED KITTEN HEELS

The style: Pastel or jewel-toned satin, with oodles of sequin or diamante detailing. Prim princess shoes, basically.

Wear them with: Block colour midi and pleated skirts, or culottes, to show off your snazzy shoes.

POINTED TOE KITTEN HEELS

The style: Referencing the Sixties or the Eighties, these court shoes are as retro as the kitten heel gets. Wear them with: Structured A-line miniskirts and a round cross-body mini bag to amp up the Sixties vibe.
