4 The all-day heels

First off, they really do exist. second off, they now look much more modern than a loftier heel height. sure, a bit of a lift can still get you a long way, but these days, too high a heel suggests you are more a lady who lunches than a woman of influence, and who wants that? you can go for a kitten heel, or a chunkier midi. but this slingback style from Finery is about as 2018 as it is possible to get shoe-wise. £79, finerylondon.com
