Wearing strappy heels can be a little intimidating- but don’t worry! With these five tips, you’ll learn how to rock them like a pro without any need for painkillers.
5 Tips for Wearing Strappy Heels
1. When to wear them
Strappy heels are perfect for a night out on the town with friends, a fun summer party, or even a casual event like graduation. They are perfect for any occasion that involves standing or walking for an extended period of time.
2. Where to wear them
When the weather is nice out, it’s best to stick to lighter colors like nude and cream. When it’s colder out, or if you’re going somewhere really fancy- definitely choose black! And when choosing your outfit, it’s best to keep things simple (no crazy patterns) and avoid wearing anything over 5″ in heels as they can get tricky to walk in.
3. How to wear them
The best thing about strappy heels is that you can wear them with so many outfits! Just pair a fun top and fun accessories with your favorite pair and you’ll have the perfect pair of shoes for any occasion. Here are some great outfit ideas:
Cute Uggs (nude or cream)- cool sophisticated outfit with a colorful scarf, gold necklace, and lots of chains to layer. Top shop: Macy’s (available in other colors) or Zara (available in other colors). Tiered skirt- add a big statement necklace at the waist, lace bralette (for support), nude heels, and long gold chain bracelet. Top shop: Macy’s (similar) or Forever21 (similar). Bigger necklace- bigger necklaces go well with a longer skirt, so pair it with a sweater tied at the waist or belted on the side. Top shop: Nordstrom Rack (available in several colors). Strappy tank- add some long chains to layer. Top shop: Zara (available in several colors)
4. How to buy them
When buying strappy heels run, make sure you check the heel height and make sure they don’t rub against your arches. If the strap rubs against your foot and toes, take them off and try on another pair. Also, check the shoe size- most likely you’ll be a half or full size smaller just because of the fit of the shoe. So we recommend trying on a pair in-store before buying online so you know what size to buy.
5. What to look for in quality strappy heels
When looking for a good pair of strappy heels, it’s best to go with leather because they will last longer than other materials like plastic or faux leather. Black is an amazing color to wear with strappy heels because it’s very classy and sophisticated. Also, go with a neutral tone like nude or cream so your outfit won’t be over-the-top.
When purchasing your first pair of strappy heels, try to find one that you love the look of and keep within a reasonable budget or spend as little as possible on them! That’s our style!
