If there is one wardrobe item, besides the little black dress, that should be in every woman’s closet, it’s Black Heels.
A good, comfortable pair of black heels is likely the most versatile wardrobe item you will ever own. These shoes can go from dressy to casual and day to night and they can be worn with almost anything.
When it comes to this history of high heels, you may be surprised to learn that they were actually originally invented for men in 15th century Persia. Soldiers used them for securing their feet in stirrups while riding horses. Later, they were brought to Europe where noblemen wore them to look taller.
These days, you don’t see to many men wearing high heels but, for women, the right Black Heels can make any outfit look that much sharper.
There are many different types of heels and here is just a sample of some of those different types:
-The Pump – This is likely the most popular style of heel and is most widely worn for work-related functions or business events.
-Kitten heels – very small heels that add a tiny bit of height but lots of definition.
-Platform heels – a very tall heel of at least four inches typically worn out to the clubs or similar event.
-Stiletto Heels – Another tall but very slender heel also typically worn during evening events.
-Wedge Heels – a more casual look with height from a less defined heel.
-Chunky Heels – can be both casual or dressy depending on the height and width of the heel.
Black heels quite literally go with everything but some heels look better with certain outfits than others. Whether you are wearing jeans, slacks, a long skirt, a short skirt, a medium-length skirt, a long dress or a cocktail dress, there is a perfect pair to go with your outfit.
Besides variations in heels, black shoes also come in different shades of black. There may also be variations in the shape of the shoe and some have open toes, slingbacks, straps or other decorative designs.
Black shoes with any variation of heels can be found in any store that sells women’s clothing and accessories. Department stores, boutique stores and shoe stores will all have a selection of these shoes to choose from but the best selection can be found online.
Whether you have one pair of versatile heels to go with everything or you have a dozen pairs to mix and match, the right pair of shoes will finish your look.
