Choose To Wear

Women’s heels can be seen as the definition for feminine and elegant, whereas trousers have a male orientated history. Contrary to popular belief, many feminine women love to wear trousers, and nowadays women in trousers is a normal and regular occurrence. Women’s shoes are often worn with trousers for a high-fashion, high-powered look in the workplace.

Skip the skirt and itchy tights, when heading to the office on a Monday morning and wear a modest heel with tailored trousers. Black kitten heels work well in the work environment as they are both modest and professional looking without sacrificing that desired sense of femininity. Heeled ankle boots also work well, as they are smart and supportive.

For a night out on the town or a first date, wearing high platforms with skinny jeans is a low-key, high-fashion statement. This combination can also lengthen the legs and improve posture. If you prefer a higher-key fashion statement, but not too extreme, try glitter heels or bright coloured ones combined with the skinny jeans.

This powerful combo of heels and trousers can equally be seen in more casual settings.Cropped pants are ideal for the warmer spring days and the summer and also be worn with heels. The cropped pants have hemlines that fall as high as the knee or as low as the mid-calf making them more versatile to wear with heels compared to ankle-length capris, which often make legs look short and dumpy no matter what you wear. Girly, heeled shoes add some class to cropped pants. Some examples of girly heels are ones with pointed toes or peep-toes. Colourful kitten heels are a better option for short women to wear flats with cropped pants. They’ll appear a bit taller and more slender without having to navigate on stilettos all day.

When pairing heels with pants, the main consideration is the length of the trousers. The bottom of your pants, whether they’re jeans or work trousers, shouldn’t be grazing the floor, as this can ruin the hemline of your favourite pair of trousers! The hemline of your pants should fall somewhere between the top of the heel of your shoes and midway down the heel. Also, the trouser leg should hang straight instead of bunching up around the top of your foot, which it will do if the trousers are too long. Not to mention that when your pants gather, they’ll make your legs look shorter. The exact opposite of what you’re going for when combining heels with tailored pants.

When mixing any type of jeans or trousersor pants with heels, a few more things need to be taken into consideration. The cut, colour, style and length of the trousers should be appropriately thought out, along with the colour, height and style of the shoe. Shoes have the ability to make or break an outfit, so it’s best to make sure you are happy with your heel and trouser combo before showing them off to others. The usual colour faux pas apply to this style, as well as considering the event you are going to. This is a no brainer, as you wouldn’t wear ugg boots to a red carpet event. Try some combinations and enjoy the results of looking good and feeling comfortable.
