High heels: the must-have models
The height is variable, the thickness is decisive and the plateau is one of the many optional features.
Fashion houses such as Prada , Valentino Garavani , Gianvito Rossi and Jimmy Choo deserve credit for having designed and created high heels capable of satisfying the most diverse tastes.
If we talk about glamour and class we cannot fail to mention the stiletto heel , from the comfortable 7.5 centimetres of Stuart Weitzman to the more slender 10.5 centimetres of Acquazzurra.
The tapered shape of this heel has always been able to give a sophisticated allure to any type of look.
If fashion is important, finding the right compromise between the need for comfort and the desire for fashion is perfectly embodied by the square heel .
In the wake of the 2023 comfort is the new chic shoe trend , the wide heel accompanied by the platform ensures a soft and easy stride without sacrificing fashion at the same time.
The wide heel accompanies not only the Valentino Garavani décolleté shoes and the summer sandals by See by Chloé , but also the Sonora boots and ankle boots.
Speaking of summer, it's impossible not to talk about wedges , elegantly placed on one of the strongest trends of the next season: espadrilles .
From Stuart Weitzman to Prada, available in delicate shades such as beige and pink, in perfect 2023 chic style.
All these models come in extremely different textures, materials and designs, making them perfect for the most diverse occasions.

How to match high heels?
Beyond the style rules dictated by seasonal trends , the golden rule for matching high heels is only one: balance .
Higher heels than usual for a long dress, fewer centimetres with a midi dress or a pencil skirt to balance out the outfit.
Alongside length and fit, a factor not to be overlooked is the colour palette , to create a fluid and pleasant combination of shades.
If black is the safe option par excellence, do not exclude other basic colors that go with almost any outfit (brown and beige) and bold ones (blue and red).
Underlying all of this, of course, is context and occasion.
If the occasion is formal , opt for the stiletto.
If the look is casual , choose a low or medium heel.
The most important advice we want to give you is, without a doubt, to feel comfortable with what you wear.
Experiment with patterns and combinations, and find your style.
The stiletto heel
There are several options for wearing stiletto shoes.
- for an elegant look , match them with an evening dress or a single or two-tone trousers and jacket;
- if your inclination is casual chic , match the shoes with a midi dress or a pair of palazzo jeans and a shirt;
- for a minimalist style , instead, give impetus to the shapes with a pair of palazzo trousers and an elegant blouse;
- experiment with colors : you can choose to match them with a dress or trousers of the same color or opt for a contrast, choosing a color that matches the shoes;
- for a touch of glamour , wear a pair of sequin or glitter heels: take a look at the Fendi and Prada SS23 heel line;
- retro taste? Pleated skirt and t-shirt.
Whether it's a few centimetres of heel or dizzying 12 cm heels, with a stiletto, glamour is guaranteed .
The wide heel
Comfort and style are now an indispensable combination.
If you are looking for an elegant and comfortable look at the same time , match a pair of block heels with:
- a pair of cigarette trousers (back on the scene in the early months of this year) with an elegant shirt, top or blouse;
- a midi skirt for a feminine and sophisticated look;
- a pair of flare or boyfriend jeans and a designer t-shirt in perfect sporty chic;
- a light and airy dress for a summery, fresh and romantic style.
Experiment, try, combine and create: the style is yours!
