Read on for how to style kitten heels.
Style Tip #1: Go denim on denim.
Denim is having a moment, but that doesn’t mean it’s not also a timeless style. From denim bags to denim heels, there’s a reason the iconic fabric has continued to show up in so many different areas of fashion. It’s an undeniably practical style that’s popularity can’t be defined by trends alone. Pair faded denim kitten heels with wide-leg jeans for an eye-catching denim-on-denim style. Or style kitten heels in Signature Denim with breezy white linens for a subtle pop of color.

Style Tip #2: Play with proportions.
Tiny but mighty, kitten heels pair well with oversized blazers and wide-leg pants, balancing out bulkier looks with their sleek silhouette. And if your wardrobe leans more neutral, don’t be afraid to make even more of a style statement with a pair of poppy red kitten heels—they’ll stand out in the best way possible.

Style Tip #3: Keep it monochromatic.
Heading out in your go-to little black dress? Complete your going-out style with a little black bag (AKA the Tabby) and little black kitten heels. There’s nothing more iconic (or versatile) than a pair of heels in the standout neutral shade. And if you want to make sure your entire look feels cohesive, try matching your bag’s hardware to your jewelry for the ultimate finishing touch.
