A good pair of heels are perfect no matter the time of year. Always classy, with an ability to heighten an outfit (literally), heels are some of the most versatile shoes that one can get away with wearing all year round. Summer in particular is a peak time for the shoe, and this collection of heels we’ve gathered showcases the very best that are on the market right now, from brightly coloured beauties to platform sandals perfect for the beachside!
Versace
Part of Versace’s famous Medusa line, this elegant black mid-heel comes in a smooth leather and would add a major touch of class to any outfit. The elegant design is fitted with a large golden chain across the bridge of the shoe adding a distinct touch of high glamour which will draw attention from all around due to the sheer size of it. This pair of heels would be perfect for business or more formal wear but could also work very well for a more casual, but still dressier outfit.
Valentino
Looking to make more of a statement? Then this platform pump courtesy of Valentino will take you to new heights… literally. The heel comes in a deliciously smooth patent leather which adds a sleek shine and is fitted with an adjustable ankle strap holding the signature Valentino logo. The main drawing point though is, of course, the size of the heel which will make anyone wearing these beauties tower over everyone else in the room. This is a heel of power!
Amina Muaddi
Thigh-high heels are a staple piece and exude a unique energy, and this pair from Amina Muaddi are no exception. Rather than looking like a conventional thigh-high with solid material all the way up to the thigh, this take on the classic instead features an elongated strap with encrusted jewels spiraling all the way up the leg. The strap would be notable enough on its own but the addition of the jewels really takes this heel to new heights and definitely makes it quite the statement shoe.
Mach & Mach
Summer is the season of bright, bold colours and there’s no reason that heels can’t be a part of that action. Rather than going with the standard black, this satin court shoe from Mach & Mach comes in a cool turquoise for a vibrant pop of colour and is embellished with crystals along the strap and across the adorably cute double bow that sits at the front of the shoe. The shoe also comes in an array of other colours including the equally vibrant purple and fuchsia, as well as the more traditional black and white.
The Attico
Keeping on that train of bright colours, the Piper sandal from Attico comes in multiple eye-catching shades, including a delightfully cute fuchsia which is sure to add a level of playfulness to any outfit it accompanies. The Piper has a fairly unique shape compared to other heels, having a more angular and boxy silhouette making it feel just a little chunkier and giving it a definite cool factor too. The heel itself has one of the most unique shapes on the market right now, being chunky and pyramid shaped rather than thin and more square shaped, and is currently being loved by huge names such as Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk. These heels definitely have an identity of their own.
Jimmy Choo
Want to take the high glamour and dial it all the way up to 100? Look no further than the Heloise 120 from Jimmy Choo, which is made out of a slick, gold leather. Definitely not a subtle shoe, these golden goliaths feature a stunning knotted strap that forms into a cute bow over the toes which gives these heels a unique sense of playful identity. The Heloise also features an ankle strap with buckle fastening and the standard block shaped heel.
