This season’s best kitten heels are getting a minimalist makeover. During the latest fashion month, street style made the simplest yet most powerful statement in kitten heels from Prada, Khaite, Totême and The Row. Pair them with other wardrobe staples – like cheery denim, a timeless trench coat or baggy trousers – and expect the perfect polish every time.
For everyday ease and elegance, check out Totême and Tory Burch’s loafer-style kitten pumps. Paired with a luxe leather midi skirt or crisp shirtdress, they’re a welcome alternative to classic menswear-inspired loafers or even open-soled shoes. Lace-up slingbacks from Mango, Aeyde or Anine Bing are simple. Take a cue from the street style scene and pair your piece with other minimalist must-haves like a leather jacket or even a plain white tee. Perfect point-toe pumps from Jil Sander, Proenza Schouler and By Far look seamless from day to night, while embellished kitten pumps from Gucci and Neous are the ultimate party shoes. For a slightly sturdier heel, Everlane and Co’s option is as functional as it is stylish. With warmer weather on our horizon, Totême’s flip flop sandals are an immediate addition to our spring and summer carts.
This spring’s best kitten pumps are the epitome of understated luxury—and a favorite of the fashion crowd. Discover why and shop our editorial, below.
