For those of us who have a love-hate relationship with heels, this is our summer.
The resurrected footwear trend of the day is the kitten heel.
So, how do we style the kitten heel for summer?
Combine it with another trend, of course.
Preppy looks are “in” these days with more whimsy and uniqueness than before.
To lean into this look, the kitten heels and maxi skirt combo is the way to go.
