Understanding the different styles of heels
When it comes to stepping out in style, knowing your types of heels is crucial, babe. With years of expertise and a deep passion for fashion, EGO has mastered the art of heel-making, offering a diverse range of options that cater to every style, occasion, and height. Let’s take you through the glorious and utterly fabulous world of heels with this ultimate guide, showcasing the different styles of heels that every fashion-forward queen needs in her wardrobe.
1. Stiletto heels: The ultimate classic
If they’re good enough for Carrie Bradshaw, they’re sure as heck good enough for us. Stiletto heels are synonymous with elegance and are undeniably the most iconic type of high heels. With their slim, high-heel design, stilettos provide an elongated, sophisticated look that never goes out of style. At EGO, we understand the power of a great stiletto. That’s why we offer a range of styles and designs to suit every occasion.
Stilettos are perfect for creating a polished, put-together look. They’re the ultimate way to show off your confidence and showcase your legs! Let your style reach new heights with a fierce pair of stiletto heels.
Styling Tip: Elevate your evening look with our Carmella Glitter Sole Strappy Stilettos—a perfect blend of classic girly and super sexy. Pair them with a sleek mini dress or a pair of tailored trousers for an ultra-chic ensemble.
2. Block heels: Comfort meets style
Block heels give you the best of both worlds with their killer style and superior comfort. Their wider block heel makes these shoes a great option for anyone who struggles with the semi-balancing act of a stiletto but still wants the drama of a high heel. All that hard work sashaying to the dance floor is not always easy on the tootsies, is it, babe?
Block heels come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the classic square to more rounded or even nude block heel designs. This makes them perfect for an infinite selection of outfits, whether you’re heading to the office, enjoying a prosecco-infused brunch with friends, or going out for a casual evening in town. Their comfort and style versatility make block heels a must-have in any shoedrobe.
Styling Tip: Pair our platform block heels with your favourite jeans and a chic top for a stylish, everyday look that won’t compromise on comfort. Or, dress them up with a flowy maxi dress for a more laid-back, boho vibe.
3. Kitten heels: Low-key elegance
Meow, kitty girl! Kitten heels have made a reappearance in recent years, and we’re so here for it. These dainty heels provide just the right amount of lift without the height of a stiletto, making them ideal for both day and night wear. With their classic 90’s silhouette, kitten heels are quite possibly the most stylish of all the shoes on the market.
Kitten heels are perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your everyday outfits. They pair well with everything from tailored trousers to casual dresses, providing a subtle lift that enhances your silhouette without the discomfort of higher heels. We challenge you to find an outfit that doesn’t go with the Savannah Square Toe Kitten Heels due to their supreme ease of wear and classic black hues.
Styling Tip: Embody all things 90’s with a disgustingly pointy pair of kitten heels and pair with the tiniest of mini dresses for maximum impact.
4. Ankle strap heels: Flirty and fun
Ankle strap heels are all about that added touch of security and style. EGO has perfected the art of the ankle strap heel, offering a variety of designs that look fabulous and provide a secure fit to maximise your time on the dance floor. These heels are versatile enough for both casual and formal occasions, making them a must-have in any shoe-obsessive’s collection.
Styling Tip: For a flirty, fun look, try our Letty Ankle Strap High Heels with a mini dress or skirt. The ankle strap ensures a secure fit, while the square toe offers stability. Genius.
5. Mules: Effortlessly chic
Mules are a staple in any fashionista’s wardrobe; they’re simple, and sometimes they have that fugly quality that we can’t get enough of! Love them or hate them, mules are here to stay, and we couldn’t be any happier.
These killer heels are ideal for warmer weather or when you want to add a relaxed, casual vibe to your outfit. They’re also great for those days when you’re on the go and need a stylish shoe that’s easy to slip on and off.
Styling Tip: Mules are the perfect end to any holiday outfit thanks to their laid-back vibes that don’t compromise on style. We recommend making sure you’ve always got a pair of mules in your suitcase.
6. Platform heels: Height without the hurt
Platform heels are ideal for those who are ready to see their style soaring to all-new, uncharted heights. These show-stopping shoes will see you towering above the rest and serving legs 11. The Freddy Ankle Strap Platform, for example, has all the extra height built into the front of the shoe, meaning you get the benefit of height without the steep incline, making them perfect for events where you’ll be on your feet for hours. All of the ‘ooooh’ and none of the ‘AAGH!’.
Styling Tip: Lean into a Bratz fantasy and pair your platform heels with some flared trousers, a crop top, and a killer pair of sunglasses.
