We’re big on having options—especially when it comes to shoes. Flats and high heels make their own kind of statements, but some outfits call for an in-between. The kitten heel is more than just a happy medium, though. It’s long been considered a refined, feminine dress shoe, popularized by style icons like Audrey Hepburn. Now, the micro-heel has resurged in a range of on-trend styles and silhouettes: think booties, mules, and even sandals. While we’re nearly through sandal season, you can keep this shoe in your rotation straight through fall. The trick is to transition from partially-open styles (which complement shorts, dresses, and late-summer looks) to closed-toe styles and chilly weather boots. Get inspired by some of our favorite picks below and keep your kitten heels going through any change in season.
