How to Know When to Wear High-Heeled Shoes



The rules of fashion dictate when it's appropriate to wear high heels. You commit a fashion faux pas when you wear heels at the wrong time or wrong event. You can determine which shoes are appropriate by considering several features of high-heeled shoes.









Step
1



Choose a lower heel for professional situations. For example, if you're interviewing for a new job, you want to wear heels that you can walk in comfortably. Pick a shoe with a heel that is less than 2 inches.




Step
2



Elongate your legs with a higher heel. If you have short legs and you want them to appear long for a night out, then pick a heel that is more than 2 inches high.




Step
3



Pick a moderate heel for a night out. Since you may plan to dance and walk around a lot, then you want to feel comfortable as well as look good.




Step
4



Practice walking in the high-heeled shoes before you wear them. This prevents you from wearing them and feeling uncomfortable all day long.




Step
5



Decide on the color of the high heels based on the occasion. Most women have black and brown heels in their wardrobe that are suitable for numerous types of events.







Tips & Warnings









Most designers consider any heel that is higher than 3 1/2 inches, a "high" heel. Anything shorter is considered a low to moderate heel.








You can wear heels with basically any kind of clothes. High heels are used to dress up jeans, pants and other casual clothing pieces.
