What's Fashionable in Ladies Heels This Season

Searching for a great new pair of heels for this summer? Unsure of where to start? Not surprising, as there are many different types of heels to choose from. The different heel types for women's shoes are summarised below to make your choice a little easier.

The heels that tower above all others are the stilettos. These sky high beauties can reach up to eight inches and require a skilled owner as the heel itself is thin and provides little stability. Stilettos compliment knee length and shorter skirts and dresses. Stilettos top the list for sexy women's footwear.

Popular with business woman, standard pumps are a more appropriate and practical shoe. These heels are slightly wider than stilettos and shorter so provide more stability.

Platform heels are best suited for women who want the height that the stilettos can offer but need to have stability and are not patient enough to train themselves to be able to walk comfortably, let alone at all on a stiletto heel. Supported by a raised section under the ball of the foot, the super high heel is made to feel lower and the shoe feels more sturdy overall as the heel is generally a lot thicker and bulkier. The platform was most popular in the 70s but is till lining the shelves.

Kitten heels are the lowest heel on the market and are perfectly suited for all ages. Originally designed to help young girls get used to wearing heels, these low heel shoes can be worn with most clothing styles and come in a very wide variety of styles, colours and fabrics.

If you're not quite ready to tackle the mid to high heels, or if you're a high heel veteran and feel it's time to give your feet a rest then kitten heels are perfect, stylish yet comfortable and above all extremely practical.

The easiest of the heels to walk on is the wedge, and this particular shoe style is best suited for the summer months. The wedge heel comes in a variety of materials, ranging from cork to leather. The majority of the surface of the sole is on the ground which is why the wedge is comfortable and practical, despite the heights some wedges can get to. Wedges are best worn with flowing skirts and dresses as they have a tendency to look clunky when worn with tight fitting clothes.

For those more adventurous and looking for something that isn't in every shoe store on the high street, be daring and opt for the heel less shoe. The designer labels and the celebrities have been spotted on the red carpet and the catwalk sporting these gravity defying shoes. It may take some getting used to, but you'll be sure to get a comment or two.

Shoes For the Monsoon Season

As the seasons change, the fashion industry also changes as they proffer new and improvised designs in their clothing and accessories. One of the main accessories that tends to change particularly in the monsoon seasons are that of shoes and footwear. On those rainy nights, it can become impossible to wear leather and other delicate footwear without having to experience the risk of these shoes being torn apart or damaged. As a result, it has led to the formulation of a new era in footwear that has revolutionized the fashion industry to be worn in the monsoons.

However, today with a whole new range of raw materials being used for the manufacture of shoes, there have been new and more sustainable footwear in the market that is exclusively created and designed for the monsoon season

Hats and Fascinators for the English Season

Many of the most famous race meetings in the world are held in England - and many of these are the most glamorous race meetings in the world as well. Some of the great classics have their own particular style and hats or fascinators are a must for any well-dressed lady.

In March, the season kicks off with the Cheltenham Festival, held near the town in Gloucestershire and ever popular with visitors from Ireland as well as all over the UK. It can be cold, frosty, wet and blowy, even though by March signs of spring are emerging. More sombre colours suit this time of year - blue or green or brown. Even so the sun can shine well and the weather can be warm - so a fascinator is not hopeless.

SHOE CARNIVAL

Soon after Cheltenham is the Grand National. Held near Liverpool in the North of England, this is certainly another race meeting where the cold needs to be kept at bay. But this is probably the most famous race meeting in the world and there is no excuse not to be glamorous.

As spring gets under way, the English flat racing calendar starts in earnest. This racing is fast, furious and addictive to watch. With the warmer weather, our clothing can change a bit more. Lighter weights, lighter colours, less focus on keeping dry. Hats and feathery fascinators can be worn at all five of the classics, starting off with the 1000 Guineas and 2000 Guineas. These are at Newmarket in the east of England.

Following the Newmarket classics come The Oaks and The Derby at Epsom racecourse. The Derby has been run since 1661 and is run over one mile and four furlongs. It is always held on the first Friday and Saturday in June, so it is far more likely the sun can shine. Everyone can enjoy the weather and the racing and so can dress up a little more like peacocks too.

Ladies Day is the day for 3 year old fillies to be run. This will also see the most unbelievable turnout of hats and fascinators. Dress up and be seen is the motto of many.

In mid June, at the peak of the season, and with some of the best competitors, comes Royal Ascot. Attended by the Queen and Her family, this is an event that seems to excite hat-makers and the press as much as anyone else. Hats are essential, but making it a rule to have them doesn't mean they have to be boring. Show off and have fun.
