Jacqueline Kennedy wore them and now Michelle Obama is also all kitten heels. These heels have been in fashion time and again since the 50’s. Since the campaigns of her husband, Michelle Obama has been spotted wearing her kitten heels.

Her heels are always low to the ground and often shiny, but set a tone for how she presents herself to the world and distinguish her from other first ladies, both American and international.

Obama’s kitten heels are both
conservative but demonstrate a fluency in fashion; they’re simultaneously Puritanical and vaguely sexy.

Her favourite heels are one- to two-inch from the famous designer Jimmy Choo, which she has many and wears with almost any dress, from everyday to formal.

While she most likely chooses kitten heels because they’re comfortable and compliment her height, Obama also uses them to demonstrate a consistency in her image because she is a public figure and part of the style is to have a consistent look.

The kitten heels came to my attention because Michelle Obama who wear hers in many colours
contrary to what many of us like wearing, either black or in neutral colours just to play it safe.

Not only is the first lady of the US a kitten heel lover, but also her counterpart in France- Carla Bruni Sarkozy is also known to love her kitten heels.What I like about the kitten heels is that they are good for tall and big women.

I have been in love with high heels for a long time, but due to age and my big stature, I have
been forced to be in ballet flats for a long time, but now with the return of kitten heels, I made sure I bought at least four pairs in different colours.
Since they can support the weight
of any person wearing them kitten heels are ideal for every occasion.

You don’t have to worry
whether in office or attending a two hour cocktail, these shoes can do the trick. Many fashion fanatics were shocked when they saw kitten heels in the last season’s fashion collection, because for a long time now fashionable women were used to wearing the very high stilettos. But long gone are the days when you have to break your ankle to look chic and sophisticated.

Whether in trousers, skirt or trouser suits to smart casual- these heels are a piece to reckon with the shoe trend, a visit to Euro Designs next Chez Venant can give any trendy woman a pair or two of these loveable and comfortable shoes.
