It's the style of the season.
Gone are the days of the platform heel. The chunky style had been appearing on our Instagram feeds for what felt like forever, but there’s a new shoe in town and it’s taking over the internet.
That’s right, say hello to the humble slingback.
If you’ve not yet been introduced, slingback heels might just be your new best friend. The style typically features a pointed toe, with an ankle strap and a kitten heel, and people just can’t get enough. In fact, according to Klarna, searches for slingback heels have increased by 163% compared to summer last year.
Celebrities such as Alexa Chung and Dakota Johnson have already been spotted wearing the iconic lace and crystal design by Gucci, and it seems that everyone at Copenhagen Fashion Week has followed suit.

From bright neon colours to more neutral styles, there is something for everyone. These shoes aren’t just for the evening either, simply pair them with a linen suit and a basket bag and you’re ready for the office.
