Stella McCartney Kitten Heel Slingback

While there are plenty of other shoes on my must-have list for fall for the ladies, none better encapsulates sheer style and practical everyday chic than Stella McCartney’s faux patent leather asymmetric kitten heel slingback. While 5-inch Louboutins will never lose popularity, for the majority of women, it must be a sigh of relief the declaration by designers almost unanimously that kitten heels are the shoe du jour for fall. These Stella heels are refined and just so classy; they’re the perfect complement to the season’s return to monochromatic, simple dressing. I adore the asymmetrical cut of the fabric across the bridge of the foot; it’ll look so chic with a below-the-knee pencil skirt or wide leg trousers! Available in two heel heights–the lower heel is 70mm–and because Stella doesn’t work with leather, they’re instead made of 52% polyurethane, 31% polyester and 17% cotton. I’m not quite sure which color I love more: the desert hue is fresh and matches universally; the ruby is young and spirited and energetic and the lead pair is more conservative and 100% business. Ladies, get all three if you can! $645, available at Stella McCartney boutiques.
