If you haven’t met the newest staple item in one’s wardrobe, let me introduce you. Meet, the strappy heel.

First made iconic by Stuart Weitzman, named “the Nudist” heel, this shoe has taken the runways and all print ads by storm!

There’s just something about this shoe – Incredibly elegant, yet so very simple. And because of its simplicity, it is almost guaranteed to be a timeless shoe. Meanwhile, designers, such as J.Crew, have taken this shoe, paired with denim and a casual top, to create an effortless, yet edgy look. While others have paired it perfectly with that gorgeous dress reserved for that amazing night. Giving us, as the viewer, loads of ideas on how to wear this shoe in our own worlds.

Whatever look you’re trying to recreate, it’s nearly impossible to go wrong with this shoe – Take my word for it! Here are a few different looks to provide you with inspiration as you style your own strappy heel!
