2025 heel trends — kitten heels

Pistachio’s industry-wide moment is undeniable: The pastel will be one of the coming year’s go-to colors. Tory Burch, Prada, Gucci, Dries Van Noten, and Simone Rocha showed light green shoes within weeks of each other, while mint also appeared on clothes at Tove, Rachel Comey, and Collina Strada. Get ahead of the curve with the pistachio (and pistachio-adjacent) pairs below.

Kitten heels—sometimes referred to semi-lovingly online as “granny heels”—took the fashion crowd by storm in 2024, and we can confirm that their moment will continue well beyond the current season. Ultra-low styles are easier to walk in, yes, but they’re often more playful and youthful than their taller counterparts—ironic, considering the geriatric connotations. Cool-girl brands like Sandy Liang and established houses like Fendi alike just sent kitten heels down the runway, so you can’t go wrong with these low-key lookalikes.

Career men are known for wearing loafers, Oxfords, and brogues; 2025’s most stylish women, meanwhile, wear their heeled counterparts. A big emphasis on office-ready shoes permeated our editors’ favorite spring shows; Chanel, Simone Rocha, and Loewe turned classic men’s dress shoes into statement-making heels. Miu Miu’s heeled loafers also fit neatly into this category, as do the T-bar shoes that have been adopted by fashion people late this year. Add some edge to your office wardrobe with this tongue-in-cheek footwear.
