If you’re as much of a shoe lover as I am, you probably have over a dozen awesome high heels in your closet. However, when is it really appropriate for you to wear a pair of high heels?

I have seen women wear high heels on many occasions while sacrificing the comfort of their feet. I find that there are only certain occasions and events where you should wear your sexy high heels. There are certain places where you should not use them. Here is my list of places that are appropriate or inappropriate.

Appropriate occasions to wear high-heeled shoes.

1. A dinner date: If you are going out with a gentleman, especially if it is the first date, you can put on your sexy shoes. You will appear before him as a self-confident lady. This is a quality that many men admire in a woman. Better yet, you’ll be sitting most of the time so your feet don’t get hurt.
2. A Wedding: Receiving an invitation to a wedding is an honor. With wedding costs skyrocketing, couples are forced to invite only select people. If you are the lucky recipient of a wedding invitation, you need to look like one. Weddings are occasions that are generally celebrated in style where guests are required to dress formally. When choosing your elegant evening dress, you can certainly wear a pair of sophisticated high-heeled evening shoes to complement your dress.
3. Year End Functions – If you are going to attend a year end function or any corporate function, you need to look powerful and professional. A woman wearing a beautiful pair of high heels tells her colleagues that she is confident, strong and determined. Also, while you mix and move, you will find the shoes to be quite comfortable and manageable.

Inappropriate occasions to wear high-heeled shoes.

1. The mall: We all love to be conspicuous, but being conspicuous in a mall is no good. Shoppers tend to gasp and criticize women who wear high heels in shopping malls. Also, high heels are not made for walking long distances and you could easily walk 5 km in a mall. I don’t know about you, but I’m not going to walk 5 km in my heels. Why should I put myself through that pain?
2. Travel – When you travel by plane or train, you will have a lot of luggage to carry. Yes, I know there are trolleys, but there are some areas where you can’t use them and you still have to lift your bags. The extra weight of the bags could hurt your ankles. So consider your feet the next time you travel.

I hope I have given you an insight into the world of stylish shoes. High heels are a girl’s best friend, but only when you wear them at the right time.
