Spotlight on Shoes: From Wedding Guest Heels to Work Shoes

Enjoy put-together outfits with head to toe consideration. Whether searching for comfortable heels to complement a dazzling wedding wedding guest dress, comfy work heels, reliable flats, or statement shoes that complete an occasion look with elevated glamour, Karen Millen’s range of heels and shoes is certain to help you find the finishing touch to your look.

Read on for comfortable work heels, wedding guest heels and shoes ideal for the dancefloor, and work shoes to see you from the morning commute to post-work plans.

Comfortable High Heels for Wedding Guest

When it comes to comfortable heels, there are two things to consider: height, and width.

Generally, the chunkier the heel, the more comfortable, as weight is distributed more evenly across the foot and creates less pressure on the pads of your feet. This is why shoes like wedges and platforms are always a little more comfortable than a stiletto.

If the heel you are opting for is slim, a shorter length will be far more comfortable than a towering heel. Stay on the dancefloor all night in a low heel or kitten heel, and opt for sparkling embellishments for a party-ready twist that looks great in photos and under the disco lights.

Alternatively, experience the best of both worlds, with a flared heel. This type of heel allows for the drama of a tall stiletto, but flares at the base to distribute the pressure more evenly. These shoes are ideal for outdoor weddings and even days at the races, as you will not be sinking into the grass with a heel in this shape.

A platform heel is also a comfortable option that brings heightened glamour and drama to an occasion look, as they have the illusion of being extremely tall, but the platform makes for a well balanced and distributed shoe, never as tall as they seem.

Comfortable Wedding Shoes

If heels are not your usual style, or if you’d like to forego the potential of discomfort, why not opt for a pair of comfortable wedding shoes? Luckily for us, ballerina flats are back in style in a major way, and have transformed from a potentially juvenile style, into a far more chic and elevated style.

Feminine bows, strap detailing, and contrasting metallic accents add intrigue to an otherwise plain shoe, increasing the formality to be wedding party appropriate. A pointed toe makes for a shoe with impact whether heeled or not, perfect for styling under a maxi length skirt or a pair of wide leg trousers to bring a sense of structure and levelled-up style.

Statement Occasion High Heels

If comfort is not key to your look, make a statement with a pair of towering stilettos. Adorned with sparkling details, three dimensional appliques, and luxurious fabrics, our heels create an outfit that has clearly been well thought out from head to toe.

Opt for a shoe like this especially if your occasion outfit is more pared back and sleek, to add enticing detail and inject personality into your look easily with a pair of wedding party heels.

Comfy Heels for Work

Comfy heels for work are a staple that needs to see you through long days, but of course, comfy work heels look very different to comfy occasion heels.

Real leather is an ideal fabric for work shoes, as not only is it ultra durable and long lasting, it moulds to the shape of your foot, ensuring comfort with a custom fit. Short heels, flared heels, and chunky heels are ideal for work as they have impact, especially when you hear them clacking through the office halls, but are also easy to wear and walk in all day.

We had to include a pair of sleek, heeled boots for the changing weather. A pair of knee high boots for work are ideal as they protect your legs from the elements, meaning you can wear skirts and dresses longer into the cold seasons - especially with a pair of thick tights and a trusty jumper or cardigan thrown over the shoulders.

Comfortable Shoes for Work

If your office is not quite formal enough for heels, look no further than our range of classic flats. From loafers, to Mary Janes, to the newly emerging ballerina flat trend, flat shoes can elevate an outfit just as significantly as heels.

Wear a pair of chunky loafers on the coldest days, under a pair of wide leg trousers or jeans to increase the formality slightly. A pair of pointed toe flats peeking out from under a dress or pair of tailored trousers creates an elevated level of style and injects personality into your office look. Mary Jane shoes and ballerina flats for work bring a more whimsical feeling, evocative of years gone by, and who wouldn’t want to add a sense of playful style to their work outfits? Office appropriate, comfortable, and cute, do not be scared to try something new with your footwear.

Trending Now: Shoes with Bows

Potentially the standout trend of 2024, bows are majorly back in fashion. From hair clips to tie detailing on dresses, to embroidered details, to shoes, bows add a whimsical, feminine touch to any outfit.

Whether heading on a cruise, to the races, to a wedding guest day, or to the office, our bow shoes are certain to add an enticing charm to any outfit, increasing intrigue and personal details that show off your personality from head to toe.
