This particular style of shoe, that has been simply been referred to as “clear heels” or “plexi heels” first debuted on the Christian Dior Fall/Winter 2015 runway. However, the style is now becoming more prominent. They will most likely fall under one of the instances where you either hate them or love them. Please allow me to encourage you to love perspex heels! They are a fun take on the classic heel that could otherwise be seen as boring depending on the make and model. This cutting edge footwear is a must-have for summer, and will definitely be staple piece for the fall and winter seasons to come. They are offered in a variety of styles, colors, and textures from suede thigh-highs to patent leather ankle boots in cute hues like pastel pink and even dark wash denim.

Most normal, 9-5 girls won’t be able to attend Paris Fashion Week or would be draped in Dior from head-to-toe like Rihanna. However, you can use the fashion maven herself as an example when styling your thigh-high perspex heels. Wear a TopShop Contrast Panel Textured Duster Coat in Dusty Pink over a Sanna Sweat Dress in Ivory. Accessorize with Faux Pearl Front/Back Earrings, Faux Pearl Choker Necklace, and a Vintage Styler Blush Box Clutch Bag. In this outfit, you have practical pieces like a comfy sweater dress and thick heel, which means you are ready for almost anything such as work, a fun girls night out, or date night with your significant other.
