I’m A Shoe Addict: 15 Pairs Of Gorgeous Thin Heeled Sandals I’ll Be Wearing From Now Until Party Season

Don’t get me wrong, I love every kind of heel from kitten to wedge, but thin-heeled sandals? I’ll come back to those season after season, year after year. A classic staple in any footwear lineup, these shoes will not only go with but elevate countless outfits for just as many events. So, whether you’re looking for a low-heeled pair to spice up your everyday looks or a sleek pair of stilettos for an upcoming event, you’re in the right place. I’ve hand-picked 15 pairs of must-have heels we’ll all want to wear from now until the party season starts in a couple of months.

Black Thin-Heeled Sandals That Go With Everything

I Like To think of black thin-heeled sandals as the dressier version of your fave pair of sneakers. Stylish, dependable, and certain to go with every dress (skirt, pair of trousers, etc) you pair them with. For example, the Ribbon 105 patent leather slingbacks by Gianvitto Rossi.  From the moment you own these heels, you’ll wonder how you ever styled so many outfits without them. Firstly, the slingback shape, high stiletto heels, and all-black design are utterly timeless and, I can confidently say, in style forever. Secondly, they look just as amazing with floor-length gowns as they do with cocktail dresses. Do your future self and closet a favor. Add these shoes to your cart before they inevitably sell out. I’ll be pairing mine with the stunning studded velvet clutch by Anthropologie and Renaisse open stitch midi by ASTR The Label. Then, with every other dress I own!

Think of the countless hours you’ll save on deciding the perfect shoes when you own not just one, but two pairs that go with every dress in your closet! Yes, the Sardina suede sandals by Manolo Blahnik will also complete every evening silhouette you style them with. Opt for a classic black silhouette for a timeless look. Or, slip into a white or cream dress to nail the monochromatic aesthetic. If you’re going for the second option (good choice) I highly recommend the Connie cotton poplin midi by Altuzzara and the Bon Bon bow embellished top handle bag by Jimmy Choo.

Designer Thin Heeled Sandals That Make A Statement

One of the many reasons we all love thin-heeled sandals? They make an outfit look instantly dressier. If you’re looking to make a statement on your next evening out, look no further than the thick ankle strap sandals by Gianvitto Rossi. They’re destined to be the most head-turning pair of shoes you own. They’ll also look incredible with hundreds of dresses, especially black cocktail ones. Hint: these shoes with these shoes with the Natasha dress by Likely and patent leather clutch by Tom Ford are a match (well, trio) made in heaven!

Finally, we all need the perfect pair of crystal-embellished heels in our after-dark line-up. Luckily, the Movie PVC crystal-embellished sandals by Aquazzura exist. Firstly, they’re the ultimate evening heels for parties, dinner dates, and dancing. Secondly, they’ll work all year round. So, you can wear them now and during party season! Style these head-turning heels with the micro Kensington bag by Kurt Geiger London and the Love sequin mini dress by Bec & Bridge. I know it’ll be your go-to party look from here on out.
