And Now, Meet *the* Shoe That Will Define Spring Fashion

I have a thing for shoes. Especially shoes that feel special, but also have a lot of staying power in my wardrobe. For that reason, I tend to spend a bit more on investment pieces that I’ve really fallen for. A few years back, I sprung for a pair of Chanel’s two-tone slingbacks, which have proven to be on the of the most-worn (and most-loved) pairs of shoes in my closet. The same thing can be said for a pair of vintage Prada heels I found last year that I wear with just about everything.

This spring, Prada has introduced a new collection of covetable kitten heels that I simply can’t stop thinking about. I’m convinced they will be the shoe of the season. Rather than just an It-shoe of the moment, though, I think they have true staying power. The low pointed-toe heels are designed in a rainbow of colors, each with a sporty waved sole, broken kitten heel, and rubber finish that make them feel timeless and modern all at once. They’re available in a few different designs, ranging from logo versions to styles finished with a sculpted flower.

One thing is certain—they have already won over the fashion set, who have been snapped wearing the stunning shoes. Ahead, let’s dive into the cool Prada kitten heels.

On the runway

Making their debut on the S/S 21 runway, Prada's kitten heels were designed under the vision of co-creative directors Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons. Sleek, sculpted, and modern, these are the heels that you can pair with practically anything.

Already sweeping outfits on Instagram, there's no doubt that the Prada kitten heels are a standout shoe of the season. Take some styling notes from fashion insiders and pair them with everything from second-skin tops and micro mini skirts to matching sets.

As we saw on the runways, a pair of bright heels like this orange pair add dimension to a neutral look.
