The easiest way to improve an outfit is to swap in a more interesting pair of shoes. So little work is required! Luckily, if your job won’t allow a pair of chunky sneakers, there are plenty of low-heeled pumps on the market that will allow you to be office-appropriate without killing your feet.

Once considered the stumpier younger sibling to the stiletto, kitten heels have been trending for over a year now. Thicker mini heels, and even sculptural ones, have also made a comeback. We’ve rounded up nine pairs with heels that are three inches or lower, from Meghan Markle’s favorite pair to the green ones we’re probably wearing to our next holiday party.

Like Lipstick for Your Feet

Red shoes are perfect for adding some pizzazz, or finishing off a head-to-toe red outfit.

Trendy, sculptural, and on sale.

The Next Big Thing

The Meghan Markle-Approved Classic

Hardly a day goes by that the duchess doesn’t wear some kind of BB Manolo. They’re classic, and only 2 3/4 inches high.
