The Kitten-Heel Shoe Trend Is Replacing Flats in 2024

As fashion editors we’re constantly monitoring new season trends, whether they be micro or mega, we want to know about them. Whilst some crop up suddenly, others have a slower, steadier approach—avoiding a huge spike in interest, but rather enjoying a tempered incline. My experience in the industry has taught me that these are the trends that stick.

Over the past few months I’ve spotted a few new-season styles that fall into this promising category. Pencil and wool skirts have enjoyed a resurgence, and crew-neck cardigans are back on every corner. On the footwear front, there’s no trend that I’m more compelled by than the revival of the kitten heel.
