Today for our coffee chat, we’re not asking ourselves “how low can we go”, but rather how high we should go…That is, how high our high heels should be in a professional, corporate setting.
I have to admit to being genuinely shocked at some of the fashions I’ve witnessed in some professional settings. From 7-inch heels to too-tight pants, the fashion etiquette in some corporate settings just seems to be veering in a very inappropriate direction. To put it mildly, the rule should be basic when it comes to high heels at the office: “If you’re going to wear them on a night out with your girls, then you should probably skip them for the office!”
So how high is too high for heels at the office? A good, conservative estimate would be anywhere higher than 4″. If you can keep your heel height anywhere between 3.75″ and 4″ or lower, even better…
Back in April of last year, Capitol Hill Style had a great diagram on acceptable heel heights for the office, and a great post on it too! As you can tell below, anything past the red line…much too risqué for work!

For our shoe pick today, we’ve selected this conservative yet strikingly stylish Stuart Weitzmann Jazzbow pump. At 2 1/4 inches, not only is it appropriate for the office, but it also certainly pairs well with most of your wardrobe. It’s on sale for $199, down 50% off.
Do you agree with the corporate “heels-tiquette”?
