I Thought This Low-Heel Shoe Trend Was “Tacky”—Dakota Johnson Just Proved Me Wrong

Trust Dakota Johnson to convince me that the one shoe trend I had written off as looking a little bit “tacky” can actually look incredibly chic. Stepping out in Los Angeles on Wednesday, the actor completed her casual yet elegant outfit with a white leather low-heel shoe, before wearing the shoe trend again with an all-white look. Needless to say I’ve never been more interested in owning a pair. Let me tell you why.

Firstly, they’re more versatile than I thought they were. For her first outing, Johnson chose to pair them with some hip-grazing low-rise jeans, which immediately contrasted the glamorous nature of the short heel. Leaning further towards the casual side, Johnson styled her day-time look with a crisp white tee and layered a cosy black cardigan on top. This is the sort of look I know I could throw on for a multitude of occasions, be it work or grabbing a bite to eat with friends.

Just hours after she was snapped in her jeans look, Johnson wore her white low-heel again, this time in an entirely different way. Reaching for a tailored suit set in a crisp white shade that compliments the shoes, this is the sort of outfit I’d lean on for more formal occasions in my calendar. For weddings, I’d switch in a suit in a brighter or pastel colour, the white shoes, however, remaining in place. I also know they’d pair just as well with a light, flowing dress for a fresh summery look, too.
