A knife-edge-toe silhouette, often accompanied by a slingback heel, is the most classic form of the micro heel, harking back to Audrey Hepburn levels of elegance. Today, you can contrast the prim-and-proper effect with baggy jeans and oversized trousers – after all, opposites attract.

Versatile as they are, neutrals aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. Luckily, the micro heel is not immune to the pull of a summer palette. The likes of Alexander McQueen, Bruno Frisoni, Loewe and more know that we all like to bring in a pop of colour via our accessories, and these bright hues instantly liven up a low-key silhouette.
