From classic womens pump heels to fun fresh iterations here’s the shoes we’re wearing and how to style them

Pump heels are back in style and go hand in hand with the quiet luxury, 80’s power dressing and preppy Mary Jane trends of 2023. While pointy toe pumps are a chic style staple that’s been around for decades, if not centuries, and may be a work outfit go to, it tends to go in and out of runway fashion. I have more than I care to admit to as I always love a pointy toe and high stiletto heel. Just when I’d relegated them to the top shelf, they’re back in style again! So get ready to give a ladylike finish to all of your outfits this summer and fall. Here’s the trending pump heel styles to know and the best styles to wear this trend in 2023.

My favorite women’s pump heels for comfort | Sarah Flint

Sarah Flint shoes are known for their comfort, as well as their elegant and feminine look. What stands out is their discerning sourcing and commitment to how their luxury footwear is hand crafted in Italy. Their pricing is also fair for a luxury brand as they’re direct to consumer.

I was nervous ordering shoes online from a brand I didn’t know but I find they run true to size in most styles. They’re such a great women’s pump for wearing with jeans, a top and blazer for everyday. As well as summer dressed or co-ord sets.

How to style womens pump heels

12 women’s pump heels outfit ideas from casual to glam to take you through all seasons:

Metallic pants with a bustier and jacket looks glam without trying to hard.
For minimalistic chic copy Vanessa Hudgens and style a black jumpsuit with black heels. Add a matching longline coat for colder days.
Stiletto heel pumps always work with gowns for completing an elegant look.

Add a statement piece like Nicky Hilton Rothschilds animal print jacket to an otherwise simple black outfit and heels.
A sweater dress and closed toe pumps are perfect for transitioning from Summer to Fall or for Spring. Add texture like a faux croc leather trench coat like Anne Hathaway did with her black heel pumps.
Pink is still trending so why not create a monochromatic look like Leonie Hanne did at the Michael Kors show. The more glam and the brighter the pink the better.

Embody the Chanel aesthetic in Mary Jane pumps, a voluminous midi skirt and pretty white camisole top.
Elevate a simple pair of jeans and denim jacket with any color pointy pump heels.
Forever classic: LBD + black stiletto pumps.

For a fresh take on the above go for a colorful pair of shoes versus matching black.
With a sharp pants suit for workwear. The bigger the shoulder pads for 2023 and power dressing the better!
With a shorts and blazer coord set to take the look from day time casual to a night time easy chic style.
