BENEFITS OF WEARING HEELS

I can’t remember a time when high heels weren’t a priority in the world of fashion. I mean they’re a timeless fashion trend for a variety of reasons. Whilst some people may seriously argue that heels are uncomfortable, often practicable and trend heavy, they still have the ability to make women feel like the capable, and confident creatures they are.

5 Benefits of Wearing High Heels

1.    Additional Height

The most obvious benefit of high heels is the additional height. Every individual will have their own reasons for wanting to increase their height; a shorter, more petite woman may want to decrease the height difference between herself and a taller significant other, whilst a curvy woman may want to appear more streamlined and slender. Or a taller woman might just want to appear even taller.  Height has the ability to create a variety of illusions; businesswomen appear more dominant, formal evening wear appears more elegant and, obviously, small women appear taller.

2.   Improve Your Confidence

Studies have proven high heels tend to improve the confidence of the woman wearing them. When complimenting a killer outfit, heels make a woman feel more assertive, which results in increased self-esteem.

Who doesn’t want to feel like a million bucks strutting into the office on a Monday morning? Confidence is key to an overall improvement in all areas and we never say ‘no’ to a little confidence booster. You may find that all you need is your favorite pair of shoes to unlock the confidence you need in your social life, career, or love life.

3.   They Improve Posture

For those struggling with maintaining good posture, high heels may be the ultimate answer. This simple hack for good posture is an age-old trick that will have your shoulders back, chest out, and chin up in no time. When wearing high heels, you are much more aware of your movements and may find that you tend to move with more grace and elegance.

Due to the heel on the shoe, your back is automatically straightened in an effort to maintain your balance- once your back is straight, the rest of your body will automatically adjust the desired posture as a result, it’s that easy.

4.   Draw Attention to You

A good pair of high heels have the power to instantly improve any outfit, resulting in all eyes being on you and your killer style.

If you enjoy being in the spotlight, high heels are a must. Studies have shown that a good pair of high heels is appreciated by both males and females. Males appreciate a woman in heels and favor the look, whilst females tend to enjoy admiring the outfits of other women, taking fashion tips, and comparing different styles.

1. Toned Physique

Instead of working out five days a week,  high heels have the ability to improve your physique.

As mentioned in #1, high heels create the illusion that you may have lost a few pounds due to their streamlining effect. However, that is not where it ends. Show off your toned calves, elongated legs, and boosted bottom. High heels accentuate the calves, which results in our legs appearing to be longer and more toned, as well as our buttocks looking a lot perkier. This instant lift and elongation are welcomed by most, who don’t love looking great without hitting the gym!

6. Heels make you more attractive.

Again, some scary science: researchers have studied the concept of beauty as it relates to professional success, and wrote in “Psychology Today” (as reported in Business Insider), “beautiful people tend to bring in more money for their companies, and are therefore seen as more valuable employees and harder workers.”  Since other studies show that high heels make women more attractive, it seems to follow that high heels equals more attractive equals more money for the company and you. And that sounds like a winning equation to me.

All this is not to say that you can’t have a successful career in flats. I just think that you’ll give yourself a leg up (pun intended?!) if you go for the heels.

So ladies, get out those heels (and credit cards) and be sure to treat yourself to a foot massage when you get that promotion.
