Wedges: They add shape to heavy ankles, stabilise your weight and look great with a dress of any length.

Stilleto heels: Also known as spike heels, they look striking when worn with gowns, minis or tunics. They shape up your hips. But avoid wearing them for a longer duration and practice a little before flaunting them — you wouldn’t want to fall flat on your face in public!

Block heels: Thank God for the blocks! They don’t torture your feet and help spread your body weight equally.

Gladiator heels: The hot trend this season, you can find these Roman-esque sandals in ankle-length straps or right up to your calf!
