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 “tacky” can actually look incredibly chic. Stepping out in L.A. on Wednesday, the actor completed her casual yet elegant outfit with a pair of low heels in white leather, 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. For her first outing, Johnson chose to pair them with some hip-grazing low-rise jeans, which immediately contrasted the glamorous nature of the small heels. Leaning further towards the casual side, she styled her daytime look with a crisp white tee and layered a cosy black cardigan over the 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 heels again, this time in an entirely different way. Reaching for a tailored suit set in a crisp white shade that complemented the shoes, it was the sort of outfit I’d lean on for the more formal occasions in my calendar. For weddings, I’d switch the suit for a brighter or pastel colour; the white shoes, however, I’d keep in place. I also know they’d pair just as well with a light, flowing dress for a fresh summery look.
