So for me I am comfortable walking in four inch heels I don't really wear five inch heels anymore unless they are a platform I would say when I was in my 20s and 30s I definitely wore the five inch stiletto heels because I loved them and I felt confident in them but now after I've hit 40 I do try to stay away from the five inchers because they're just not comfortable like let's be real let's be honest so for me I can get away with the four inch heel.
Now if I'm going to wear a pair of heels during the day it's going to be a three inch heel I saved my four inch heels for like going out to dinner or going on a date or something like that you don't have to wear a four inch heel if you're somebody that can only do a three inch heel even a two inch heel is better than a pair of flats I would say stay away from wearing the round toe flats as well those will make you look frumpy those will make you look older than you really are.
Those will also make your legs look shorter so always try to wear at least a small heel but definitely stay away from wearing any heels that you're not comfortable in and that you can't walk in so instead of wearing those sky high heels with that black mini skirt I decided to wear these three and a half inch heels these are actually some knee-high boots they're the same knee-high boots I had on earlier paired with the mini skirt because I do think you can wear a mini skirt over 40 but what you need to do is balance out the look.
