Everything is a question of balance; you have to be comfortable walking in them after all! And it is important that your legs are noticed, not the height of your heels.<\/p> <p>First, make sure you choose the right style and do not skimp on quality. \u2018Cheap\u2019 heels are a no-no.<\/p> <p>The curvature is very important as well: if your foot plunges forward, forget it!<\/p> <p>Also don\u2019t buy pumps which are too big for when your heel slips out the shoe, it\u2019s not glamorous at all.<\/p> <p>The ideal height? 5 cm for day and 7cm for night.<\/p> <p>Second, think about proportions. A very short skirt with extremely high heels screams vulgar \u2013 unless your name is Kate Moss!<\/p> <p>Sexy flat sandals, ballerina and brogues can be very feminine as well. If your toes are on show, make sure you had a pedicure and painted them nicely.<\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/flats-1.jpg\"><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-193\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" class=\"size-full wp-image-193 img-responsive  aligncenter\" alt=\"streetstyle_elegant_flats\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/flats-1.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/heels-1.jpg\"><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-195\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-195 img-responsive  aligncenter\" alt=\"streetstyle_heels_fun_day look\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/heels-1.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/flats-2.jpg\"><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-194\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-194 img-responsive  aligncenter\" alt=\"streetstyle_flats vs heels\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/flats-2.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" \/><\/span><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/heels-2.jpg\"><span style=\"display: block;\" class=\"wrap-img\" id=\"wrap-img-196\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-196 img-responsive  aligncenter\" alt=\"streetstyle_casual_denim_heels\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mariefranceasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2013\/05\/heels-2.jpg\" width=\"320\" height=\"480\" \/><\/span><\/a><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center\"> <p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>Photos: Imaxtree<\/strong><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Question from Sylvie, 39, Toulon, France: \"Are heels always HOT?
