A woman in high-heeled shoes is something special. The views of men immediately focus on the owners of such shoes. And the fact that the heel is too high does not stop many women of fashion. However, let's see what a 16 cm heel is, which refers to the unwritten standard in the fashion world.
Why do ladies prefer high heels
In general, the reasons why the weak half of humanity is preferred to high heels or the thinnest hairpin can be called a lot. But the most important of them lies in the fact that a lady in high heels looks much more impressive than in a combination of the main wardrobe with the same flat sandals.
First of all, this not only increases growth (and some want to rise above others), but also emphasizes the slimness of the figure. You may not have ideal proportions like, say, Merlin Monroe, but high-heeled shoes clearly excite the imagination of the stronger half.
It is not surprising that almost all models, stepping on the red carpet, prefer this option. Even with a height of 1 m 55 cm, you can look very attractive. So, for example, the famous singer Doro Pesch, who is one of the symbols of modern women’s heavy metal, wears such models of high-heeled shoes.
The same can be said of a guitarist named Lita Ford.
And we are not talking about such famous fashionistas as Victoria Beckham, Beyonce, Lady Gaga or Katy Perry, who are sensitively following the most modern trends in the world of shoe fashion. True, they do not always use 16 cm heels in their everyday wardrobe. What can I say, the Romanian designer Mihai Albu recently created a unique model of shoes with a stunning hairpin length of 30 cm. In an interview, she said that hardly anyone then from the stars dare to wear such shoes. But, apparently, this does not stop anyone.
Optimum hairpin height
If you understand, the 16 cm heel, so to speak, slightly exceeds the generally accepted standard, which is behind the scenes installed on a 13 cm bar. Such a height of the heel or stilettos is optimal in the fashion world.
However, women have never been embarrassed by standards. For the most ardent fans of shoe fashion, there are absolutely no barriers. Here, as an example, it is worth mentioning the officially registered record, even entered in the Guinness Book of Records. The height of the record holder is as much as forty-three centimeters.
However, as practice shows, such a long hairpin is necessarily combined with a massive platform. We will not particularly consider sandals with 16 cm heels right now, although they are very popular. Better dwell on the related elements.
Best platform height
It is interesting that in terms of the platform, trendsetters are often men who are absolutely not shy about wearing it. Now in the same Austria or Germany you can meet men wearing platform shoes. Naturally, the heel of 16 cm is missing here, but the appearance of the shoes allows you to immediately conclude about courage and type.
One of the legislators of men's fashion on the platform is the famous glam group Kiss. It is not surprising, because their images from the moment of their appearance have always been emphasized with special shoes. Take, for example, the cover of Destroyer, which was released in 1973. We are not talking about the fact that earlier such shoes were worn by representatives of groups such as Yes, King Crimson, The Shocking Blue, etc. Naturally, here you can also include the king of rock and roll Elvis Presley.
But in the fashion world, it is believed that the best platform option is a height of not more than 8 cm in combination with high heels for women. A heel of 16 cm in the presence of such a platform allows you to maintain good balance and does not create any difficulties or inconveniences in movement.
Of all the shoe models, shoes are worth highlighting. 16 cm heels are used precisely at their creation. Well, there are a lot of models that have such super-modern equipment, moreover, among the world's leading designers and brands that are trendsetters in this area.
By the way, often to attract attention, a 16 cm heel is decorated with special embroidery on fabric, precious or semi-precious stones, etc. A woman, just walking along the street, sparkles with all the colors of the rainbow.
Instead of an afterword
Of course, it can’t do without oddities, but women are much bolder in terms of fashion than men, not to mention emancipation, so a hairpin with a height of 16 cm is not the limit for many.
Moreover, some world brands specifically create deliberately shocking shoes that, for example, could be worn by Lady Gaga, famous for her non-standard addictions to the most unusual outfits.
