Which States Wear High Heels the Most?

We love a good homework assignment, especially when it has to do with our favorite subject, high heels! We took a look at which states in the US wear high heels the most and we think that you’ll be surprised by the answers; it knocked our socks right off!

New York

The Big Apple is also big on fashion. Some consider it one of the fashion capitals of the world, and our data confirms that New Yorkers love their high heels! Nevermind the amount of trips uptown or downtown, New Yorkers love their heels and don't mind the trek.

Ohio

Here's a surprise, but apparently Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati are big fans of big heels. Ohio is considered the "heart of it all", and it appears they <3 their heels. 

Texas

The largest state in the lower United States, the Lone Star State is not alone in its love for high heels. Texans are the 4th state where people wear heels the most. The capital of Texas is Austin which claims to be the live music capital of the world. The city boasts an impressive line-up of music festivals like SXSW and Austin City Limits. Festival go-ers must dress to the hilt and they don’t forget to rock their favorite pair of high heels when rocking out.

California

If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear the best high heels! With so many big fashionable cities under its belt, this one was no surprise to us. From beaches to wineries and mountains to urban landscapes, California has it all and there's no reason their feet shouldn't look top notch.

Florida

With Florida's dynamic demographics of young people and retirees, this one was an interesting revelation. But great weather often prompts equally great fashion, and Florida has some of the best of both. A cute maxi dress or flowy linen pants both look equally elegant and timeless with a classic pair of heels.

New Mexico

Located in the South Western part of the United State, New Mexico is known for its varied landscape and for its vibrant population. The state is home to dramatic mountains, canyons and sandy desserts. In the capital of Santa Fe one may find healing spas and Spanish architecture. There is also a lively arts and restaurant scene here. We think that the patrons must be well-heeled when they are enjoying their gallery walks and a haute cuisine because this is the state that wears high heels more than any other state.

Nevada

Nevada residents must like to strut around in high heels. If you can imagine the population of show-girls on the Las Vegas strip, that would equal a high-heeled army. Not to mention the incredible shoe shopping that luxury casinos  have to offer. What is a girl to do with a pocket full of gambling winnings? Buy shoes! With warm temperatures year round, who doesn’t wear high heels in Sin City?

Arizona

The “Grand Canyon State” comes in at the top as well. Though we admire Arizonans love of high heels, we certainly hope that no one is hiking around those canyons in them!  Also located in the South Eastern United States, Arizona is known for deep canyons, a warm dessert climate and the largest cacti in the country. One fun fact is that the state flower is the Saguaro cactus blossom. We would tuck one of those blossoms behind one ear and sport stiletto huaraches around Scottsdale.

There are the top states that wear heels the most. No matter what state you are in; don’t forget to celebrate your most fashionable self whether that is in high heels or not.

What to Wear to the Office During the Summer

Our Top 5 Trends Keep you Professionally Cool When Temperatures Rise

Warmer weather is a perfect excuse to jazz up the work wear wardrobe. Now is the opportune time to mix in colors, prints and accessories that might look less than appropriate during the winter months. 

Look for inspiration everywhere. Allow music and art festivals to inspire your professional fashion spirit. Don’t forget that farmer's markets, outdoor concerts and other venues can be a wealth of outfit inspiration, and a treasure trove for that hard-to-find accessory you’ve been searching for.

1. Fitted, Detailed Dresses

These can be a fun day-to-night work option for the summer. Feel free to mix up the textures: leather and mesh, silk and metal, and a throw on a jacket and some accessories for an extra polished look.

2. Bright, Vintage-Inspired Prints

Who doesn’t feel lovely wearing bright floral patterns? Are fruits and flowers too much for the cubicle? Try a small purse or hand bag in a fun print.

3. Slick Jacket

A slick jacket is the working girl's go-to piece. Again, texture is fun, especially in the summer. Look for linens, soft suede and and juxtapositions in style/print like this floral bomber jacket or a sequined tuxedo.

4. Sequins

A few sparkles can really jazz up an outfit, but a word of caution; when incorporating sequins, a little goes a long way. Keep it to one sequined piece or accessory and pair with neutral tones.

5. Pencil Skirt

Look and feel pretty, and powerful! The pencil skirt is timeless, flattering and feminine, and can hold its own during a power lunch. Look for lightweight fabrics that offer some stretch and pair with a blouse.  

As a fashion conscious professional, use the summer to experiment with your professional look. Dabble in sequins and prints and, when in doubt, don a slick jacket. And don't forget some foxy shades. You're feeling cooler already!

Our Favorite Kitten Heels for Spring

Something about the name kitten heels just makes us giggle. It's like you're not a full fledged cat yet, and aren't ready for the big girl high heels. But, we at Clickless LOVE kitten heels and think they're versatile for all sorts of activities. Try these kitten heels on for size the next time you're looking for a new work outfit, going out on the town, or want to look nice on a shopping outing.

But first, for the record, what defines a kitten heel? It's typically a stiletto heel that is less than 2 inches in height. Often, it's 1 or 1.5 inches. They were introduced in the 1950's and can be found on many types of shoes, from pumps to sandals.
