HOW TO STYLE BOHEMIAN'S MID-HEEL
“Fashions come and go. Only style endures.”
– Coco Chanel –
Sky-high heels can be absolutely stunning, but they aren’t always the best choice when you have to spend hours on your feet. While we love them too, at Bohemian Shoes we’ve chosen to create a 4.5-centimeter mid-heel that lets you stay comfortable without sacrificing that fabulous feeling. We’ve designed them in a pump style, made of suede with a leather lining, and available in three colors (navy blue, mustard, and coral). They’ll be a versatile addition to your wardrobe for most of the year.
If you've been wondering how to style this type of shoe, you've come to the right place. In this post, I'll show you how to do it—and more…
A brief historical overview
For those of you who love to know all the ins and outs of the world of footwear, I’ll tell you that the word “high heel” comes from the Italian term “scarpa” (literally translated as “shoe”). The verb “escarpiner” means“to run lightly,” which is somewhat of a contradiction given how difficult it is to run in certain types of heels… And if you don’t believe me, tell me who hasn’t at some point nearly ended up face-first on the pavement from “escarpinating” in heels…
Another interesting fact is that high heels were worn by both men and women until the 20th century, when they became an exclusively feminine accessory.

It's a matter of anatomy. The heel that best suits your body type
Sometimes we don’t realize that, depending on our body type, one style of shoe can be more flattering than another. The same applies to heels. As with almost everything when it comes to beauty, the ideal is to aim for balance and harmony in your overall look. So, if you’re tall and slender, you won’t need to add extra height, which means lower heels will be your best friends. You’ll also be super comfortable.
If you're tall and curvy, low heels will also flatter you, but you should look for ones that are a bit wider so they balance your figure and make it look more harmonious.
For shorter women, a higher heel is recommended to add a few centimeters in height. If you’re also slender, a stiletto heel will further accentuate the elegance of your legs. On the other hand, if you’re on the curvier side, a high heel with a slightly wider heel will elongate your figure and maintain a balanced silhouette.
How to Style Bohemian Midi Heels. Wearing Heels Every Day
Now I’ll give you some ideas on how to style Bohemian’s midi heels. If you’re someone who wears heels with dresses and skirts every day, a midi heel will let you stay comfortable without sacrificing the sensuality and femininity of this type of shoe. If you pair them with jeans or other types of pants, my advice is to avoid ones that are too long. Ideally, they should leave part of your ankle exposed, so the shoe is clearly visible and takes center stage. If you follow this rule, you’ll look great in any pants.
Midi heels also look great with a jumpsuit, as long as you keep in mind what I just mentioned. Choose a jumpsuit length that doesn't hide the shoes, so they can really enhance your outfit.

During the hottest months of the year, midi heels look great with shorts. We usually associate this garment with other types of footwear, such as sneakers or espadrilles. However, when paired with mid-heel shoes, shorts take on a character and sensuality that flat shoes simply can’t match. They’re therefore ideal when you want to add a little “spice” to your look.
Skirts and dresses also look great with Bohemian-style pumps. They pair especially well with midi-length styles, allowing you to create looks that are feminine, elegant, delicate, and stylish.
