High heels weren’t always about fashion. In fact, they were first worn by Persian soldiers in the 10th century to help secure their feet in stirrups. 🏇 When European aristocrats caught on in the 16th century, heels became the ultimate status symbol—signaling wealth, power, and prestige.
But by the 18th century, women claimed heels as their own. 👑 From French court fashion to the flirty pin-up styles of the '50s, high heels evolved into icons of femininity, confidence, and strength. Whether it's a kitten heel or sky-high stiletto, heels became a tool for self-expression—and yes, a little drama.
In the ‘80s, heels strutted into the workplace, helping women project confidence and authority in power suits and pumps. 💼 Since then, they’ve made appearances on runways, red carpets, and dance floors around the world—always evolving, but never going out of style.
At Squeem, we admire the way fashion empowers women. Just like our shapewear, high heels don’t just shape your body—they elevate your spirit. ✨ It's about how you carry yourself, how you feel, and the confidence that radiates from within. Whether you’re in sneakers or stilettos, empowerment is the ultimate accessory.
So next time you slip into your favorite heels, remember—you’re not just making a fashion statement. You’re walking in the footsteps of centuries of bold, unstoppable women. 💃
