My style has always revolved around high heels because they make my simple outfits pop and give me some extra height. But since starting my new job, I've noticed I'm the only one wearing them. It seems like heels used to be common for work, but now they're mostly for special occasions like weddings. What do you think - are high heels becoming a thing of the past for daily office wear?

I don't think they're required anymore and now it just depends on personal style. Personally, I like to add some height and I just love heels/wedges in general so I do wear them pretty much daily.

I love a good platform, too!

Interesting- I noticed this too but I chalked it up to office culture. I switched companies a while back (after taking some time out when my daughter was young) and I assumed my new office was just more casual than my old one. In any case, I alternate between heels and fun sneakers. I’m not a huge fan of flats - they seem boring to me. I love how I look / feel in heels. I also like cool sneakers.

If you like them, wear them! Who cares if other people don't? I certainly don't wear heels, but I always think it's really cool and aspirational when I see other professional women rocking them.

My manager rocks heels every day and I love her for it. I think the fact that she does it even encourages more women to throw some heels on, too. She's also 5'9 already, so when she wears heels, it really makes a statement and I'm here for it.

I’ve traded my heels for flats these days, but I love that you’re sticking with what feels like you. I think heels are less of a norm now, but they’re definitely not gone.

I do think they’re on the way out.

I think all notions of what’s appropriate are over, so if you live heels, wear heels!

Hey Fishes,

I'm just curious since I've seen people working for 20 years in TCS, but I don't know how it is in PWC.

Any help will be appreciated

Help me get over my covid anxiety: had plans with a friend but they got exposed to covid. Got a neg rapid test but feel like they have a sore throat and still want to hang.

We’d be outdoors anyways, so do I put my anxiety aside and risk it or ask them to get a PCR and just postpone to next week?
