Jared Leto Continues the Trend of Men Wearing Heels
Sneakerheads, brace yourselves: The men’s heel is here to stay. From heeled boots to, yes, pumps, men in heels has been a rising trend amongst stylish celebrities including Harry Styles, Justin Bieber and Kanye West. And the daring style choice only seems to be gaining momentum. (After all, as the boundaries of menswear continue to shift and evolve, it’s only natural that the heel heights are getting higher, too). The latest celebrity to get some lift? Jared Leto.
Stepping out at the 2018 MusiCares Person of the Year event, which honored Fleetwood Mac, the stylish actor arrived in an all-white ensemble with pointy heels to match. His tailored blazer, slouchy pants and pointy heeled boots were straight off the runway from Helmut Lang’s Spring 2018 collection. Seeing how the collection was designed by Shayne Oliver—who often designs progressive and genderless collections, especially at his now-defunct label Hood by Air—it’s no surprise he’s beyond Leto’s latest risky look. But if anyone is going to pull it off with confidence, it’s Leto—after all, he's also been known to wear Alessandro Michele’s flamboyant designs for Gucci with complete ease.
