Men are as fashion-conscious as the women these days – this is a fact. This can be further proven with the emergence of the latest fashion for men. It’s with the use of high heels.

This may be a surprising development, even for the opposite sex, but men wearing high heels are now a fashion craze. Some of the favorites include the rockstar-inspired heeled boots and stiletto style shoes that still exude that masculine aura.

Popular personalities such as Karl Lagerfeld and France’s Prime Minister Nicolas Sarkozy were also seen jumping in the bandwagon as their heels were photographed to be about an inch and a half long.

Even men were seen wearing heels in popular fashion shows in New York, Paris and London.

Popular designers such as Gareth Pugh and Marc Jacobs revealed that they keep a certain amount of women’s heels in their closets.
