Tall Girls, Short Kings: Why You Should Wear the 5-Inch Heels Anyway

Let’s be real for a second. You’ve spent weeks (maybe months?) scrolling through TikTok and Pinterest, curating the absolute perfect mood board for your prom look. You found the dress—it’s stunning, it fits like a glove, and it gives major main character energy. You’ve got the hair appointment booked, the makeup inspo saved, and you’re ready to eat and leave no crumbs. But then, you hit a snag. The shoes.

You found a pair of 5-inch platform stilettos that are literal art. They elongate your legs, they match the dress perfectly, and they make you feel like a runway model. But there’s a problem. Your date. He’s a Short King. And if you wear these heels, you’re going to tower over him.
