When you pick your shoes for your travels, you commonly opt for flats, don't you? It makes sense! You'll probably walk for miles on end and flats are simply the most suitable for that. With that said, you'd do well to pack at least one or two pairs of heels in your luggage. You never know when you'll need to wear a dressier pair of shoes. You might get invited to a fancy soiree, for instance. Or you score tickets to a fabulous night at the theater. In these situations, these snazzy heels from the likes of Manolo Blahnik, Gianvito Rossi, or Bottega Veneta will do!
Among many of the
Italian designer shoe brands out there, Aquazzura is known for its pretty and dainty pairs. And these bow tie pumps are no different! With such a sleek and sexy stiletto silhouette, the bow design at the back amps up femininity. But it's the overall simplicity that makes it versatile. Pair them with a nice sundress and you have an elegant day look. At night, you can wear them with an evening gown and you'll be the picture of sophistication. And the best part? They're so comfy! The strap is positioned just right that it won't make your feet feel too tight inside.

Bottega Veneta's signature Intreccio technique is on full display and is the best way to show off how expensive it is without showing off any monogram or logo.

Just like Gianvito Rossi's 85mm pumps, '
The Essato' from M.Gemi also shows off a classic pump style. But these 90mm designer heels are also much sleeker than the former. From its delicately curved shape to its streamlined angles, there's almost something sexy about this pair. And that's what makes them great for your travels. Not only can you fit them easily inside your luggage—or possibly even your
carry-on!—but they're sure to spruce up any day or night (or day-to-night) outfit you'll wear on your trip. From casual jeans to a slinky cocktail dress, these shoes pair well with any ensemble!

If you've seen the 2008 rom-com, 'The Sex and The City Movie,' you'll recognize these Manolo Blahnik satin jewel buckle pumps. The blue ones are the exact same pair that Mr.s Big used to propose to
Carrie in a cinematic modern-day Cinderella moment. Fortunately, if you're not one to wear exactly what a fictional character sports on-screen, the
Spanish footwear designer offers these pumps in various other colors. Now, the jeweled buckle may lessen its versatility, but as Carrie proved in the movie, that shouldn't stop you from matching it with any outfit you want. Didn't her blue pair add a pop of color to her look?

Among all the designer heels on this list, Sergio Rossi's sr1 sandals are probably the least versatile. Their sleek silhouette is perfect for an evening look, especially the bejeweled pairs or those made in metallic leather. But for daytime? You'll have to find the right dress! Nevertheless, the short wide heels promote comfort tenfold, arguably even more so than many of the other shoes on this list. You won't have a hard time walking in these, which means they're the best pair to wear when you're going partying in places like Ibiza, Las Vegas, and the like.

Finally, there are Stuart Weitzman's Nunakedstraight strap sandals. With their low heel height and simple silhouette, these are uncomplicated designer heels worth sporting from day to night. Especially if you go for the neutral-toned ones. You can wear them when you go to a party on a
yacht in Cannes under the Mediterranean sun and then to an elegant soiree later that night. And depending on the dress you're wearing, you'll hardly even need to change your outfit at all. Just add some more bling to make it more evening-ready and you're good to go!
