It is possible to wear flats and still look elegant. I know , I know heels get a lot of love for their figure lengthening benefits and the multitude of styles and colors that they come in.

Flats, however, can be a bit of a challenge for many. For many women, life is a constant struggle of wanting your feet to look stylish  without having to deal with the blisters caused by most heels. Fortunately, whoever claimed “pain is beauty” just didn’t know how to style flats. There are countless ways to dress up your flats to look equally as professional, chic, and playful as your favorite stilettos. From ballet slippers to loafers and mules, the styling options for flats are truly endless and worth exploring — starting today.

In this article, we dive deep into the world of flats, how best to wear them, and how to go from normal to chic with a few changes.

First of all flats can fall into various categories relative to how high up they are on your leg. There are four main categories: beneath the ankle,ankle length, above the ankle, knee high or above. We will focus our attention on one category.

Beneath the Ankle

Beneath the ankle styles are the typical flats (From round toe to peeptoe, as well as sandals). The height of these style flats is right below your ankle bone.These can be quite flattering on a variety of body shapes and tend to go with most looks from dresses to looser pants. 

Much like nude pumps, when you select a great tone matching pair with the right toe shape (like pointed toe flats), you can elongate your figure when pairing the flat with a knee length dress, shorts, etc.

To keep them looking chic , pay attention to your body shape and the type of bottoms or skirt/dress you are wearing. Leaner body shapes can usually pair these flats with wide leg or extremely loose trousers.This look adds a bit more volume to your frame, which is not the best look for a balanced and fuller bodied frame. 

 

For curvier figures, these types of flats look best when paired with knee length or long skirts and dresses and slightly more structured bottoms, which do not add additional volume.

If you work somewhere where you have to do a lot of running around, then you need a perfect flat footwear. All you need is to choose those shoes that will match most of your work wardrobe essentials. I recommend to try on our round toe ballerinas with color styles that look both posh and polished.

  1. I love my flat shoes and think perhaps it is finally trending because the last time I went to my shoe shop, they had so many designs with colors, embellishments and the works. I had a hard time leaving some of the shoes behind. 🙂

  2. I am a living example of the idea that, after 40 plus years of wearing heels, our bodies were never made to stand up and walk in that position without suffering the consequences later on. Flats and sneakers are now all that live in my wardrobe!

  3. Love this article Leila! I have flat feet so have mastered the art of wearing flats and have a beautiful collection spanning many years, some vintage. Comfort is key for me, and the right pair of flats can be worn anywhere these days. A trend that I loved the last couple of years have been sexy espadrilles because they have a flat foot-bed and add height. I have a pair of flat boots that come up over my knee – so fashionable! I can put on a small heel on a boot or shoe if I’m going into a restaurant, or somewhere I know I will be sitting, but with the gorgeous styles out now – I almost forget to wear a heel. Cheers to flats and the women who wear them!

  4. I never really liked flats that much, didn’t feel they looked as good or felt as good, until last year something started to change, I found some that fit my style & filled my soul, it’s always good to expand
