Clothing styles for flat shoes


There are just days where flats are the better option, and it doesn’t matter what look you are going for -- there is undoubtedly a perfect pair of flats for you.

 

Below is a simple guide on how you can easily style your outfit together with your flat shoes! Pull off that corporate, laidback, casual, or edgy vibe with these quick tricks. 

  1. Wearing Flats Shoes with Skirts and Dresses

During warmer seasons, pair your flats with dresses and skirts that sit above the knee. You can push it a little bit just under the kneecap -- but anything longer can make you look shorter. Give the illusion of being tall by showing more of the lower leg. Unless you are really tall, avoid dresses and skirts that go as long as your calf.


 

  

In colder seasons, you can wear legging or skinnies under your favorite dress for added warmth. I guarantee it will look equally lovely with your flats!

 

  1. Wearing flat shoes with jeans

The same rule applies to jeans and khakis. Avoid calf-length jeans as they tend to make your legs shorter than usual. Your best bet would be pants that are cropped nicely by the ankle-bone to give the feel of longer legs. 


With jeans, you can also fold up your favorite pair up until your ankle-bone for the same effect.



  1. Matching your favorite tops with flat shoes

Take advantage of the line of sight and retain that balance with the correct length of tops and jackets, anything too long will give your look a baggy feel and might not work well with your flat shoes. 


Tops and jackets that are too long will give your upper body a longer look, compared to your lower body, making your legs look shorter.



A quick check: if it goes over your bum, it is too long. If your top is too long, loosely tuck in your pants in the front to help the visual balance in your upper body.

 

  1. Corporate Look with flat shoes

 

  

Whether it’s a regular day at work or one of those busy seasons, a pair of flat shoes will not just give you that added mobility and comfort. It will add a professional vibe, too. 


Tailored blazers and ankle-length pants make the perfect pair for your chic flat shoes. Knee-high flat boots are a great choice too! Go for black or neutral colors for a more classic look or hustle in style with a pop of color or a snakeskin pair for added dimension.

 

  1. Elegant Vibe with flat shoes

 

  

Attending a formal event and you want to skip the heels? Worry not! You can look equally elegant and stunning with a pair of flats! Go for ankle-length gowns or pants to give your legs a longer look, while also showing off your stylish pair.

  1. Overcoats, Blazers, and Jackets with flat shoes

  

Your favorite top, jeans, and a pair of flats might seem like basic pieces, but wait until you add a tailored overcoat or a jacket that ties together this chic, cozy look - that is also extremely comfortable and versatile.


  1. Summer/Maxi dresses in flat shoes

 

Depending on the weather and your style, you can match your summer dresses with lace-up flats or a sparkly pair to complete your look. Go for that boho look with maxi dresses and lace-up sandals for a stroll by the beach or dress up with jeweled or studded flats for a fun and feminine vibe.

 


  1. Laid-back/Casual style with flat shoes

 

More than anything, flat shoes casual are perfect for laid-back clothes, especially on lazy weekends, a brunch date, or even simply hanging out with friends at the park. From sweaters to jeans, t-shirts, and flat shoes --- these pairs are just a match made in heaven.


  1. Edgy/Grunge look with flat shoes

 

Oversized or button-down shirts, distressed jeans or skirts, leather, and a good pair of flats. An edgy look is one of the easiest to do with flat shoes, especially with a casual vibe going on. If you prefer more glam rock, you can still wear your dream flat shoes by spicing it up with accessories.
