You might not be pursuing the childhood dream of becoming a ballerina but chances are that you have a few pairs of ballet pumps in your wardrobe. If you purchase glossy fashion magazines to stay in tune with the latest fashion trends, you may have noticed that flat shoes don’t go off their pages. Keep reading to know how you should wear your flats this season.
Red ballet flats and denim wear
Like flat shoes, denim wear never goes out of style and the combination of flat shoes and denim clothes always works well. Since bright juicy colours are trendy, you can purchase a pair of red leather ballet pumps with round toes and tie detailing and pair them with a short denim skirt and a denim jacket. According to designers, nothing can make your red ballet pumps stand out better than dark denim clothes. At the same time you make a good investment in your wardrobe: red shoes can be worn with almost any piece of clothes as long as it’s not red. If you want to create a business look, wear a high waist knee length grey pencil skirt and a white blouse with elbow length blouson sleeves. Such an ensemble looks very corporate in spite of your brightly coloured flats. For an evening look put on a black form-fitting dress and pair your shoes with a red clutch bag or jewellery embellished with red crystals – flashes of red should come in small doses.
Animal-print ballet flats and solid clothes
Do you want to look like a fashion icon in your ballet pumps? Then you need to add a pair of flats with animal prints to your shopping list. Since animal prints are the hottest fashion trend this season, you have an unlimited choice of footwear: animal-print calf hair loafers, moccasins with ladylike square toes, flats featuring sequins in an animal-print design, dyed leopard-print bobcat hair ballerina flats and many more. Animal-print shoes can be paired with red cropped pants and white tops for a casual look or a solid dress for going out. If you want to emphasise prints, wear your shoes with black clothes and gold-toned accessories. Don’t overdo wearing animal-print ballet pumps and brightly coloured items.
Sophisticated flats for work and parties
According to designers, sophisticated flats embellished with rosettes, corsages, bows or studs can add a feminine touch to any outfit. Check the latest collections and select your favourites: pale pink ballerina flats featuring an all-over rosette design, beige suede flats with rosettes to the front, nude suede flats with hand sewn crystals and others. When properly accessorised, flat shoes can help you look elegant and chic on any occasion. You can adapt them for your office clothes if you put on a blouse with long bow tie detailing or for a cocktail party if you opt for a one-shoulder dress with a floral corsage trim.
These are guidelines which may give you an advantage in your look this season. Whatever the occasion, you can look polished in ballet pumps if you know what to combine and how to combine.
