The ballet flat has been essential to any woman’s wardrobe. Inspired by a ballerina’s footwear, women are able to look classy without the pain of a heeled shoe. The flat carries on today. We see it in business wear, for tall women who don’t want to accentuate their height and in casual, everyday looks.
But you can only do so much with a ballet flat. A fun colored flat is always fun. Somehow the shape remains the same.
Well, let’s take the ballet inspiration a little farther. A pointed toe adds some edge. And adding straps that go up the ankle almost replicate a ballerina’s pointe shoe. This adds a little flare to your business look or simple jeans and a T-shirt look! Finally, our childhood dream to be a ballerina can come true (almost)!
Strappy flats are perfect for the summer to fall transition. They work with a summery dress or jeans and a sweater. They are bound to add some flair to any season’s outfit.
My advice to you is to take your outfit to the next level by adding some flair in your footwear. For fall, a strappy flat is perfect for jeans on a cool weather day! We can look to how this Fashionista upped her simple, casual look with a strappy flat. She pairs a striped tunic tee and cropped jeans with her strappy sandals. Her jewelry and bag just top off her look. Her outfit is literally “en pointe.”
