It’s time to throw the boots away and one of the shoes we turn to are none other than the ballerinas (as we call them in Europe!). Flats, pumps, ballerinas… No matter what you call them, they are some of our favorite shoes to wear! They are comfortable, they are cute and they go well with both skirts, dresses, pants and shorts.
There are so many different colors, shapes and details to choose from and they are to be found in many different price ranges.

How to wear flats…
Wear flats for a more comfortable and casual look. Flats can make an outfit more edgy by choosing a pair of flats to go with a classic dress or skirt, but they can also make your outfit more feminine, if you choose a feminine color, print or detail like flower on top of the shoe!
When it comes to flats, don’t be afraid to choose them in a color! The shoe is so simple and subtle that it can afford to be a little crazy and fun!
Style Inspiration…
Wearing a pair of cute flats with your skinny jeans and a blazer will give your outfit a cool rock chick wibe – think Kate Moss! Kate Moss is often seen wearing flats and looking cool in dresses and skinny jeans topped with an oversized bag and RayBans!
Wearing flats with your dress will give you a more casual and relaxed feel, think Kate Bosworth!
Kate Bosworth has the good girl theme going on. Her innocent look is always well put together and she looks ultra feminine in whatever she wears. Wearing flats with her dress gives her a little more edge, but she still looks feminine and sophisticated!
Too Short For Flats?
I don’t think so… Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Nicole Richie, Victoria Beckham (Yes, Victoria Beckham!!), Eva Longoria are not the tallest women in the world who love the high heels, but also rock ballerinas and look fabulous!
A Tip…
Have a spare pair of flats in your handbag when you know you’ll be walking around a lot!

I have always been weird in regards to wearing flats as my feet are big. This post makes me want to give them a try again!
Thanks so much, Maile! So happy to hear that! :)
I love flats, they are so convenient and you can wear them almost with everything. I’m going shopping this weekend and plan buying a pair or two :)
They are comfortable, but pretty shoes! Have a great shoe-shopping-trip! :)
I’m a ballet flat-aholic. I own so many, I even wear them in autumn and winter with tights. They are so versatile! :)
Yes, they really are… Go with every outfit!
When you buy flats you must make sure you can walk in them first. I like the kind with the elastic heel because they never fall off — but some I just walk right out of. The bane of skinny feet.
True! The ones with the elastic heel are great because they stay the same, while the regular ones can get too wide and fall off! Tried that ones – a little bit embarrassing to leave your shoe behind ;)
I always wear my square toe ballet flats barefooted even when it is cold
Hi Milana, I am so glad I found your website.
Its awesome. I like your fashion advice.
I like flats but I have a hard time finding right shoes for me because I have wide feet. If I put on the ones that doesn’t have much structure, it gets in a weird shape and it creates an empty space in area where my feet isn’t as wide (think of a upside down triangle shape feet and rectangular shape shoes.. But if i put on the ones with structure, then it really hurts because its not made for people with my feet shape. :( any suggestions? Im totally missing out on the flat shoes scene….
