What kind of flats do you wear with a dress? For a formal occasion, go with a polished option like an embellished ballet flat or pointed toe slide in a special occasion fabric, like satin. For casual everyday, I personally like a classic fashion sneaker or basic ballet flats — they’re super versatile but polished enough for any occasion.
First, How can I wear flats without looking frumpy? The key to looking stylish in flats is to keep the rest of your outfit short or fitted. Try pointy flats with Capri pants, a shrunken T-shirt, and a fitted jacket. If you wear a skirt, go for on that’s short. Since you’re not wearing heels, it’ll look chic, not provocative.
Can you wear flats with an evening gown? For formal wear, assuming the gown grazes the floor, I see absolutely nothing wrong with wearing flats. It won’t look “off.” That’s actually the best way of doing formal wear “comfortably.”
Second, Can I wear a midi dress with flats? Trendy ballerina-style flats with a pointed toe can make great alternatives to a classic flat. Choose a pointed flat in patent, satin or metallic finish, and pair it with a cocktail midi dress. An office-appropriate midi can look just as professional with a buttery black or nude pointed or almond toe flat.
