Flat Out Fabulous
Every decade or so, since their heyday in the 1950’s, the ballet flat and its relations, come on strong in fashion yet again. The simple shoe with little or no heel is parading down runways and streets once more with a renewed sense of purpose. Often thought to be a girlish look, the ballet flat epitomizes a gamine appeal when paired with the full circle skirts of the Dior era (Remember Leslie Caron in “An American in Paris”?). That exaggerated silhouette of longer, softer skirts was a good match for the simple slipper. Currently trending on the fashion scene, the flat shoe has a lot to offer the woman of today in her quest for everyday elegance. Let’s take a look at some cool options in style and fabrication that can take your outfit from drab to fab in no time!
