Thanks Trisha. When you think about it the fashion do’s and don’ts are always changing and they are changed by people who don’t pay any attention to the fashion do’s and don’ts.

“Don’t put yourself in a fashion box. Live and take risks.” — excellent advice, and well put, Chuck!

Hi Kristin,
I think ballet flats are for anyone who wants style, comfort, and a little bit of cuteness. With shorts, skinny jeans, or tights. It all works if you’re having fun. Don’t put yourself into a fashion box. Live and take risks. It’s very freeing. I love my flats and I’m over 50.

[...] We asked: Are Minidresses In or Out?You said: Overwhelmingly, In–with a 70% majority.Omiru’s take: Dresses (and Ballet Flats) are the IT Items for Spring–so your enthusiasm over minidresses isn’t a huge surprise. For those of you who can pull off the mini length, there’s nothing more refreshing than pairing the dress with a pair of kitten heels or cute flats. (Style Tip: Higher heels and a minidress can be overkill.) But the rest of us don’t have to miss out on this trend. Try wearing your minidress with a pair of tights (Style Tip: Darker tights visually slim your legs.)–or even a pair of pants. Next Question: Back in April 2006, we asked you what you thought of Skinny Jeans (you said In, but barely). Now, a year later, we’re asking you again. Tell us, are Skinny Jeans In, or are they Out?

Hi Kristin,

Thanks for the Omiru love! Here’s three suggestions for sophisticated adult flats:

Me Too “Niomi” Flat | $78.95 at Nordstrom
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2911490/
The square buckle is all business.

BCBGirls “Cree” Flat | $88.95 at Nordstrom
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2920126/
The moc-toe makes this flat less girly, and we love the buckle detailing on the toe box.

Bruno Magli “Florita” Flat | $285 at Nordstrom
http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2917746/
Clean lines and a hint of ethnic style make this flat a standout.

Hope that helps, Kristin!

Cheers,
Trisha

I always think that flats look cute on other people. I however feel like I am ten in them. I am in my thirties. Round toes make my feet look huge and my chunky legs look even chunkier. Any suggestions on sofisticated adult flats? I may convert.
PS. I love this site! Especially since you show affordable suggestions like Target etc.

Couldn’t agree more—ballet flats are as versatile and functional as they are stylish!

Khatmandu–sorry about the seafoam. We’ll have to agree to disagree

I love ballet flats- they’re so chic! The functionality is definately a bonus! These are my current obsession, from Easy Spirit in leopard- the trendy print sets off a simple summer dress- I’d wear these with everything!

er…Seafoam? I associate that color with horrid red-oranges and other grandma colors. No thanks.
