High heels and stilettos are great for the party season, but unlike Carrie Bradshaw, you can’t live in them. Your shoes need rest, and so do your feet, and with the wide variety of wedges, flats and brogues out there, there is no need any more to wear heels to be fashionable.
Flat sandals and ballerinas: Uma Thurman wears them on the red carpet, so why can’t you wear flats to a party? A nicely embellished pair of flats are as good as a pair of heels in brightening up an outfit, while maintaining a relaxed vibe.
Check out these kalamkari print sandals by Rohan Arora that could be worn with a white designer summer dress, or an earthy tunic, to bring out your inner flower child.
Ballet flats, too, add a delicate elegance to an outfit, and are a perfect substitute for high-heeled pumps.
A pair of ballet flats in a colourful print, like this pair over here, when worn with a black dress, or a dressy pair of shorts with a chiffon blouse, can look more stylish than your average pair of heels.
The rise of Loafers and Brogues has filled up the gray area that lies between sneakers and ballerina flats.
They are masculine, with a dash of feminine grace, and pairing a slouchy pair of black pants, a loose khaki tank top, and these hand-painted brogues is the very picture of laid-back chic.
If you must have your heels, and some of us must, then try wedge heels. They give you that vertical boost without straining your ankles, and they can be dressy as well as casual.
These slingback wedge pumps are funky enough to spice up a simple white shirt-blue denims combo, and elegant enough to go with a churidar-kurta or designer couture sari ensemble.
