– For formal occasions, prefer embellished flats. – For a sexier look, style your dress with a metallic sandal that wraps around the ankle – A pointed toe always looks more flattering when wearing a shorter dress and creates a more sophisticated look – You can wear any kind of flat with a maxi dress, even ankle boots – If you have plantar fasciitis or knee problems, you might be better off with a kitten heel or small wedge heel than a completely flat shoe.
