Evening dress and shoes without heels? Why not! Learn how to wear comfortable shoes without sacrificing style.
You will be surprised, but the division of shoes into evening and day according to the height of the heel arose relatively recently - only in the 50s of the last century (say thanks to the invention of metal studs that can withstand the weight of an adult woman). Up to this point, women of fashion wore shoes with comfortable (and in every possible way approved by orthopedists) heels 5-6 cm high.
By the beginning of the 60s, ballet shoes appeared on the catwalks, which entered the trends not without the participation of Audrey Hepburn. By the way, she successfully combined feminine dresses with flat shoes.
With the rise of hippie culture, any self-respecting stylish lady found it necessary to replenish her fashionable arsenal with shoes with thick heels, and only by the end of the 90s did high heels become a must-have attribute at evening events (all thanks to the popular series "Sex and the City").
And so, since the days of Carrie Bradshaw, this has been the custom: women stubbornly climb on stilettos, so that half an hour after the start of the event they complain to their friend about the wild pain in their feet and confess their fierce hatred for the person who invented the heels.
Even if your height, build and health allow you to stand for several hours in high heels, believe me, you can effectively fit flat shoes into your evening wardrobe (and as a bonus, get the opportunity to dance all evening and not worry about slippery steps in the banquet hall) .
Perhaps, when you hear about evening shoes without a heel, the first thing that comes to your mind is classic ballet flats. But do not rush to put on comfortable shoes with a round toe under your favorite cocktail dress. You need pointed pumps without a heel (in extreme cases, with wide heels no higher than 3 cm).
A pointed nose will allow you to successfully combine pumps even with those skirts and dresses that just ask for a heel (for each this length is individual, but, as a rule, the most difficult length of a skirt is up to the middle of the calf). This style of shoes visually lengthens the leg and makes the foot neat and compact, which solves the issue of maintaining proportions.
Since you are going to an evening event, shoes should support a smart dress code. Boats will suit you:
This is a more elegant version of pumps, it is suitable for long evening dresses. The rules for such shoes are the same: shoes must be smooth and shiny and have a pointed toe.
These shoe models came to the women's wardrobe from the men's arsenal, so they require special care, especially in the context of an evening event.
If you fulfill the following conditions, you can wear them both with an evening trouser suit, and with a skirt (especially A-line) and a midi dress.
In winter and autumn, it is permissible not to change shoes into removable shoes in the evening. The whole secret is in the correct selection of high boots.
Yes, you didn't hear it. Those are the most fashionable sneakers today without laces. Fashion magazines never get tired of publishing stylish looks with these comfortable and stylish shoes.
Of course, this is an option for courageous women who like to "play tricks" and break established rules. Ideal slip-ons will fit into the set with a dress or A-line skirt. Again, subject to certain conditions.
AT again everything is decided by shine and smooth texture. Slip-ons with a metallic sheen, holographic effect, embroidered with sequins will suit you. But leave cotton slip-ons for walking on the weekends or hiking with children in the sandbox.
Try one of these options and see: soon after the start of a corporate party or a wedding reception, other guests will look at your comfortable and beautiful flat shoes with envy.
Flat shoes under the dress fashion magazines full of stylish images, combining beautiful flat shoes under the dress. If you are an ardent opponent of heels or just lead an active lifestyle and cannot do without sports shoes, the ability to combine such an image will not be superfluous.

But with the advent of winter, you have to choose between beauty and convenience, and quite a few girls, refusing to icy heels, are excluded from the wardrobe and dresses.
However, you can look feminine at any time of the year. Winter wardrobe: Properly selected shoes will give harmony to the image and for this you need to be guided by a sense of style and fashion.

The most win-win option is knitted dresses with short elegant boots made of thin leather and tight tights.
Matching accessories in style and color will complete the look. Dresses below the knees in combination with tights or stockings are suitable for high suede boots. Knitted and wool dresses will make an elegant complex with narrow suede boots.
Over the knee boots are quite popular. These shoes are quite whimsical, but in order to avoid any incident, you should follow some rules: Tight boots can be combined with mini dresses, sweater dresses with a wide belt are also suitable.
A fairly common mistake is jockey-style boots. The asymmetry characteristic of such shoes and the buckles look rather controversial as with elegant dresses as well as office ones. Demi-season wardrobe: Autumn and spring are great times for bright looks.
To create a strict style, a sheath dress in a set with a classic jacket and elegant high boots is suitable. Such an outfit is considered both for work and for business meetings. For a festive look, you can create an ensemble with the same elegant flat boots, a dress and a leather jacket or bolero.
Summer wardrobe: It's no secret that summer sandals and flat sandals are undoubtedly in every girl's wardrobe. If you go to sea ideal option there will be light long sundresses and dresses with Greek-style sandals made of golden leather.
So that a long dress does not visually shorten the legs, you can wear a maxi-style dress with side slits. To impress others and create an effect long legs, you can combine a short dress with flat sandals.
Short dresses with a straight hem and loafers will be a pretty stylish combination for summer walks. Ballet flats are the most versatile option in summer. Short dresses with a jacket can be safely combined with them for daily outings, because ballet flats are stylish “slippers”.
Who came up with the idea that boots are not summer shoes? Most girls, even with the advent of hot days, do not want to give them up. For such fashionistas, there are special boots with embroideries and rhinestones made of light materials that can be worn with lace dresses. In some models, the feet are open, which allows the legs to breathe in the sultry heat.
Hats, leather bags and long pendants will give a very fashionable image. Evening look: When creating an evening outfit, an image is created in the head only with high heels and chic dresses. Of course, heels are always elegant and attractive, but you can also look great without a heel.

It is better to choose shoes from light material, satin or thin leather, decorated with rhinestones, patterns, buckles are not excluded.
Sandals with an evening dress in the Greek style will give a fashionable and bold look for the whole evening. Recently, Hollywood stars have not missed the opportunity to appear in elegant ballet flats with evening dresses on the red carpet, showing a perfect example of the fact that lush evening dresses can be combined even with ordinary ballet flats.
If there is a gala evening ahead, and hairpins cause discomfort and torture, then you can safely remove them. Today you can pick up a lot of elegant looks with flat shoes, looking stylish and impressive.
Low boots and flat shoes came to us from the men's wardrobe. These boots will look spectacular with skinny trousers, with any kind of jeans, with dresses and skirts. You can complement your look with a loose fit shirt, T-shirt or jacket.
Such shoes are an indispensable attribute of traveling at sea or in warm countries. Clogs in the Birkenstock style are very popular even in the city in summer. A little rule: the richer the decor of the sandals, the more concise your clothes should be. And vice versa. Sandals with unusual decorations in the form of animals or insects, with fringe or “gladiators” go well with simple form a T-shirt or T-shirt and denim shorts, a dress without bright and flashy prints, a straight or flared skirt.
One of the most versatile shoe styles. They fit with any outfit. In addition, in summer, the most versatile color will be beige, which also visually lengthens the leg. Ballet shoes can be combined with short skirts, shorts, skinny trousers, cropped jeans.
The only negative is that such shoes are most suitable for tall and slender girls. The combination of ballet flats with elongated trousers and jeans is categorically unacceptable.
Comfort conquers the fashion world. Now you will not surprise anyone with a combination of a dress + sneakers or a skirt + sneakers. After all, the combination of sporty white sneakers and feminine clothes has already become almost a classic.
The main and most significant trend of this summer is mules. Mules, clogs, slippers. From leather, suede, textiles or even technological materials. With closed or open nose. With embroidery. With a fringe. We advise you to pay attention to the combination of clothes and this kind of shoes so as not to look like you really “recently got out of bed” or “went out to the next entrance for bread”, which we already mentioned in the article about “Pajama Style”.
Also at the peak of popularity - flat platform shoes. Two extremes - futurism and natural style.
V-neck shoes reminiscent of traditional Moroccan "granny" slippers.
Shoes without a heel - it's infinitely comfortable! But many girls think that such shoes are unfeminine and far from elegant. Let's disprove this statement and learn how to wear flat shoes with style and beauty!
After all, often the image depends on the correct choice of clothes, additional accessories and the right presentation!
BOOTS
I can't imagine how to do without shoes without a heel in the autumn and winter time! You can comfortably run in them on business, in the garden, at school, at work, driving, on your own, in skirts, trousers, jeans and any outerwear, do 1000 things, get into snowdrifts and accidentally step into puddles, be in time everywhere and stay stylish. Simple lace-up boots. Without rhinestones, spikes and additional decor, they go with everything without exception!
And such brutal shoes, sometimes, like no other shoes, are able to emphasize our femininity, fragility and grace. , boyfriend jeans, short skirts, shorts are a small part of what you can wear these shoes with. The only style in which, in my opinion, it is not very appropriate to experiment with such rocker boots is. Otherwise, experiment!
CHELSEA
These ankle boots with a very small heel are perhaps the most versatile option for the autumn-spring period.
Don't limit yourself to skinny jeans and culottes. Dresses, maxi skirts, leggings and colored tights also go great with this flat shoe!
OXFORD, BROOGS AND DERBY
Boots and flat shoes came to us from the men's wardrobe, but we are no less elegant and graceful in them than in stilettos.
I recommend walking these boots with straight trousers (for a spectacular dandy look), skinny trousers, any kind of jeans, and even dresses and skirts. Complement your look with a shirt, loose-fitting textured sweaters, T-shirts and jackets, leather jackets and cardigans, straight-cut or oversized coats.
LOAFERS
Another thing borrowed from the men's wardrobe, which blended so harmoniously into the women's wardrobe, as if it had always been there.
MULI
The last few seasons, flat mules have won the hearts of notorious fashionistas. Mules look like backless loafers. And they go with just about anything.
BALLET SHOES
Beige ballerinas are perfect for any outfit! Beige is the most versatile shade in summer, including making your legs look slimmer and longer.
For daily walks, ballet flats can be safely combined with 7/8 length skinny trousers, shorts,. Of course, dresses and skirts of any length will also come in handy. From above, you can put on a short jacket, trench coat or jacket.
BOOTS
The most familiar to most of us shoes for the cold season are boots.
Tip: if you want to buy versatile boots for the season so that they can be combined with any clothes in your wardrobe, be it an office dress or jeans, then choose the basic model - that is, plain boots WITHOUT (!) any decor (strap, buckles, jewelry) ).
A typical mistake many girls make is buying jockey-style boots. They are distinguished by an asymmetrical shaft and buckles with straps, typical of riding shoes. These boots look great with tight trousers, leggings, sweaters or jackets, but they look dubious with dresses and skirts and are absolutely not suitable for office clothes.

SUMMER SHOES WITHOUT A HEEL
I think comments are unnecessary here. Sandals or sandals without heels are an indispensable attribute of traveling to the sea and to warm countries. And don't forget about the Birkenstocks.
SNEAKERS AND SNEAKERS
Fashion is fashion! Something always appears here that destroys established stereotypes, otherwise there would be no development, ultra-modern collections, bold ideas with a seemingly mix of things. Fashion, by its nature, tends to surprise, introduce new things, and not everyone can understand new trends right away.
Trend recent years is such that a lot of fashion comes from the streets. Now, of course, I'm talking about sports shoes - sneakers and sneakers :-)
Everyday life with its comfort is gradually conquering the fashion world and looks quite natural.
Summer version - sneakers / sneakers with dresses and skirts smoothly turned into winter version- fur coat or coat with sneakers. To match outerwear with sports shoes or rough boots, choose basic or.
SLI-PONS
Another option for a basic flat shoe that goes with everything while keeping our feet rested.
The shape of slip-ons is very simple and concise, so it is much more interesting to choose a model in bright colors or with an unusual print. Rhinestones, embroidery, metallic sheen are also an option :-)
It's funny - a few years ago, many girls could not even imagine that they could look stylish without heels in flat shoes. Today comfort defines almost everything!
However, many note that a comfortable look in flat shoes does not always give a figure in the very at its best. Often, it is precisely because of the wrong style of clothing that things “do not sit” on the figure and distort the proportions for the worse. And boots, sneakers and any shoes with flat soles only emphasize imperfections.
In the basic course at the online school, I teach how to correct the vicissitudes of the figure with the help of the right clothes and shoes. So this question is solved by my students after one lesson, practical homework and my personal recommendations!
Flat shoes are often worn under a dress. It doesn’t matter if you dress in this style or you just don’t like the heel, or it doesn’t suit your lifestyle, but it makes sense to learn how to wear this combination correctly.
Different dresses are combined with flat shoes. It can be casual, business dress and even elegant, each style is consistent with certain shoes and requires a certain taste and sense of style.
Depending on the model of the dress and where we are going, we will have to choose shoes. Many girls, who are used to the fact that heels are sure to go with a dress, are lost when they have to wear flat shoes with dresses. Many even give up dresses forever if their lifestyle does not allow them to wear stilettos.
It doesn’t matter who you work as - you love a teacher who has to spend a lot of time on his feet, which also doesn’t go well with a heel, but you can wear dresses if you learn how to correctly compose an ensemble.
Winter wardrobe. Heels and ice is a dangerous combination. Winter shoes are most often low heel or does not have it at all, how to wear dresses with her?
The undisputed favorite of winter fashion is a knitted dress, it goes well with both sports winter boots and ordinary ones. The first will come in handy if you are going for a winter walk. For the ensemble, you will need a knee-length or slightly higher winter dress, thick tights, boots, and a parka or down jacket. As winter accessories, you can use gloves and leg warmers that look beautiful with boots, scarves and hats in the same color or with the same print.
Regular winter boots look cute with wool dresses and sweater dresses, which are suitable for both a business wardrobe and a casual style.
Dresses for boots without a heel must necessarily fit them in length. The hem should not cover the shaft, unless it is a tight winter dress with a trapezoidal skirt that widens to the bottom.
Demi-season wardrobe. Spring and autumn are a good reason to wear a dress. A dress with heeled boots will look great. For youth fashion and informal styles, you can choose boots with high tops. For example, they will look good with dresses in the style of rock, military, safari.
If you plan to wear dresses to work, opt for low-cut boots or flat ankle boots. But it should be borne in mind that in this case the top should be narrow, wrapping around the leg. Boots with a wide top are more suitable for everyday style.
Summer wardrobe. Summer is the time for long walks and relaxation, you want to wear a light dress, but what shoes to choose for it? Dress with sandals without a heel - a good choice for every day, and for long walks, espadrilles and any sandals, including gladiators, are suitable.
On the way out, the dress can be worn with shoes without a heel. Bandage or any other tight-fitting models will look very nice with such shoes.
A dress with summer boots without a heel can be worn both long and short. Low boots without a heel with wide tops are suitable for short country-style dresses, including denim models. Long sundresses are best worn with tight-fitting boots.
business style. If you are forced to move a lot and get very tired from heels, then this is not a reason not to wear a dress. But it is worth remembering that not all styles fit. For example, dresses narrowed to the bottom, “godet” styles, peplum models - they all go under the heel. For ensembles at low speed, it is better to choose a simple straight or A-shaped dress, or a fitted model with an A-line skirt, sheath dress.
In winter, business dresses are worn with flat boots, it can be knitted dresses, sweater dresses, woolen and cotton warm models. Flat shoes under the dress should be chosen in a classic style, without shiny jewelry. It is better to give preference to leather models with a comfortable shoe.
Sporty style. In this style, heels look strange and at the same time sports dresses are a must-have in the wardrobe. What to wear them with? Polo dresses look great with sandals, sneakers, sneakers and other sports shoes. A tennis dress can be worn with sneakers with low socks or pair them with ballet flats.
At first glance, it seems that sports dresses can be easily worn with flip-flops, however, this is a style mistake. Not all shoes can be worn with sportswear, especially with a dress, as long as it does not have a heel, and slippers will be completely out of place in the ensemble.
