A good pair of heels can do a lot for a woman, but on the days when we want to be a little more grounded, we turn to flats. This stylish footwear needn’t be any less fashionable, but they should be more comfortable. Depending on your outfit, you can choose from a plethora of colours in styles such as the classic loafer, the chic smoking shoe, or the timeless ballet slipper. Remember, just because you are losing four inches does not mean you have to come up short on style.
