Skirt, pants, dress... With what can you wear ballet flats?

The ballerina:it's all a question of morphology

A real "must have" in our wardrobe, the ballerina is practical in that it suits all body types. You still have to know what to pair it with so as not to age, give yourself a packed appearance or tone down an outfit. Like all flat shoes, it is obvious that templates under 1.65 meters take the risk of not elongating their silhouette enough. Of course, if you are not a fan of vertiginous heels, you might as well turn to a pair of ballet flats which will bring a more pronounced touch of femininity than a pair of sneakers. The tallest among us can afford to wear ballet flats all season long without risking appearing shrunken in flats. Whether you are round or thin, the most important aspect in your choice of ballet flats will be the look adopted by your feet when putting them on:with a slightly thick foot, avoid at all costs the pudgy aspect of a shoe too tight. Prefer a low-cut model that will let your foot breathe without compressing it.

Skirts, dresses, pants:what do I wear with my ballet flats?

After finding the ballerina model that suits you, it's all about knowing what to wear it with to best enhance your silhouette. If you choose a basic model (black, leather or fabric, more or less indented), do not hesitate to shift your outfit to highlight your ballerinas. Forget the classic raw blue slim, and opt for 7/8 pants in bright colors that will break the rather wise side of the shoe. Models with ribbons to tie around your ankles exist:if the latter are not too chubby, why not fall back into childhood by putting on a tutu-style skirt at calf height? Do not hesitate to shift your look with a denim jacket or a perfecto so as not to look like a little girl. To wear them with a dress, the principle is above all not to abuse the maxi-dress which will tend to hide your feet. A fitted model, bohemian, tube or 1950s type, can do the trick very well. Dare the colorful ballerinas! Tired of the classic black ballet flats that you see on every foot in town? Pastel or vivid models can come to decorate the saddest of jeans and highlight it. The fashion faux pas to avoid? Wear tights with your ballet flats. Even if it is tempting to combine them to enjoy them longer when the temperatures are still low, there is nothing less classy than wearing ballet flats with tights under a skirt. Of course, nothing prevents you from putting on stockings or knee-highs under your pants:choose them flesh-colored so that they blend with your skin tone.
