While ballet flats never completely go out of style, this season they are very much in style. Ballet flats were designed for ballet dancers. So, for those of us who have a dancers body (ie, no curves) they look perfect. The ballet flat draws the eye to the mid section of the body and makes the torso look shorter (and therefore wider): hips, thighs and waist. Which makes the ballet flat an unfortunate choice for those of us who do not wish to draw attention to our mid section.
Fortunately, we live in a world of options. For those of us in love with the idea of the ballet flat but not quite the fit, there are beautiful shoes inspired by the simple beauty of the ballet flat. They are a little more structured. They have embellishments such as grosgrain ribbon, buttons or buckles. Many of these shoes also have a short heel to give the wearer a little lift and elongate the figure. They elongate and de-emphasize the torso.
This cute Franco Sarto is inspired by the Salvatore Ferragamo classic grosgrain pump but has a style all its own. Fashioned from ultra-soft kid suede and featuring a cute bow accent, it will work well through the busiest day and well into the evening hours.
