With the onset of the monsoon, you don’t want to be playing slip and slide in your tall heels all day. Ditch the sky-high stilts and get comfy in a pair of ‘ground level’ flat shoes. Don’t be silly, they aren’t as boring as you might think, not when there are so many types you can try!
Here are five pairs of flats you can experiment with, depending on your everyday style.

Brogues

They’re the quirkiest type of flat shoes. They’re not sneakers (you won’t look like you’re going to the gym in them) and they’re not too casual. You can easily pair them with a blazer for a smart office wear look.

Ballet Flats

Everyone has a pair of these. They’re usually the shoes you carry in your purse to switch into after a night of clubbing. But why go through all that trouble? Wear a sparkly pair and step out – you can’t tell me Dorothy’s (The Wizard of Oz) ruby ballet flats were too casual.

Sandals

These are great for the day. Swap them for your day wedges and you’re all set. They’re the middle ground for when you don’t want to wear flip-flops or ballet flats.

Smoking slippers

These are the cool version of your ballet flats. They’re all about the luxury and they look très chic. I mean, with a name like ‘smoking slippers’ what did you expect?

These are the comfiest pair of the lot. Pair them with anything and add that instant ‘beach-babe’ feel to your look. They’re easy to throw on and don’t give you any kind of trouble what so ever. Also, one word – Havaianas.
