Flat footwear, or flip flops, besides recuing you from the blisters of stilettoes, can also make you look good, fashion gurus say.

Stilettos are sexy, but what can beat the delight of  trotting around in a flip-flop or a flat? And the best part is, they are  fashionable too! A fashion must-have for all women, flat shoes accentuate almost any outfit and there is one for every occasion - from strappy flats and tie-up sandals to ankle-length boots and formal-looking oxfords. So even while you shake your legs this Navratri to nine days of fun-filled dandiya raas, give your feet a break every and slip into a pair of comfy yet fabulous flats. Follow the guidelines below to keep your fashion quotient high, even when your heels aren’t!
 
Very vintage

Add that instant element of nostalgic fun to simple day dressing or classic vintage dress with old school Mary Janes!  They go fabilously with tea dresses, culotte skirts or pants and 1950s cinched-waist outfits.

Go traditional

What better way to amp up your ethnic look than a classic Jaipur mojri.  Get as many in bold bright shades, neutral tones and even those with dainty mirror work! Kolhapuri chappals work just as fine. Make your pick!

Glam it up

When you are looking for something to glam up your sexy evening wear, just go for a flat gladiator sandals in metallic leather. These strappy beauties can chic you up in no time!

Chic it!

Take a pair of white canvas converse shoes and give them a makeover by experimenting on them with some graffiti. Thread in some neon laces and there you have a show-stopping pair of shoes to go with your denims.

They not only 'chic' up your look, but also make you look younger...not to mention cutely sportive.
