What Are The Benefits Of Wearing Flat Pumps Rather Than Heels To The Christmas Party?

I just love the idea of super high-heeled, strappy sandals for our Christmas Party this year, but I know that I have to walk from the taxi-rank, that I will want to stand around and chat and definitely have a dance. And then there's the walk to get the taxi when we've all had a few glasses of something bubbly. I love, like anyone does, to look glam, but I don't think you have to wear heels these days to do so. Flat pumps can look fantastic if you follow a few guidelines:

  • Go for the ultra-feminine look with frills, pretty tops, and ballerina style pumps - so girly. Choose a pretty frilled skirt which is not too long.
  • Don't worry if you are not so tall, remember the saying that "great things come in small packages" - again small is feminine.
  • Look for a skirt or dress with a shorter hemline as this creates leg length without needing to resort to a heel. If you don't fancy showing too much leg, look for opaque or footless tights. Have a look at "Top Tips For Dressing To Be Slim".
  • For parties there are some fantastic flat pumps with sequins, flowers, diamantes and other amazing designs.
  • Just remember to think "feminine", don't wear too long a hemline, and don't pair them with bootleg or flared trousers (which can look a bit frumpy) and you will have a fantastic party time and wake up the next morning (maybe with a little headache), but with perfectly happy feet.
