How to Wear Flat Shoes. 

advice from About.com

  • Find a color, style, design, etc. that adds spice to your outfit and help you stand out.
  • If you prefer simple flats, try dressing up your look with stylish tops, pants, skirts, etc.
  • Don't wear flats with a long skirt. Flats can make you look shorter, so try wearing a skirt that is knee-length or higher.
  • Capris are perfect with flats, but if you want to wear long pants, make sure they're not too long because you don't want them dragging the ground. Opt for a flare leg over really tight pants to make your look more stylish.
