Ballet Flats

Now that spring is finally underway, we are starting to see a lot more of ballet flats. Although ballet flats have become a huge hit for the fall and winter seasons, they are extremely popular in the spring season. This is due to the fact that once the Spring season has finally come around the corner, everyone is SO overly READY for warm weather! Of course you are going to throw on some shoes that are cute, spring colored, and bare a little skin in light of the warmer weather. There are so many different designs of flats these days that you can wear a pair for almost any event.

            Flats can be very comfortable and are also known to be very convenient. If you are in a hurry, all you need to do is slip on a pair of flats and run out the door.

            It is very strange that flats were invented in the 1500’s and they were originally worn as men’s shoes. Now-a-days, we see a lot of pointy-toed flats; however, back in the day, around the period of time when they were invented, social status was based upon the length and shape of the flat. The longer and pointier that the flat was, the higher the social status you held. It is very interesting to see how these trends have evolved.

            Now, in this century, the ballet flat is an essential part of every woman’s wardrobe. These shoes can be worn casual, to work, or you can even dress them up and wear them to events such as weddings or other various parties.
