Flatforms: The Trend




All set to be the hottest trend this year – the Flatforms are a cross between Flats and Platforms. 



They are chunky, not delicate or petite and are anything but elegant. So, why are we writing about it here at Taarey?


Well, because this new trend is here to stay. Spring 2011 runways witnessed many a designer and model sport this new trend, including Chanel, Derek Lam, Vena Cava and Prada.


This shoe is going to translate very well from runways to everyday wear, because of the sheer wearability (is that even a word?! But u know what we mean) and comfort factor.


These versatile shoes are easy and comfortable (unlike the ankle breaking toothpick heels we have had thus far) and give the height... We personally love this new comfortable, yet stylish look. So, what’s to hate?


Maybe the fact that they aren’t as delicate and pretty... But this trend is soon going to grow on everyone.. Soon enough you will see it everywhere and your mind will start telling you these bricks on feet are normal and oh-so-stylish.




How to wear Flatforms

Flatforms are very versatile. They really do make those legs look much longer.
The sole of the shoe is important in deciding if it’s a day / evening wear. While picking a pair, go for the entire look of the shoe because not only does the design count, but in this case, also the look of the huge sole is important.
They work very well with flared trousers, dresses (of almost any length). Get them in colours to suit your style and ensemble.
