Don't worry, my love for stiletto heels is still worryingly intense! But lately I've started to find myself wearing flats more often. Why? My life involves a lot more walking from place to place now and as a result, my arches have been begging me to give them a break every now and then. No problem! Because there are tons of chic options around. My concern had always been that wearing flats would take away that glamorous edge and leave me feeling, well, flat! Thankfully, these luxurious suede loafers from Hugs & Co. have convinced me otherwise. So, for all of my fellow stiletto-obsessives, read on to find out to how look stylish while wearing flats...
Personally, for me the key to discovering how to look chic while wearing flats, has been increasing the textures and patterns, but decreasing the chaotic colour palettes. I started from the bottom and worked my way up; with these Hugs & Co. Penny Loafers providing the perfect opportunity to reach for neutral shades. Oh and aaaall of the bonus points for being so ridiculously comfortable - not a blister in sight!

Oh Gabrielle you are as glam and stylish as ever! After all it's the girl who makes the clothes not the other way around ;p These loafers are super chic and so is the way you have styled them
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute outfit, really love the blouse with the jacket, so chic!! You look marvelous my dear x
ReplyDeleteI rarely wear flats but if such a situation occurs I like to keep my outfit as classic as possible; jeans and a white T-shirt work every time and in the absence of heels I'd amp up the outfit with jewelry.
ReplyDeleteLove the leopard trousers on you! I dunno if could pull them off but they definitely suit you. xx

They look so cosy and comfortable! :) I'm all about the flats, I can't chase after the boys in heels, haha!
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking your leopard print jeans too - I have a ink pair I'm looking forward to wearing when the weather cools down!
Hope that you are having a good week so far :) We finally got a break in the heatwave last night and it was so welcome!

Cute shoes for Spring, but Snow/rain/water is the enemy of suede.
ReplyDeleteBoots would be better.

ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous weekend xx

Love this look! I have some suede loafers in black and they are soooo comfortable and smart. Thank you for reminding me that I have them as I tend to live in boots during the winter months! I think they really make an outfit look smart, and I like how tan colour goes with the leopard print! Angharad x

I love the look of the loafers! Unfortunately for me, my feet are so sensitive that I can't really wear heels at all. It always hurts like hell after two or three hours of wear them, even when I don't walk all that much. So for me, it's flats all the way! These are beautiful and very versatile. I love the colour palette of the outfit too, with the leopard print and the pop of yellow of the bag - wonderful styling Gabrielle!

Look at those pants! Love those loafs too, you look preppy and comfortable. You’re so brave wearing suede in the winter.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend Gabrielle :)

These are the most gorgeous photos Gabrielle, I love them! Flat shoes are something I struggle with as they're always fairly uninspiring I find but these loafers would go with so much in my wardrobe!

I'm loving the way that the animal print looks on you especially when paired such nice flat shoes... very chic indeed! - www.jamilakyari.com
ReplyDeleteThose Calzedonia jeans look so gorgeous on you. The white ruffled shirt is so pretty and it is a great match with them (and other brown tones in your outfit). The combination of shades and colours is simply perfect. I like these kind of tonal earthy looks, they're simply perfect for winter.
ReplyDeleteThe flats you're wearing are so pretty. These are the only kind of flats that I like, you know the ones that resemble or are in the style of oxfords or moccasins. The ballet flats are very chic too but they always hurt my feet. Those flats you are wearing look super comfortable...and very very stylish. Lovely photos. The snow makes for such a nice background.

Loafers are a kind of shoes I have never considered, but given the result of your outfit I should indeed! A perfect match between clothes and shades!

trovo questo abbinamento perfetto
ReplyDeleteIf I can find comfortable flats that don't give me blisters or hurt my feet then I'm all for them. My thing is though that I'm so used to wearing heeled boots that now whenever I wear flats it's like my feet aren't used to it so they actually hurt more!

I love the look of these suede loafers! You styled them so well - interesting pattern + texture, and still so classic. I'm pretty entrenched in winter right now but there's a pair of loafers in my closet I can't wait to wear come spring.
