For your shoes to give your outfit a touch of sophistication, a pointed toe is generally more flattering than a round toe. What matters even more is your comfort, especially when you’re running errands or on your feet most of the day. No one wants blisters and sore feet but looking and feeling great also matters! If you think “Jane, you’ve got a point,” let’s talk some more about the beauty and versatility of stylish, well-made, and super comfortable pointed flats and explain how you can wear them for a winning look.
The best thing about pointed flats, I think, is that you get the comfort of a flat coupled with the style of a pump. Heels get a lot of love from us girls because they make our calves look slimmer and our legs look longer, but not many women can walk in heels all day without at least some discomfort. It’s also fair to say that after 2+ years in slippers and sneakers, many of us are struggling with wearing high heels again anyway.
The good news is that a well-fitting pair of pointed flats has similar qualities and are just as eye-catching as heels, and that’s why we’ve created a range of absolute stunners. I’m sure we have a style you’ll love here at Millwoods, and that each pair is durable and ultra-comfortable to wear is a given. We’ve designed them that way!
It's what catches the eye
What makes pointed flats so special is that the tapering point creates the illusion that your lower half is longer, slimmer, and therefor instantly sexier. Because the toe part of the shoes is narrower than shoes with rounded toes, such as ballerina flats, they visually extend the line of your legs. For that reason, pointed flats really do exude the same level of style and elegance as heels.
Just keep in mind that ankle straps, no matter how cute, visually shorten your legs, especially if you’re a little on the short side anyway. Horizontal straps make the eyes pause early when looking up, and that makes your legs appear shorter, no matter how slim and toned they are. There are ways to avoid this, by wearing leggings in the same colour for instance, but flats with ankle straps usually look much better on tall ladies.
A pair of stylish pointed flats works with almost any outfit. They are ideal to wear to the office, and pair beautifully with a suit, wider leg pants, and most dresses. If you’re attending a formal event and want to skip the heels, no worries. You can look totally elegant and stunning with a pair of pointed flats. Choose an ankle-length gown or pants to give your legs that desired longer look, while also showing off your stylish shoes.
Elegant vibes and casual chic
Pointed flats also have the power to make a more casual outfit chic. Simple and a little polished is all you need to create a stunning put-together look. Denim on denim turns classy in an instant with a pair of pointed flats. If you pair them with boyfriend jeans and a nice comfy jumper, you’ll look super pretty. When you wear them with jeans or nice trousers, they also create a lovely base for your favourite tops and jackets.
You can even wear pointed flats with tailored or jeans shorts or short skirts and a jacket if you like. It gives the look a smart and polished edge. The only thing I’d say they’re not ideal for is loungewear, and of course it’s also better to wear some nice sneakers or snoafers when you’re going for sporty or another uber-casual outfit.
You have quite a few options to choose from when it comes to colours and prints for your next pair of pointed flats. My personal favourites from the Millwoods collection are the zebra and leopard print Maple Mules. They’re such fun! I also love my pointed flats in light tan, as the light brown hue is incredibly versatile. It’s warm and natural and gives my different outfits a great vibe. I wear mine happily to a business meeting and just as easily when meeting up for drinks with the girls.
