Flat shoes with evening wear

Written by Bronny   
Dear Bronny,

My husband is about 4 inches shorter than I am...which is fine and doesn't bother me. The only problem is we have a formal event coming up and I need some advice on how to wear flats so that I won't be too much taller with a gown.

Erin




ANSWER

Dear Erin,

How very celebrity of you! This makes me think of when Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise were together, I bet Nicole was always wondering how to accommodate the fact she is 6ft where as Tom is 5’9”!

First of all there are so many gorgeous flat shoes that you can wear with an evening gown. For example the many roman style sandals are perfect to wear with an evening style gown, think of the French Aristocracy when it was the men who wore heels and women who wore flats. You could even go for a delicate ballet style slip on. The only thing I would say is to make sure your dress is floor length so that your shoe only peeps out from the bottom of your dress. Next make sure you accessorise with your shoes complete with handbag, this way your outfit will have an overall affect to show how the shoes really do compliment what you are wearing.

Have a lovely time at your event and be sure to pop into the Clotheshorse and tell us what you wore!

Love

Bronny
