Ballerina Flats with Business Outfits: Our Styling Tips
For a stylish appearance, the look must be coordinated from head to toe - because first impressions count! The right shoes play a major role in this. Pumps may look good, but they start to hurt after a short time. The more comfortable alternative: ballerinas.
IT'S THE DRESS CODE THAT COUNTS
In some companies, there is still a prescribed dress code. Depending on the industry and position, this varies greatly and ranges from business formal to casual. We explain the differences.
BUSINESS FORMAL
This dress code is the most formal and is often required for management positions, finance or insurance professions. For the classic look, women choose a trouser suit or a suit in darker colours such as black, dark blue or grey. A light-coloured blouse in white or pastel shades underneath. Knee-length, simple dresses with sheer tights are also permitted. Wear with pumps or closed shoes with a low heel.
Our tip: If you have plans after work, simply put a pair of comfortable ballerinas in your handbag. Your aching feet will thank you.
BUSINESS CASUAL
SMART CASUAL
Sophisticated everyday wear is probably the best way to describe this style. Young companies in particular are focussing on the smart casual look, which should make you feel comfortable in the office and in your free time. Whether dresses, skirts or trousers - the outfit should be casual but remain respectable. Cardigans, jumpers, T-shirts and dark jeans are also fine here. However, you should avoid ripped or used jeans. You have more choice when it comes to shoes: From ballerinas, to plain trainers and boots, everything is allowed.
CASUAL
The casual style is not really a dress code but simply the normal everyday look. It can be colourful and eye-catching. Nevertheless, there are basic rules you should follow. Shorts and mini skirts are a no-go, even in summer. Tops without straps or with only very thin straps must be skilfully combined, e.g. with an elegant kimono or a chic midi skirt. Apart from flip-flops or slippers, you can wear any shoes, including nice sandals.
BALLET FLATS TO YOUR BUSINESS OUTFIT - OUR TIPS:
- The trousers must not rest on the shoes. It's better to show a little ankle.
- Skirts should end just above or below the knee. A-line skirts fit best.
- Pointed ballerinas are sexy and elegant. They make the foot appear narrower but also longer.
- Round ballerinas look more natural and girly - you can never go wrong with them.
- If you can't do without heeled shoes, always keep an emergency pair of ballet flats in your car or handbag.
- Socks with ballerinas - opinions differ. In cold temperatures, it might be better to wear boots or ankle boots.
- Always keep ballet flats clean and care for them. Our Eco Ballerinas are machine washable at 30°C, for example.
