They say you shouldn’t wear flats to work. Well, that actually depends on the dress code your company practices. If it’s very “corporate” (read: business attire only), then perhaps not. But if your office allows smart casual dressing, then wearing flats on days when you feel the need to take a break from high heels will definitely sound like a good idea.
And yes, you can look professional to a certain degree in flat footwear. The key is to make sure you wear the right pieces. And by this, we simply mean flat shoes that are closed at the toe and heel, and preferably pointed.
You can even look like the lady-boss by taking a cue from, say, Jessica Alba.
It’s no secret that apart from being an actress, Jessica is also an author and a businesswoman. She started The Honest Company, which sells environment-friendly home products that are safe for children.
As a founder, Jess attends meetings regularly. In fact, she was spotted heading to one at the Internal Environment Institute yesterday. For the occasion, the actress wore an outfit made up of a detailed lilac blouse and some dark high-waist denims belted at the waist. She then punctuated the combo with a long coat in the same pastel shade, some pearl earrings, and a pair of pointy d’Orsay flats. Uber cool sunnies added just enough drama to a look that was both casual yet polished and professional all at once.

Doesn’t she look great here? Would you like to take a cue and steal her style?
Again, the key is to make sure you wear the right pieces. Choose items that are polished. In other words, your jeans have to fit well and must be in that deep blue color. The long coat must be tailored and structured, while your flats have to be sleek and pointed. Also, you must take note of the small details such as keeping the hair neat in a bun and accessorizing with pearl earrings and a belt to refine the look and make it elegant.
For those who are unaware, Jessica’s pointy d’Orsay flats are from Jenni Kayne. They follow a two-piece silhouette with the sides open to expose the feet. These shoes come in many renditions and color variations. On Jess are the gray suede versions.

Would you like a pair?
These Jenni Kayne flats are not your typical. Aside from the distinct silhouette, they also feature higher vamps compared to most pointed flats. The Penny Loafers from Jenni Kayne are not cheap either. Grabbing a pair will set you back between $495 to $595. Not to worry, though, because a lot of brands are offering similar styles at a fraction of the cost. Check out these dead ringers from Chinese Laundry. Not bad for substitutes, right?
