You know when you're scrolling through Instagram and an outfit catches your eye enough to make your swiping finger stand still for a moment? That's what this handful of outfits did to me. And they just so happen to all include flat shoes, but not just any flat shoes: pointed-toe flats.
I very much live a flat-shoe life and only wear heels a couple of times a week (if that), so when I come across a chic new way to style flats, I am there for it. The beauty of pointed-toe flats is that they make whatever they're paired with look elegant—even a sweatsuit, as you'll see below. I also find that the elongated toe makes my 5'4" frame look magically taller, which is a plus in my book.
If you too are on the hunt for new flat-shoe outfits, keep scrolling to get the outfit formulas and shop pointed-toe flats that are worth the investment.
