What flat shoes to wear with an evening dress this winter?

Wearing flats with an evening dress means choosing to combine comfort and elegance without compromising. While heels are still a classic option, flats offer a more modern alternative to vertiginous pumps.

Discover how you can level up your look with ballet flats, loafers or even high boots to dance the night away in comfort. Be inspired by our fashion tips and make a grand entrance - without stumbling!

01 Leather loafers: the ultra-trendy androgynous twist

Women's loafer Regine 1 Melvin & Hamilton

Long reserved for office looks, leather loafers are now emerging as a fashion accessory in their own right. They embody the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort, and add an androgynous touch that breaks with codes that are too girly or dressed up with an evening dress. Our patent leather models adorned with gold chains are the perfect way to add a touch of luxury to your outfit.

How to wear them? Pair your notched-soled loafers with a sequined mini-dress, or opt for a metallic gold or silver pair to brighten up a little black dress that's a little too classic. Right on trend, this combo is ideal for those who like to mix masculine and feminine influences.

02 High boots: a daring and glamorous choice

Yes, you can wear a pair of tall boots with an evening dress - and this season we highly recommend it! Inspired by 70s icons like Jane Birkin, they'll add a sophisticated, rebellious edge to your look. They're ideal for winter evenings or for adding character to an overly conservative look.

How to wear them? Tall boots in smooth or suede leather will create a certain contrast with the fluidity of your dress. This style also lets you play with textures: opt for suede boots with a short velvet dress, for example. For a long, bold silhouette, choose black leather boots with a slit dress.

03 Leather ballet flats: a must-have for retro elegance

Leather ballet flats, which have been timeless since Brigitte Bardot popularised them in the 50s, are a sure value with an evening dress. With their minimalist lines and romantic look, they add a delicate touch to any outfit.

How to wear them? To celebrate, opt for an iridescent or velvet model. Ballet flats with straps or shiny details are perfect with midi or long dresses. Perfect with a flowing leopard-print dress, pointy-toe ballet flats add a rock'n'roll touch and promise a long, sleek silhouette.
