Flat shoes are a woman's best friend but are you still wearing these outdated flat shoes that are
0:05
making you look older and frontier? Let's upgrade them right now. Hello ladies and welcome to Pink
0:12
April Diary Style. I'm Suchi and today we are going to get rid of these seven outdated summer
0:19
flat shoes that are not only ruining your outfit but actually making you look older. They're actually
0:25
making your summer outfits look really out of style and some of them honestly I don't even know
0:33
how they became a fashion statement to begin with. First off let's talk about these famous
0:38
gladiator shoes. I own a pair of them as well they were fashionable at the time but they no longer
0:44
work for my body type. Unless you're wearing super short clothes these chunky or the multiple
0:51
straps of the gladiator shoes are going to cut off your proportions in so many different ways
0:57
And if you are petite, it just gets worse. I feel like the sole purpose of these saddles were not
1:03
style, but just to keep your feet feel breathable. Instead of these, you can actually try canvas
1:10
espadrille flats. They actually look way more classy and the canvas is a breathable fabric
1:17
so it's going to keep your feet feeling breathable in the hot weather and more importantly it looks
1:23
great on every body type and every skin tone. Now you want to wear something open toe? Okay let's
1:29
try these really simple sun strappy sandals which have simple straps they are don't go overboard in
1:36
their straps but they're minimal and they still look classy. Now you can also have fun with trying
1:41
different color variations to match your outfit or to complement your outfit. The narrow straps of
1:46
these sandals will actually complement your outfit. They're not going to overpower your outfit
1:50
or they're not going to look so chunky on your feet which is going to make you look shorter
1:55
or from beer and they will also flatter all of your summer outfits. Now these next category of
2:01
flat shoes come in different formats or versions. You might have already seen or you already own
2:07
probably these famous Tory Burch thong sandals but there are also other variations like just thong slides or the famous flip I think these shoes are probably meant to be worn only at home when you hanging out by the pool or probably lounging And honestly they not
2:27
even that comfortable. I remember I used to get blisters between my toe. I'm sure you probably
2:34
are aware of that whenever I would walk long distance in them. These flat shoes look so 1990s
2:42
my mom used to own a pair of them and no offense to her but i guess they were a thing back then
2:47
but there are plenty of stylish alternatives out there to upgrade these thong sandals or slides
2:56
now you can just wear regular slides there are wider strap ones or even simpler strap ones both
3:01
of them look really stylish they're also really comfortable i've never gotten any blisters in them
3:07
you can walk in them for miles they look really chic they will go really well with all your summer
3:12
chic dressy outfits or even casual outfits now when you're trying to find the right slides for
3:18
you try to find something that complements that is not too loud not too bold so it's going to
3:25
easily complement all of your summer looks ballet flats have become trendy again you can see everyone
3:32
wearing them these days but are you still wearing these ballet flats that have elastic band in the
3:39
back? I don't know why these shoes were even made in the first place. Now I feel like these ballet
3:45
flats are inspired or completely look like the actual ballerina flats that ballerinas wear to
3:51
dance. So there is absolutely no soul whatsoever in these shoes so I don't know why anybody could
3:57
even walk comfortably in them. Plus, the elastic band in the back probably is going to give you a
4:04
rash or is going to leave a mark in the back of your foot after a long day of walking. And just
4:12
like the ballerina flats, these shoes squish your feet in them and make you look shorter and
4:19
frontier. Come on, there are so many better flats out there. I don't even know why would you want
4:24
to wear these and it doesn't matter whether they come from a designer brand
4:28
You don't have to really wear them just because a designer has made them trendy
4:32
If you want the back of your feet to feel comfortable then try slingback flats They have open back so your feet will actually breathe in them and the pointed and structured front is
4:44
going to elevate your outfit, as well as the soles are thicker, so they're comfortable to walk in
4:50
because of the tiny heel and the back. If you don't want to wear them, you can wear espadrille
4:54
flats as well. Their soles are actually thicker and much more comfortable, so they're made for
5:00
comfortable long distance walking. I cannot think of any occasion or event or even a place where
5:08
these flats would be appropriate to wear and I am talking about the famous verkenstocks. Maybe by
5:15
the poolside if you're wearing the single tone waterproof ones but if you're wearing the dual
5:21
tone ones with the brown sole contrasting straps, why would you even wear those? These flats look
5:29
really frumpy. They are not flattering your feet, your height, or not even your outfit. And you
5:35
already know that. But I think you're just buying into a famous trend like everybody else. Now
5:41
what can you wear instead of them? Literally anything else. You can wear regular slides
5:46
but if you're trying to wear them by the pool or for a beach outfit, then there are plenty of
5:52
pool or beach slides that look way more stylish than these Birkenstocks. But pick the ones that
5:57
complement your feet and are actually comfortable to wear. Now sneakers are another perfect summer
6:04
casual flat shoes that are comfortable. You can walk in them. They also look great with dresses
6:10
skirts, and shorts, but not running shoes. Now for instance, I have these Nike Air Max. Now these are
6:19
great and really comfortable gym shoes, but if I wear this with a dress, all you would probably
6:25
notice are these shoes and not my outfit. It's actually going to completely ruin my outfit
6:31
Plus, do they really look that stylish? Instead, go for simple white leather sneakers that you can
6:38
wear with anything. They are the perfect summer white casual shoes that you can wear with dresses
6:44
and even all your casual outfits and still elevate your look. Now, if you want to wear some colors
6:51
You can also go for simple colored leather sneakers or colored sneakers like Converse or other styles of sneakers which are simple but they going to add a pop of color to your outfit and going to look really
7:03
summery but are comfortable too i probably would have said this many times but leave your gym shoes
7:10
for gym wear only i don't know if you wear these but if you do i don't care how expensive they are
7:16
please stop wearing them. And these flats are Crocs. And honestly, I don't know why these are
7:23
even popular. They are so frumpy. I don't even know which outfits you can pair these shoes with
7:29
I feel like not even your beach outfits. I know that these are popular waterproof shoes
7:35
but there are plenty of stylish waterproof shoes out there that you can wear instead of Crocs
7:41
Now, let's stop wearing these next flat shoes unless you're going on a long hike
7:48
Then I highly recommend them. I'm talking about these universal sandals that come in these thick rubber-like soles
7:57
and really ugly-looking straps. Hey, I owned a pair of them too in my early 20s
8:03
Nike came out with a version of these universal sandals, and we all got super obsessed with them
8:10
and I wore them too for a while but now in my 30s I can definitely do better than these and so can
8:17
you. Now these shoes are so frumpy and so outdated in so many ways and there's nothing sporty about
8:23
them actually. It's just these activewear brands trying to sell you stuff but you don't need to get
8:29
rid of them. You can actually just keep them aside for a hot summer day long hike otherwise you can
8:36
literally wear anything else that I've shared in this video and you will look great. I know that
8:41
was a lot but these shoes honestly are aging you and making you look outdated. Just get rid of them
8:47
and upgrade to better versions that I've shared in this video. If you found this video helpful
