Shoe Week continues with CC’s selections for footwear that goes the extra mile! Every gal needs a few round-toe and a few pointy flats in her closet.

Though Carla Bruni-Sarkozy may be wearing flats to humor her smaller-statured husband (Napoleon complex?), the result is chic and lovely… And – dare we say? – practical!
Flats are even making an appearance on the runway, as at Emporio Armani’s Fall 2008 show, pictured at top right via style.com

All indications point to the inevitability of a butterfly trend for Spring 2009, so get a jump on the trend with these elegant beauties!

J. Crew Lilah tweed flats - simple and sophisticated.
Remember: with a relatively unadorned flat , you can feel free to do some fun DIY embellishment, like adding silk flower brooches to the toes!

Per the request of CC’s male readers like Fellow Fashionista Mr. Style of Where the Lights End, a selection of men’s footwear – CC is partial to the lace-up oxford!

So what do you think . . . is it acceptable for ladies to wear flats for evening? Should taller women avoid high heels to humor their boyfriends?
