Lauren Creekmore-Peabody is a former figure skater and news producer. Her career took a creative turn and now Lauren Creekmore-Peabody operates a blog, LC Life and Style, on the LikeToKnowIt app. Recently on her blog, she introduced her audience to a sleek yet cozy footwear item: Steve Madden's Cairo-S Tan Snake from the flats section, in the women's section of the website.
Most commonly associated with the office or in formal events, flats can actually be worn for formal events and occasions. Contrary to the popular narrative, flats look extremely stylish due to their sleek design. They also allow you to remain comfortable, in case you need to be standing a lot. Heels not only damage your muscles, but tire you out quickly.
Obviously not just any flats should be worn if you are preparing to hit the town. Simple flats in pastel or light colors, with minimal designing go a long way with formal attires. Add in a beautiful texture, like this snake print from Steve Madden, and you're good to go whether you are wearing a suit or a dress.
