Get Casual

Men find it strange that ladies will usually carry an extra pair of flats in their handbag at any given time. To be fair to the men, a sizeable number of ladies who walk around with this extra pair of accessory are also not fully aware of the real reason they should do so. To them it is just a habit. However, Orthopedists recommend that ladies should limit the amount of time they spend in high heels. As a remedy, they prescribe alternating the heels with good quality flats for part of the day.

Men, hold your horses. This also applies to you. Most men spend the better part of their day wearing official shoes. Though some are designed to offer comfort, it is recommended that men should also alternate the official shoes with good quality casuals. However, for men, the alternation can be done on a daily or two-day basis. This simply means that you should not wear official shoes for three consecutive days. It is healthy to break the monotony by wearing casuals to work at least once or twice a week.

Good casual shoes allow your feet to relax and recoup from the week’s work.

Men's casuals : Now available at Bata stores.

The main challenge is in finding the right casuals that match your attire to create the Business Casual look. Bata Kenya has just the right casuals – for both ladies and men, that guarantee comfort and style, as you undertake your day to day chores whether in the office or at home.

If you land in a bit of trouble at work because your office environment is not permissive to a casual wardrobe, simply say Bata, your reliable shoe experts recommend it! :)

How To Wear Flats

Though lacking in the sophistication of high heels, flats are comfortable and fun. Their versatility allows that they can be worn to parties, to church to work etc. and if coupled with the right kind of outfit your flats will make you look great and give your feet a break.

Here are some tips on how to look good in flats:

Shoe some leg – Flat shoes look best when a bit of leg is showing . When wearing flat shoes with a skirt, keep the length a bit shorter to add the illusion of leg length.

Have fun – While sometimes sticking with a black or neutral colored shoe can be pleasing, take advantage of your flats to add a splash of color to your outfit.

Keep the look – When wearing them to work, make sure they are appropriate. When choosing ballet flats to wear to work, make sure they are made of a professional looking material, such as leather.

The way she walks – Wearing heels causes women to walk differently than when they wear flats. Many times, women tend to walk flat-footed when wearing flats, causing an unflattering walk. Walking toes first, like a ballerina adds an elegant step to your walk.
