A chunky, unflattering black shoe vs. an elegant flat

An Elegant Flat
Trinny and Susannah know that even the shoe you wear can add pounds. "I hate this kind of shoe," Trinny says about a chunky black flat. "It should be burned and terminated and nobody should be allowed to wear it. … It cuts off any elegance, and the color is too contrasting for the summer. Instead, opt for soft gold or soft silver."

This alternative on the right, Trinny says, still offers the comfort of a flat, but it's more elegant. "And because it's similar to my skin tone," she points out, "it makes my legs look elongated."
