In a recent SavvyBroad.com poll, we asked readers which items they find the most challenging to wear. A great deal of you expressed frustration with wearing flats. Here are a few tips.

• Choose current styles in great colors or prints. Avoid black or brown unless they have a trendy twist.
• Wear the right skirt length. Flats look best when worn with a shorter skirt, about an inch above the knee. Avoid long skirts, they tend to make you look frumpy. Make sure to choose your pants wisely. Try straight-legged or tiny flared cropped pants – the Jackie O look. Also try a hem a few inches above the ankle or right at the top of your foot, depending on your height.
• Consider low platformed flats or a small, one-inch heel if you are short or pear shaped.
