Not all flats appear overly laid-back. Flat shoes that feature smart cuts and are crafted from leather can offer the same dressy, polished vibe you'd typically get by wearing heels (minus the foot pain!). Below, add these chic flats to your rotation of everyday shoes:

P.S. Rotating the pairs that you wear on a daily basis not only allows your footwear to breathe and avoid shoe odor, but also extends the life of your everyday shoes. 

1. For flats that'll complement  a smart-casual attire, reach for this pointed pair of leather loafers: 

TRY: Hue Manila Harper, P1,090, available online 

P.S. It comes in black and nude, too!

2. To make your office look a bit more interesting, incorporate some texture to your blacks-and-whites. Try this glossy, mock-crocodile patent leather flats:
