The Essentials: 8 Flatform Sandals

Not for the faint of heart or overly square corporate office, flatform sandals—a clever hybrid of flat sandals with an added platform boost—will fit right into the wardrobe of a working girl in a more creative or casual setting, be it a beauty salon, design house, PR agency or fashion office. A coolly nonchalant look that has become somewhat of a Marni signature, the flatform sandal exudes a fashionably no-fuss vibe (think Prada and Dries Van Noten) that combines the comfort of a flat sandal with the height boost of a wedge. Snap up a pair or two to wear with midi-length full skirts or high-waisted A-line culottes.
