I thought I would end up with&nbsp;one answer&nbsp;and that would be that!</p> <p>I am thrilled to know that I can wear flats but dressy. As everyone is telling me...it is about the contrast. I cans see that&nbsp; sneakers probably would not work. Thanks for suggesting showing some of my leg (ankle)</p> <p>I do own a pair of silver loafer flats but all the great ideas here sound like I should spring for some new shoes (especially if I make the pants myself.) LOL!</p> <p>Thanks to all the pros who post pictures.

I think it is more the overall look and intent of the outfit than the shoes specifically. The only shoes I would really avoid would be standard trainers/sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317964 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:37:27 +0000 gradfashionista 1317964@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting--will be following! A fellow flats-wearer who's currently weighing the pros and cons of incorporating a pair of silky tracks&nbsp;into my wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317905 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:52:13 +0000 rachylou 1317905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never thought about it before. These are all great ideas.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317865 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:08:41 +0000 Eliza 1317865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with others that heels are not required. In addition to the other suggestions, I have worn my silk track pants with smoking slippers and dressy, sleek oxfords. Great pattern! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317855 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 17:03:06 +0000 Anonymous 1317855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, flats would work, make sure though there is some skin between the pant leg bottom and the shoe to add structure so it doesn't look sloppy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317850 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:57:29 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1317850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like all the suggestions here! Thanks for asking the question. I have a similar pattern (or maybe even the same one, not sure) that I haven't yet made up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317840 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:41:31 +0000 unfrumped 1317840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I wear mine with flats. I wear loafers, slipper flats, and pointy-toe flats. Otherwise I could not use them for day-wear. I have worn heels for evenings out, for fun, but not always, since flats are just plain more comfortable even for date night. I agree with top suggestions--I tend to use silky &nbsp;dressy&nbsp;top&nbsp; including&nbsp; &nbsp;a drapey, slightly dressy version of T, so then usually include a necklace. My flats aren't super-dressy but do skew more refined, including patent or pattern.<br />&nbsp;Not sure whether that ticks all the fashion boxes, but it works for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317833 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:36:09 +0000 kkards 1317833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i really liked them as shown on your link, and i love the idea of them with a pointed toe flat like viva showed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317826 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 16:29:01 +0000 rabbit 1317826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll just add gladiator sandals to the list, especially if you can push up the cuff of the pants to wear them at a 'cropped' length from time to time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317774 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 15:15:59 +0000 Diana 1317774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them with flat sandals. To my eye it's better than closed toe flats. Just make sure the pants are short enough for the flats and don't pool at the ankle so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317758 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:52:04 +0000 Beth Ann 1317758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've worn mine with my silver Birkie like sandals.&nbsp; I think a modern shoe is important, to keep it from looking like you're actually wearing pants from the gym, or from your 90's closet of soft pants!&nbsp; When I want a little lift, but need to walk a lot, I wear my Crocs platform wedges -- the Crocs footbed makes for a really cushy ride and the platform means my foot isn't bend at an odd angle.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317754 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:45:03 +0000 Anonymous 1317754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way they are styled in the Vogue pattern pic . To me, track pants are super versatile: &nbsp;pushed up, worn down, with heels, wedges, sneakers, flats - and with all sorts of tops. &nbsp;I'd love to see the finished product when you are ready to post! &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317746 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 14:33:32 +0000 Tanya 1317746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love silky track pants.&nbsp; I have a couple of pairs, and very often wear them with various cute flats/baby wedges, so I think it can totally be done.&nbsp; I am attaching some photos of couple of such oufits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317656 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:17:09 +0000 viva 1317656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they definitely can work with dressy flats, but I would also wear them with slip on sneakers and something interesting up top -- button-down shirt with a cropped sweater, flowy silk hi-low, anything that is definitely not workout wear. This still achieves the contrast Rute is talking about, but the burden is on the top to push the contrast, if you know what I mean -- and the sneaker is the sleek kind, not the athletic kind, which also helps.</p> <p>I just bought some skinny sweatpants (which <b>really</b> push the workout wear button), and I plan to wear these with black slip on sneakers and a tailored top, maybe even a blazer. If I can ever afford my dream silver loafers I will wear them with those too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317650 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 12:09:16 +0000 Aquamarine 1317650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the flats as pictured so I think they work. To keep the vibe less like workout wear, I'd avoid sneakers for sure and wear a slightly dressy top as opposed to a simple tee. Or wear the simple tee and add some fun jewelry. I think the devil is in the details! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317625 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:24:55 +0000 rute 1317625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They look better with heels, for me it's not a matter of figure but of contrasts, super casual pants work better with a dressier shoe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/w2w-track-pants-sans-heels#post-1317622 Tue, 29 Jul 2014 11:16:01 +0000 Quietgirl 1317622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the track pant silhouette. I would like to make these: <a href="http://voguepatterns.mccall.com/v8909-products-46650.php?page_id=264" rel="nofollow">http://voguepatterns.mccall.co.....age_id=264</a></p> <p>However, I only see these pants paired with heels. I don't do heels. Period! Are these still an option for me? ( I am tall and thin.)</p> <p>Suggestions?</p>
