En pointe? Not necessary with these classic shoes. Ballet flats are the more sophisticated flat of the bunch, using a shapely upper and ankle-baring dip to highlight the feet without baring the toes completely. While many a department store find will feature full toe coverage, European ballet flats often show a flash of sexy "toe cleavage" that's a little more dare-to-bare. Traditional pink is a good option for the uber-feminine girl, but black will take you farther out on the mean and grimy city streets. Consider a pair of ballet flats to take you to work when heels simply won't cut it!
