Can You Wear Ballet Flats for a Job Interview?
Ballet Flats ground an interview outfit in polished professionalism without the formality of heels. Pair them with a Shirt Dress or Cashmere Sweater for a combination that reads as intentional and interview-appropriate — smart enough for a corporate setting, approachable enough for a creative one. The key is that Ballet Flats finish the look cleanly, signaling you've considered the details without overdoing it.
