8 Going-Out Looks to Wear With Flats

If you hate wearing heels, or just need a night off from them every once in a while, you'll be pleased to hear that a great going-out outfit doesn't need them. We've come across a slew of celebrity looks recently that prove flat shoes can be just as appropriate for a night-out as heels. And unlike heels, they add a chill, effortless quality to an outfit. But perhaps most importantly, flats are infinitely more comfortable than heels, which is especially key when a long night of standing or walking lies ahead of you (i.e., you're going to a concert or cocktail party). You can never have too many night-out outfit ideas in our opinion, so we rounded up eight of our favorites from recent months, with flats-loving girls like Karlie Kloss, Alexa Chung, and Gigi Hadid all in the mix.

Whether you're heels-averse or you just need a break sometimes, you'll want to take note of these outfits for this weekend and beyond. Check out the cool outfits below, and shop some of our favorite flats to wear for an evening out on the town.
