Holiday party season is upon us, but that doesn't necessarily mean you must bust out the pumps. This season, we're taking a cue from the French and incorporating stylish flats into our winter wardrobes.
From sleek and simple ballet flats to shiny metallic versions, there's a pair of flat shoes out there that is guaranteed to amp up any outfit. Pick a pair to wear with more casual looks like denim and a structured jacket, or opt for something with a little more pizzazz if you want to add a sparkle to your outfit.
Whether you want to pick up a few pairs for $50 or $60 each, or go all out on a single designer pair for a few hundred, you really can't go wrong with the array of flats available to shop this season. Keep scrolling for 13 of our picks that are giving serious French-girl vibes, and the rest of the outfit will follow.
