If I've learned one thing over the past year and a half, it's that I'm really not a fan of heels. Sure, I own a ton, but after trading in my going-out shoes for slippers and slides during the height of the pandemic, I've found that—even as life begins to return to normal—I'm a pretty big fan of shoes that are actually comfortable, even for a night out. Lucky for me, cute flats are a thing.
Flats can come in a variety of styles. There are classic ballerina flats, trendy chunky loafers, and plenty of shapes and silhouettes in between—flat mules, anyone? And while I personally like to own a rainbow array of shoe options at any given time, there's no denying that nude flats are a great everyday, go-with-anything style.
Now that I'm trading in my flat sandals and slides for more autumn-appropriate footwear, I rounded up 25 pairs of the best nude flats of the season below. Did I mention these look especially great with a pair of skinny jeans?
