30 Flat Shoes I Can Already Tell Will Be Everywhere This Fall
From dressy to casual, I think you can make flat shoes work with any outfit for any occasion—mainly because there are so many incredible options these days. I used to always reach for heels whenever I had a special event on my calendar, but with the vast array of flat shoe styles to choose from, that's no longer the case. It explains why so many of the current "It" shoes are flats.
I think brands have finally realized that people want to be comfortable without sacrificing style. It's a pretty simple concept and a great explanation for why there are so many good flats to choose from lately. I've slowly started to shop for fall and realized I've only bought flat shoes thus far—no heels. Between all the cool mesh flats, loafers, Mary Janes, and elegant slingbacks, there's no lack of flat shoes to choose from and wear with everything this fall and beyond. Scroll to shop my favorites of each of the five flat shoe trends set to be popular this season.
Ballerinas
Slingback Flats
I can see why these perfect cap-toe flats are so hard to find in stock.
Loafers
I've literally walked miles in this pair without one blister.
Mary Janes
Nordstrom just released this pair, and I have a feeling they will be popular.
I haven't stopped thinking about these since I first laid eyes on them.
Mesh Flats
This wildly popular pair can now be preordered in both black and white.
