2024 Is the Year of Flat Shoes, and This Affordable Pair Stopped Me in My Tracks
As an editor, I take my job seriously. So much so that my favorite pastime is finding expensive-looking styles at affordable prices and sharing them with you. Be it scouring the new-in sections of our favorite stores or trawling through our fashion friends' most recent Instagram posts, I like to put the work in to find the new pieces that will elevate any outfit. And on one such deep dive into what fashion insiders are buying right now, I stumbled across a pair of on-trend slingback flats from none other than Amazon.
We all know Amazon as a one-stop shop for anything your heart desires from beauty to books, but a little-known secret is that this is a spot that fashion people turn to for high-end-looking styles for less. Personally, I believe some things are too good not to share, and this elevated pair of flats is worth giving up this insider knowledge.
Over the past few seasons, flat shoes have taken over their sky-high counterparts as the footwear of the moment, from the ballet-flat revival to the rise of refined slingback styles. This particular pair combines the most current details for a shoe that does it all, fashion-speaking. The buckles ensure the pair is fashion-forward enough to be styled casually with loose-fit jeans and a simple T-shirt whilst the pointed toe and elegant slingback suit dressier evening ensembles.
Scroll on to shop the Amazon shoes I can't stop thinking about and more expensive-looking pieces.
