We're officially entering that in-between period where it's not quite winter but not quite spring either—that time that gives real meaning to the phrase transitional dressing. In the clothing department, that means thoughtful layering, but in the shoe department, it becomes strangely complicated. Since it's not full-blown sandal weather yet but my boots don't feel right either, I'm in the market for shoes that live somewhere in the middle.
Woven flats, timeless loafers, and a range of suede silhouettes have been on my mind, and I found 37 chic options that are too good not to share. Each can be styled with everything from the jeans of the season to spring's biggest color trends. They're versatile and elevated and feel both timeless and on-trend, which makes each a worthy investment in my book. Below are the best transitional flat shoes to start wearing now and carry you all the way through spring, from the $90 Mango flats people will mistake for designer to Miu Miu's latest It shoes.
