5 New Flat Styles to Wear With Skinny Jeans

There are two types of people when it comes to getting dressed: those who create an outfit around a pair of shoes and those who throw on shoes right before walking out the door. I for sure fall into the first group, with a dressing behavior highly focused on my shoe selection. That’s not to say there aren’t days when I flip to the other side of the spectrum—every rule has its exceptions—but I’m fairly reliable here. It’s the reason I’m typically drawn to footwear that I want to show off, truly covetable styles that will make any outfit the best it can possibly be. Of course, comfort and versatility are always key.
