I'm a VIP Nordstrom Stylist—These Trends Look the Chicest With Flat Shoes
As a VIP stylist at Nordstrom, Sandy Koszarek helps her clients build out their wardrobes. During the process, she often answers a variety of style questions. Given the resurgence of ballet flats and the appeal of flat shoes, in general, to keep comfortable, many of Koszarek's clients recently asked about which trends look the chicest with flat shoes.
Naturally, she responded with a range of versatile items that work great with flat shoes. Below, you'll see the trends in question. It's also worth noting that the pieces really could work with a variety of footwear silhouettes as well.
Keep scrolling for more, complete with visual and shopping inspiration.
Fall Dresses
"Long dresses with simple, clean lines look chic when styled with a ballet flat or mule."
Trousers
"Wide-leg trousers are not just for the office but are a chic denim alternative to wear with flats when you want to be comfortable and look polished."
Straight-Leg Jeans
"Classic straight jeans continue to trend and are a style I like to wear with loafers, sneakers, or Chelsea boots."
Slip Skirts
"The versatile slip skirt is everywhere and easy to style with sneakers or Chelsea boots for a chic, casual look."
Faux-Leather Trousers
"Faux-leather pants are trending and always look sharp and sophisticated. Wear them with a chunky-loafer-and-sock combination for a modern look."
Joggers
"Comfortable joggers can look chic when styled with modern sneakers and a utility jacket. Add a long camel coat and Chelsea boots as the weather turns cool."
Black Denim
"Black jeans are a must-have item for your fall wardrobe. Although any flat shoe style will work with black pants, I like to style them with loafers or ballet flats for the day or evening."
