As I am someone who is both obsessed with shoes and wears flats far more than heels, you can trust my authority on the subject of trendy flat shoes. They're one of my favorite fashion things—always have been, always will be.
The fact that many It shoes in recent seasons have been flats has made wearing flats with anything and everything cool. Lately, you'll find them on the feet of celebrities, fashion people, and models walking the runways. When it comes to flats, the trendier the better, so if you prefer cool flats over basic ones and love buying shoes from Zara, H&M, and Mango, this roundup will be right up your alley. These three brands are consistently excellent sources for trendy flat shoes, and I did my due diligence and found the best pairs available right now.
Scroll on if you're in the market for a pair of affordable flat shoes that are trendy and elevated.
