31 Pairs of Trendy Flat Shoes That Are So Good It's Stressing Me Out
As 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 wild success of Miu Miu ballet flats has made wearing flats with anything and everything cool. Lately, you'll find them on the feet of celebrities, fashion people, and on models walking the runways. But when it comes to flats, the trendier, the better. Heels have an inherent amount of drama but need to work harder to be cool. So if you prefer cool flats over basic ones, this roundup will be right up your alley.
I spent hours looking at trendy flats in search of the best, so scroll away if you're ready to shop for some very chic ones. I, for one, am very tempted.
Just imagine how pretty your feet would look in these.
These crochet Mary Janes give you two trends in one.
Woven leather sets these apart from other two-tone loafers.
A favorite of the fashion crowd, these flats are almost always sold out. Luckily, I found them at Nordstrom.
This is how to transition the balletcore trend to spring and summer.
Now is the time to get a pair of metallic shoes (it's a big trend).
I love these longtime favorites in a fresh new color for spring.
I love this chic new take on last year's fisherman-sandal trend.
I know there were a lot of ballet flats in this roundup, but there's always room for one more when they look like this.
