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.
