7 fancy pairs of flats so stylish you’ll never want to wear heels again

Comfort beats style

Trine Jensen-Burke

Let’s hear it for footwear you can actually walk in.

Luckily, this season, the humble flat has had a total style makeover, meaning you can have your comfort (yeah!) while also looking perfectly put-together.

The shops are brimming with mules, loafers and ballet flats in all shapes and colours, embellished, embroidered; you name it, there is a stylish, comfortable shoe out there for you right now.

What to get? Well, here is our pick of the best:

1. Ankle-wrap ballet flat

Tory Burch is the undisputed queen of ballet flats, and right now, this gorgeous pair is on sale!

€127,50, Tory Burch

2. Ballerinas with gem buckle

Pointy flats are big right now – and we are swooning over both the look and price of these ruby-red Zara ones.

€29,95, Zara

3. Blue velvet loafers with tassels

Velvet is all sorts of perfect for autumn/winter, and we are planning on glamming up our weekend look this season with these oh-so-chic flats.

€89,95, Massimo Dutti

4. Christian Louboutin pompom-embellished leather flats

If you love a little Louboutin in your life, but (like us) cannot be dealing with running around in heels during daylight hours, we think these too-cute flats are where it’s at. Sure, they don’t come cheap, but we bet you’ll love them forever – so cost per wear will be buttons, really.

€638,11, Net-a-Porter.com


5. Pointy flats with bow

If you ask us, there can never be enough bows, and we’ll be getting these in every colour.

€19,99, H&M

6. Black embroidered loafer

Embroidery is still big as we are heading into next season, meaning these are right on trend. They are also the perfect way, we think, of adding just a hint of this trend to an outfit without going too folklore.

€16, Penneys

7. Pompom flat mules

How much fun are these?! We can’t wait to wear them with a favourite skinny jeans this autumn – the perfect way to make an otherwise plain outfit way more interesting.

€52, Topshop
