NICKY HILTON ROTHSCHILD WEARING BALLET FLATS IN NEW YORK, 2023  Raymond Hall

Flats are apparently back in full force. Who knew right? Well, the ballet flat which is the most timeless classic of them all is on this list and making an iconic comeback. When I first think of a flat my mind immediate goes to Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face. She is rocking the iconic black ballet flats, she really put them on the map and made them ever so chic. Besides black, these well-known style of flats come in the new neutral, a bold statement with colour, or even adding some height into the mix.

But when it comes down to this classic shoe, timeless will always outweigh a trend any day. You know flats are back when even my stiletto conscious friends are dabbling in the classic loafers, I know I can safely report that there’s really something to this flat-footwear trend. As someone who hasn’t shied away from a great pair of heels, I couldn’t be more thrilled. Not only are you enhancing the comfort factor of fashion, but you are remaining devotedly breath-taking. Although, it is quite cruel that all social media is providing me with all the flat shoes my heart could desire for, I still have a mind to look. And find just a handful of the most perfect styles. 

 

Even if you are the kind of person, who can’t imagine yourself without the perfect heels when it comes to your workday apparel, allow me to introduce you to some flat footwear that will keep things chic on your winter commute. From ballet classic flats, to sling backs, and loafers, these seven pairs are worth getting a new light, before you change them under your desk before work.

After the pandemic, athleisure seemed to really take off. And this trend continued even into the winter season. How many girls are rocking winter coats with trainers? More than ever and it is such a chic look. These orange trainers from Lululemon are kind of incredible.
