Don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for sky high heels. Birthday parties, girls nights, and those rare occasions you can go from door to Uber to door. But in my personal opinion, running around day to day is not one of them. Whether I’m commuting into the office, or heading out for brunch at the weekend—I’m a comfort first girl, always. It just makes me feel more confident, what can I say? But that doesn’t mean my outfits have to feel any less elevated (no pun intended).
There are some classic flat shoe combinations that reliably look chic, and to prove it I’ve collated an edit of looks below from some of the most stylish women I know. Think of this as a handy reference point. A bit like that digitised wardrobe in Clueless. Bookmark it, or screenshot to your hearts’ content. And then every time you need comfortable yet polished outfit inspiration in the mornings you can check back.
Keep scrolling and you’ll find nine looks that all involve flat shoes. Most consist of classic wardrobe pieces you probably already own, but I’ve also added links to shop them out just in case you see anything your capsules might benefit from. From Hailey Bieber’s easy-to-recreate wide-leg trousers and loafers outfit, to jeans and ballet flat combos that actually work—your feet will thank you for these…
