As someone who has been a life long heels lover, the fact that I am making a dedicated blog post to flats is astounding. Never say never. Also, who am I? LOL But honestly, I have added so many more flats into my shoe collection and wear them much more regularly than I ever did. I’m a bit biased because these are all my own personal flats and shoes, but I definitely think you can check off nearly every box with this collection of fall flats.
Best Flats For Fall
Larroude Blair Ballet Flat
This is my newest pair of flats and it adds the perfect bit of color into my collection. Nothing too over the top and definitely a color that is easy to style especially through the colder months. If I’m being completely honest, I will always be a pointy toe gal though as you can see from this line-up, I am embracing a rounder toe and enjoying it. It’s the details on this shoe that really got me. The embellished buckle and there is a bejewelled “L” on the side that stands for Larroude. These are insanely comfortable too. If green velvet isn’t your favorite, this exact style of flats comes in a ton of other colors and textures.
J.Crew Factory Ballet Flats
Metallics are a neutral!! Don’t be afraid to add gold or silver shoes into your wardrobe. I style them like I do a pair of beige or tan flats. They go with nearly every outfit. While I have always been a loyal J.Crew shopper, J.Crew Factory reached out to me a few months ago and allowed me to pick out a few things. The styles and quality are exactly like J.Crew but the price points are SO much more affordable!
Jeffrey Campbell Arabesque Flats
Out of all my flats, these are the most Chanel-esque and I love them. The two-tone colorway is so much more versatile than you many think. These are probably some of my most comfortable and most worn flats. If you work in an office and need a professional pair of flats to dress up or down, I highly recommend these.
Margaux NY Pointe Flats
These fall towards the pricier end of the spectrum but Margaux NY has the largest range of sizing I have ever seen! They go from a size 3 all the way to a size 14. And they offer medium, narrow and wide options as well. I love that these flats are less of a true beigey neutral and fall a tad more on the rose/pinky side. It adds a nice contrast to my outfits while still falling under the category of “neutral”. And the slightly pointed toe is absolute perfection.
Marc Fisher Daner Pointed Toe Flats
This may sound sorta silly, but if there were a pair of flats that closely resemble the look of a heel – these would be it! From the patent finish to the super pointy toe, they make me feel like I’m wearing a heel while still being flat on the ground. Ha! These are an absolute stunner and would look great worn for an evening function with a dressy pants suit.
Madewell The Greta Ballet Flats
I am sorry to say that this exact pair (with the jewels) is no longer available, but the exact style is still available. And it comes in a TON of colors and textures so there is definitely something for everyone. There is a reason that these flats are a top seller for Madewell – they are fantastic! So comfy, look great on the foot and are priced really reasonably.
Raye Ralphie Flat
The trendiest of the bunch is definitely this pair. They look exactly like a pair of ballet pointe shoes with an edgy twist. I am obsessed with the grommet detail and definitive square toe. They sell out often but are restocked regularly so if you don’t see your size, check back in a few weeks for a restock.
Amazon Tweed Slingbacks
The most affordable and budget friendly pair out of the entire bunch (under $40 on sale). These tweed slingbacks are from Amazon and add a great pop of texture to any outfit. If I am being honest, the back strap loosens over time so it does slide off from time to time but not enough to deter me from wearing them. I love how different they are from the other styles that I own and add a classic element to any outfit.
Raye Natalia Ballet Flat
It should come as no surprise that there is another two-tone pair of flats in my collection. I love this as an alternative to a monochromatic pair of flats. Especially when I am wearing it with a simple outfit like a white shirt and jeans. It adds some interest and character to the look without standing out too much. I don’t wear a ton of silver but having these flats have actually motivated me to purchase more silver belts and jewelry. When I am wearing more cool-toned outfits, gold does not always work so it’s nice to have an alternative.
As someone who has really fallen in love with jewelry and using it to really enhance my day to day outfits, I have really enjoyed mixing silver and gold jewelry together in one look. It’s not that I never thought you could, but rather I wasn’t quite sure how to do it seamlessly. How to mix the two metals in a way that looked cohesive and not like things were looking mismatched. Wearing jewelry has been one of my favorite way to enhance simple looks and really showcase a bit more of my personal style. It can elevate a basic outfit and make it look more polished and often more expensive! Even a white tee and jeans can instantly look like a really stylish and Pinterest worthy look with the right mix of jewelry. There is an unspoken rule regarding gold and silver jewelry and many people think you cannot wear the two metals together. But there are certain ways to blend them together in one look which can make it easier and less daunting. Allowing for silver and gold to mix in your daily jewelry stacks also opens your jewelry collection up to more options and more pieces. More is more! LOL Here’s some examples of how I mix gold and silver jewelry in my outfits and some tips to help you do the same with your own pieces.
