In the blog world, it seems like everyone loves heels and hates flats. I do love me a good pair of heels, but in my everyday life, I reach for flats more frequently than not. Boston is filled with cobblestones and brick sidewalks, and getting your heel caught in them is both embarrassing and unavoidable.
I think flats get a bad rap, and I have no clue why. There are so many stylish options, there’s something for everyone!
There are five main style of flats shoes that are catching my eye this fall (five fall flats- yay alliteration!… okay, moving on…)
Oxfords
A classic borrowed-from-the-boys fall style. The styles range from traditional leather to metallic. I love to wear mine with dresses and pants.
Shop 1: Asos / 2: Forever21 / 3: Asos
Loafers
Another super classic style.
Shop 1: BCBGeneration / 2: Aldo / 3: Dolce Vita

Ballet Plus
I wasn’t sure what to call this category… It’s basically a ballet flat with a little somethin’-somethin’ extra. A quirky design, a special cutout, mixed texture: a little something extra takes a regular flat to an eye-catching piece.
Shop 1: BP / 2: Sam Edelman / 3: Kate Spade
Lace-up Flats
These could probably be lumped in with the “Flats Plus” category, but there are so many awesome lace-up flats that it called for it’s own section. I splurged in the spring and bought some coral Aquazurra lace-up flats. I’m glad that the style caught on because there are plentiful affordable options now! Topshop is killing it with fabulous options (here and here).
Shop 1: Topshop / 2: Steve Madden / 3: Nine West
Booties
I pair summer dresses with booties and a jacket for a quick transition to fall wardrobe. Easy peasy.
Shop 1: Madewell / 2: Sole Society / 3: Bella Vita
Tell me…are you wearing flats this fall?
Yay flats!
I adore flats and honestly… they are pretty much ALL I wear. I’m a busy girl on the go and can’t endure anything with a heal. So may awesome options once we slide into Fall.
Thanks for the great roundup. I adore the Dolce Vita leopard smoking loafers. I need a new pair of leopard flats (which are basically a neutral to me) each fall I wear them so much and these might be this years winner!
Hi Jess!
I love these booties you posted.
Have you come across any good shops for maternity clothes?
