I genuinely can’t remember the last time I wore a pair of high heels. Chic little kitten heels? Absolutely. Anything over two inches? Absolutely not. It’s been flats and flats only for the past few months. As I’ve grown accustomed to my new low-to-the-ground lifestyle, I couldn’t help but think about my footwear selection beyond the summer season. Will I even be reaching for boots, or will flats be my new go-to shoe choice? By the looks of all the new designer arrivals hitting the retailers, it’s looking like the phenomenon of flats is not quitting any time soon. 

I’m predicting it’s going to be a flat-shoe fall featuring everything from ballet flats to mesh flats and everything in between. By no means am I saying I’ll never wear boots again, but I am ready to embrace a fall wardrobe driven by fun flats this season, and I welcome you to come along for the ride. Below, I’ve shopped out my 30 favorite fall flats on the market that I know will make any autumnal ‘fit feel 10 times cooler in the season ahead. 

The second I saw these on the runway, I knew I needed them.

Such showstoppers. 

Chocolate-brown ballet flats are perfection in my eyes. 

They’re a classic for a reason.

Our office can’t stop talking about (and buying) these versatile flats.

If you know, you know.

I thought I was over patent shoes until I saw these beauties. 

Embrace Ferragamo’s signature red hue this fall. 

The square toe is everything. 

For the girl who can’t find the vintage Chanel flats in her size.

These look so chic with trousers. 

No one will believe these are $17. 

Just do it.

I love the black too.

These are quite literally selling out. 

Metallic shoes are still reigning supreme. 

A very easy shoe if you like to get out the door fast.

Sporty yet chic.

Elevate your slipper game. 

Yes, we love a crystal-embelleshed flats moment. 

Don’t sleep on Reformation’s flats selection. 

That delicate bow detail is everything and more. 

This one’s for the fashion girlies. 

This colorway is giving me life. 

Heavy on the hardware. 

Mesh flats are all the rage, and I predict they will still be relevant come fall. 

You can’t go wrong with a classic. 

Another one.

How adorable are these? I need every color.
