The latest F/W '19 flat shoes to own that are all about comfort and style

Flex for days? Flats for days.

1/9

We can’t deny that the quote “the higher the heel, the closer to heaven” has made us stans of sky-high stilettos. But as much as we’d love a good pair of heels, it simply isn’t as practical as flats.

Instead of going for your usual ballerinas (because we know you’d probably have 10 sitting in your shoe closet), opt for classic shoes, like a loafer or a moccasin. The reason is simple: they’ll last you through several seasons.

1. Gucci horsebit loafer with collapsible heel, US$800 (about S$1,106.63), from Net-a-Porter

2/9

We get that wearing a pair of sandals isn’t particularly the best shoe option for your 9-to-5. Go for this pair of loafers instead that comes with a canvas upper. Our reason: this Gucci piece screams Italian Riviera vibes. If you can’t visit the Amalfi Coast anytime soon, then let it come to you in this pair of shoes.

3. Leather pointed toe shoe, $59.90, Mango

4/9

Its pointed toe and warm brownish upper is so versatile, it’s like black shoes never should’ve existed. Okay, we kid. But the best part of this Mango baby is that it’s made of leather, which means it’s likely to be quite durable and lasting. Plus, it comes at an affordable price point. We’re sold.

5/9

This pair of loafers is where style meets heritage. Fashioned in a smooth buttery black upper that’s so simple yet understated, it’s adorned with the maison’s signature motif, the “Double Gancini” for almost 50 years. Style yours with a two-piece pantsuit.

A pair of nude coloured shoes has the potential to elongate your limbs. Also, it’s neutral tone means that you can pull it off with almost everything in your closet. Now, we aren’t kidding about this one.

6. Faux leather mule with stud details, $53.90, Charles & Keith

7/9

Here’s why we’re in love with this pair of Charles & Keith mules: the stud details give this pair that rock ‘n’ roll spunk. Give this pair the attention it deserves by wearing it with a black number.

8. Patent calfskin derby, $1,350, Celine

9/9

A party-worthy shoe isn’t restricted to just glitter stilettos. A pair of patent derbies is just as fancy. Go all out by wearing yours with a silver sequin number on days you plan to head out for drinks at night.
