We were looking for an excuse to give our sneakers and pumps a break, and we found the perfect one: cute flats. This spring shoe trend reimagines the everyday flat with elegant and feminine details, and super comfy silhouettes that last from morning to night. We’re talking mesh ballet flats, floral embroidery details, braided styles and more romantic, refined touches that don’t fall flat.
To help ease your favorite flats into retirement, we’ve selected 20 stylish and beautiful flats from retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Macy’s and Quince that bring this refreshing trend to life in a very wearable way. From glittery embellished styles to cute bow toppers, shop our top picks for spring below!
20 Trendy Flats Set to Define Spring Style
1. What we like: These hand-woven flats have the perfect blend of craftsmanship, comfort and everyday polish. We’ve honestly already booked the summer slots and all the warm weather outings in between.
2. Select Print: Whether it’s polka dot, gingham or heart-shaped, you can choose how you want to express yourself in these chic mesh flats from Walmart.
3. Throwback Vibes: Nineties fashion comes to life in these glittery gel sandals that put a mature spin on a childhood favourite. They’re as good poolside as they are paired with a breezy spring dress.
4. Forward Forward: We’re getting designer vibes from these bow ballet flats that come in eight gorgeous shades, including powder blue, lilac and rose. They honestly look like they came from Tory Burch.
5. Sleek & Smooth: If your shoe style is more conservative, consider these round leather loafers. They have all the functionality of a classic loafer, wrapped in a rounded toe shadow that feels soft and feminine.
6. Look Like a Designer: The chic cap-toe ballet flat was made popular by pricey designers like Chanel, but this version by Anne Klein has the same Parisian vibe without the opposite price.
7. Dressed Esparadrille: An espadrille isn’t the most comfortable shoe to wear all day, but this Casual Flat takes the style and makes it super soft and all-day-friendly. We especially like the nautical blue hue.
