Spring is in the air and as much as I'm excited for longer evenings and a warm breeze, my real elation is rooted in the fact that it's finally my shoe collections time to shine. Having had to resort to thick-soled black boots to get me across the puddle adorned streets of London, the new season offers respite from chilly rain and the promise of a little more styling versatility.
As such, I'm taking the turn of the seasons as the opportunity to whip out my favourite pair of shoes. Putting some shine back on the cities streets, this season there's no other shoe I'd rather wear than a studded flat. With a peppering of studs crowing the shoe, this shoe trend elevates and exaggerates an outfit with no extra effort.
I'm not the only one to catch the studded-flats-bug—all of my favourite stylists and influencers are on board with the trend. Dressing up their wide leg trousers, or adding a glamorous edge to their favourite pair of jeans, the style set are embracing the trending shoe for spring.
Although they're far more comfortable than any heel, these shoes manage to convey the same elegant energy. As we move through the spring months and towards wedding season, consider this comfortable buy as an alternative to heels to ensure that you can stay on the dance floor all night long.
Whilst designer brands such a Khaite and Alaia are favourite amongst the fashion set, high street retailers such as Mango and Reformation have come out with elegant and more affordable styles too. Read on to discover our edit of the best studded flat shoes available to buy now.
