Naturally, she responded with a range of versatile items that work great with flat shoes. Below, you'll see the trends in question. It's also worth noting that the pieces really could work with a variety of footwear silhouettes as well.

Fall Dresses
"Long dresses with simple, clean lines look chic when styled with a ballet flat or mule."
Trousers
"Wide-leg trousers are not just for the office but are a chic denim alternative to wear with flats when you want to be comfortable and look polished."
Straight-Leg Jeans
"Classic straight jeans continue to trend and are a style I like to wear with loafers, sneakers, or Chelsea boots."
Slip Skirts
"The versatile slip skirt is everywhere and easy to style with sneakers or Chelsea boots for a chic, casual look."
Faux-Leather Trousers
"Faux-leather pants are trending and always look sharp and sophisticated. Wear them with a chunky-loafer-and-sock combination for a modern look."
Joggers
"Comfortable joggers can look chic when styled with modern sneakers and a utility jacket. Add a long camel coat and Chelsea boots as the weather turns cool."
Black Denim
"Black jeans are a must-have item for your fall wardrobe. Although any flat shoe style will work with black pants, I like to style them with loafers or ballet flats for the day or evening."
