What a time it's been for flat shoes. Though there was a period not long ago when flats were reserved for summer days or dashing around, in recent months we've seen these practical styles become the chicest options around. Whilst rounded-toe ballet flats and almond-shaped Mary Janes enjoyed a fashion renaissance last season, there's a lesser-styled flat on the up right now.
Everywhere I look, fashion people are selecting pointed-toe flat shoes to finesse their new-season outfits. With an elegant finish, pointed-toe flats add the familiar sophistication of a sleek high heel without the precariousness and discomfort.
Working with everything from your everyday jeans to a wool pencil skirt, pointed-toe flats add structure to any silhouette. A favourite of those who want to enjoy the practicalities of a flat whilst retaining the polish of a slingback, this new-season shoe trend is taking more converts by the minute.
Luckily, both high-street and designer brands have caught on to the growing appeal. From H&M's fiery red pair to Manolo Blahnik's classic mule, read on to discover our edit of the best pointed toe flats to shop right now.
