The Elegant Flat-Shoe Trend Every Fashion Person Is Wearing This Season

Spring is officially here, so it's time to talk about the shoes we'll all be wearing for the duration of it. Specifically, let's talk about flat shoes. The big flats trend for S/S 24 is thanks in large part to the influential designer brands Prada, The Row, Toteme, and Saint Laurent. Their creative directors have opted to prioritize elegance, by endorsing sleek, pointed-toe flats.
The beauty of pointed-toe flats is that they're fancy enough to be worn out at night, and they go with everything from jeans to mini dresses to baggy trousers, making whatever they're paired with look far more sophisticated. After years of square toes, it's been nice to finally change things up a bit. I think that this is a trend that's worth investing in and will be around for quite some time, so I selected 29 pairs of elegant luxury flats you'll wear for years. Scroll to shop my carefully selected favorites.
These touch on several trends: patent leather, slingback, and of course, pointed toes.
I know I already included these in tan but the red is too good not to as well.
Another great (and easier-on-the-wallet) pointed-toe pair.
Cap toes only add to the elegant appeal.
