Fashion people have completely embraced flats, making a chic pair the perfect wardrobe addition this fall. If you want to add a flat-shoe style to your wardrobe, consider one with cool details. Right now, you can score many fun fabrications such as suede and mesh and hardware details like grommets and studs.

 Loafers

Loafers—whether classic or trendy—continue to be the polished shoe style of choice among the fashion set. Whether you dress them up or down, there are endless ways to craft a loafer-worthy outfit.

Shorter Heels

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by high heels. Well, kitten heels are proof you don't need the extra lift to pull off an immensely chic look. There are all kinds of shorter-heel styles popping up this fall that'll mesh well with your coziest looks.

Low-Rise Sneakers

In the sneaker realm, low-rise sneaker styles continue to dominate. From Adidas to Nike, sleek trainers are currently on top. I love seeing fun pops of color in my sneakers, but you can't go wrong with neutral, go-with-everything kicks.

Tall Boots

It isn't fall if you don't see a range of fashion folks strutting around with the coolest boots. If you had to grab one pair of boots as the weather dips, I'd recommend opting for a taller style.
