Step Into Fall in Flats

Flats, flats and more flats! For this season though we will still be seeing amazing heels and boots, the flat will be a powerful force in fall fashion. This season’s flats play off of the menswear trends happening in clothing, so we will be seeing oxfords and loafers made in all different colors and materials. Additionally, flats will incorporate the traditional menswear prints and patterns that were all over the Fall 2013 runways, including the major print for fall, houndstooth as well as herringbone, plaid and pinstripes.

The flats for fall will also feature the color and print trends that have been shown in clothing. A flat in a bold print or color provides a great option for those who do not want to commit to a full look, but want to incorporate the trend into their wardrobe in a more subtle way.

The pointed toe in footwear will be incorporated into boots, heels and flats for fall. Not only will pointed toe flats be prominent this season, but a pointed toe on loafers as well as D’Orsay flats will be a strong trend for the season.

There are fabulous flats at every price point available right now. So whether you want to splurge or save there are great options for everyone to start off fall on the right foot!
