Favoring Flats

While I may not be one of the lucky few who are able to attend the glorious shows at New York Fashion Week, I can still be a part of the "front row". Streaming the live videos gives me a chance to see the beautiful pieces created by some of the greatest fashion minds from the comfort of my own office couch. 

Perusing the videos and flipping through pictures of each model, I noticed more than the brilliant colors, prints, and silhouettes. Of course everyone has their eyes glued to the pieces of clothing the models are wearing. But occasionally the accessories draw the attention. The particular accessories I am talking about are the shoes. Most models stomp the runway in heels - stilettos, wedges, chunky heels. Any heel. However, this season there have been an astounding number of flats. Yes, I said flats. 

A few wonderful examples of the upcoming flat trends are Honor, Peter Som, Kate Spade, and Nicholas K. And the week is still young! Heels may be the epitome of high fashion, but the more laid back and ultimate cool girl looks bring with them a chicer and more stunning flat than ever before.

From Oxfords, to pointy toes, to ankle booties, flats are coming back in a big way. The many different colors and prints and styles are enough to get this girl excited. What flat trend will you be trying?
