As a taller lady, I’ve always adored wearing flats. Heels are great and all, but they just don’t provide the same level of comfort and stability as a pair of trusty flat shoes. And sure, I can get on board with kitten heels—just don’t come near me with a pair of stilettos—but when it comes down to it, flats will always be my first choice, no matter the occasion.
And while ballet flats will forever have a place in my heart (I still remember my first pair, glittery and silver as I danced at my primary school disco), there’s something about a pair of slingback flats that feels effortlessly chic. They add a touch of elegance to any outfit, and as proven by some of our favourite influencers, they’re a versatile shoe trend that can be styled in a myriad of ways.
So it’s fair to say I’m *loving* all the flat slingback shoes I’ve been seeing online lately, and there have been a few pairs that have caught my eye, from luxury and high-street brands alike. There’s such a gorgeous variety of style, colour and material, it’s made it easy to envision how to wear flat slingbacks this winter and beyond.
It’s safe to say we’re pretty spoilt for choice with options right now, and I’ve scoured the Internet to compile a list of the very best pairs of flat slingback shoes you can get your hands on. From the likes of H&M and Zara to Chloé and Gucci, this list covers all bases. The only problem is deciding which ones you like best…
The black skirt and white T-shirt combo is gorgeous, and the slingbacks are the perfect shoe to elevate Taffy’s look.
