Ditch the Sandals! 4 Chic Shoes

By Kate Martel

So you're starting to think about swapping your sandals for a more sophisticated look (and who can blame you with all of the adorable styles that are already surfacing for the months ahead!) but how do you know which ones are worth the investment? We have leveled the options to one flat-out fashionable and comfortable style to step out in this season: the no-heel shoe. Between the interesting textures, bold colors, metal accents and feminine details, the flats on tap for fall will satisfy every fashion craving imaginable.

The Peep-Toe Flat

Before the temperature drops, try on this trend by sliding into a pair of peep-toe flats. Designers like Bettye Muller are adding delightfully detailed and brightly colored options like the Cruise Flat to their collections, making this a style you can sport now and wear right into the fall. While bold patent leather is most striking for summer, the styles we've listed below are lovely for later!

Bold Colors

The '80s have such a mega influence in the fashion world right now, so bold brights and neons are shining bright. Use shoes in these hues to add a pop of color to basic blacks or jeans and a t-shirt. Try T-strap flats from Forever21.com to achieve this hip look with a sophisticated twist!

Snake Skin

Slip into an exotic skin that shows just how style-savvy you are. Snake skin is an elegant option when it comes to choosing the perfect flat. Not only is it work appropriate, but it works like a charm when you're trying to jazz up a casual dress. But no snake has to die for you to get in this trend! We love the Viper Flats by MIA because they are an affordable version of the real thing (About $45!).

Pointy Toed

Think stilettos minus the heel! These flats point in the right direction. They work in any material, slick or textured. With or without bows, buckles, studs and straps-this almond-shaped shoe is without a doubt a must-have flat for summer and fall. Check out some of our favorite looks to the left!
