FLATS TO WALK TALL IN

The days of ‘no pain, no gain’ fashion are over. These sleek leather sandals are versatile, on trend and so comfortable, you’ll want to wear them to every event in your diary

This season, flats have really stepped up in the style stakes, and our feet couldn’t be happier. Minimalist, shimmering metallics, bold and bright; whatever design you choose, you’ll be able to enjoy every moment in comfort. Top of our wishlist are these shiny sole saviours: crafted from luxury leather, they have special padding to make you feel like you’re walking on air. And they look good too. Pair them with pale-wash denim and a white shirt for an easy, smart-casual look – ideal for the office or a weekend coffee date. Once event season kicks in, style them with a pretty day dress and a coral pedicure; midi skirts, maxi silhouettes, even a tailored suit will look equally chic. The options are endless, as are the hours you’ll want to spend wearing them.
