Being petite means I love to elevate my look with a pair of sky-high heels, but running from meeting to meeting, casual weekend lunches or a not-so-long layover calls for a comfier alternative: flats. This Fall, more and more flats are popping up in stores, and it’s hard to know which trends are going to last you season after season. So, I scoured the stores to find you the best flats that are sure to be staples in your closet for years to come.

Modern Mules

Getting this style on is as easy as getting yourself into a pair of slippers. If you’re finding yourself rushing out for Monday morning meetings, or needing a quick change, these might be the shoes for you.

Ballet-Inspired

I love this delicate style. They are more comfortable than a pair of pointed toe flats and. This style is super popular right now. You can pair them with jeans, summer dresses, the options are endless.

Ladylike Loafers

Loafers get a bad rap for being clunky and reminiscent of our grade-school days, but designers are making them daintier than ever meaning this classic style can be worn with more than just a school uniform.

Lace-Up

Lace-up flats hit the scene several seasons ago, and the trend doesn’t seem to be fading (for good reason). I’ve always been a fan of anything lace-up so I think these might be my favorite style!

Pointy

If all else fails, stick to the classics. I’m wearing a simple black suede pair that can take you from day to night. I love this pair because they elongate my legs and look very chic.
