The Best Fancy Flats For Day-To-Night Style
When your festive feet are feeling too tired for heels but you still want to steal the show, it’s time to slip on a pair of fabulous flats that are as glamorous as they are comfortable
While sparkly stilettos and power platforms remain key pillars of a perfect party wardrobe, designers have also dropped a whole host of fabulously fancy flats that rank highly in the comfort stakes this season, making them strong contenders for disco-ready dress codes and nights spent going from one event to the next.
Ballet flats made a major comeback last year, and have barely been out of the spotlight since, so it’s little wonder they’re among the season’s most sought-after styles. New for FW24 and inspired by 19th-century portraits of Empress Joséphine, Manolo Blahnik’s Mary Janes come in smooth satin and are topped with bejeweled buttons. They can easily be paired with jeans and knitwear during the day and a flirtatious LBD by night. Elsewhere, Le Monde Béryl’s metallic cracked-leather pair has a silver shine that will elevate casual denim and polished midi dresses alike. Plus, they’re exclusive to NET-A-PORTER.

For something suitably festive, opt for Christian Louboutin’s ‘Sweetie Jane’ ballerinas, which are reimagined in cherry-red leather to match the brand’s signature soles and have a small block heel. Embrace the shade elsewhere in your look with a matching lip or manicure. Another NET-A-PORTER exclusive, Aeyde’s trending ‘Uma’ flats are crafted from plush moss-green velvet with delicate Mary Jane straps and square toes. They’ll pair perfectly with strong-shouldered blazers and tailored pants or a full-skirted midi dress.
Whichever style you favor, there’s something dazzlingly sophisticated about pairing a short cocktail dress with a pair of flat Mary Janes or seeing a point-toe slingback peek out from a maxi skirt. And if you think ditching the stilettos might reduce your stature, you’ll more than make up for it in staying power on the dance floor.
