The Best Slingback Flats and How to Style Them

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: It’s going to be a flat-shoe autumn. All year, flats have been in the lead, beating out even our most beloved ankle boots, trainers, and sandals, and the hype isn’t slowing down anytime soon. In fact, we keep seeing new flat-shoe trends emerge left and right, which tells us that their influence is only growing. With ballet flats, mesh flats, and studded flats already on the menu for autumn, we didn’t think we’d see another style bubble up so soon, but we were wrong. Suddenly, slingback flats are everywhere we look, and we have the celebrity outfits to prove it.

Recently, we’ve noticed that the most stylish A-listers are opting for slingback flats en masse, and if that weren’t enough to tip us off to the rising shoe trend, the diversity of styling ideas is cementing them as the season’s new versatile staples. Hailey Bieber, for one, is a fan of her Saint Laurent Blade Flats with both baggy jeans and slip dresses, while Addison Rae is testing the style with tailored trousers (and finding success).
