When even my friends who truly thrive in stilettos are dabbling in loafers, I know I can safely report that there's really something to this flat-footwear trend. I would like to add that it's extremely rude that the internet is suddenly providing all the flat shoes my heart could ever desire—right when I've finally taken it upon myself to cull my footwear down to just a handful of perfect styles. But I digress.
Even if you can't imagine your work wardrobe sans heels, allow me to introduce you to some flat footwear that will (at the very least) keep things chic on your winter commute. From Mary Janes to ballet flats, loafers to slingbacks, metallic styles to sneakers, these 32 pairs just might make you think twice about stealthily changing out of them under your desk.
Glove Flats
The hallmark red interior is so chic.
These are sitting in my cart to purchase once I finally decide between the gold and the silver.

Aeyde's low-key styles are really having a moment.
Mary Janes
I keep seeing very cool people wearing these.

I love when Jacquemus goes low-key.

Ballet Flats
These come in five chic neutrals, but the deep brown is my favorite.

The most ballet of all ballet flats.
These are great in black, and there are maybe a few pairs in brown left if you hurry.
Loafers
The soft heel is speaking to me.
These classics also come in a soft bone colorway that deserves a peep.
The loafers of the season? Discuss.
Truly the softest loafers in all the land.

Mary Janes, but make them cozy.
