Listen—black flats are hard to top. It's one of the few shoe styles you could get away with wearing every single day. However, I think we can all agree black is not the most exciting option, and experimenting with shoe colors is one of my go-to styling tricks. The shoe color trend I find myself swapping black for more often than not is red. Red shoes are not new or particularly revolutionary, but that pop of color never fails to transform an outfit. Plus, they weirdly work with anything they're paired with. I kid you not—every single time I wear red flats with an outfit, I get compliments.
Celebrities, like Bella Hadid, know all about the outfit-transforming capabilities of red flats, and Maude Apatow is Wholesale Replica Bag of many examples. She was recently photographed attending an event in L.A. wearing a dress that would've certainly looked good with black flats, but wearing red Mary Janes with her red-and-white gingham Frankies Bikinis dress was undoubtedly more of an eye-catching move. If I had to guess, I'd say that she received several compliments on her outfit.
