I Never Wear Flats, But This Fresh Trend Is Comfy, Elegant and Can Handle a 10K Step Count

As much as comfort dictates my daily styling, I'm honestly not much of a flat-shoe person.
Whilst I'm partial to an oversized layer and an elasticated pant, in the footwear department, I'm content to endure a little bit of discomfort if it means I can slip into a shoe that makes me feel my best. This season, however, I've finally found a flat-shoe silhouette that I genuinely love. Just as sleek, polished and comfortable as the ballet flats that have been trending for the past few seasons, the "glove" flat-shoe trend is the one I can't help but reach for every day at the moment.
With a skin-hugging design that offers more coverage than a traditional ballet flat, these flats have a streamlined finish that adds polish to any outfit. The uncomplicated silhouette stops them from feeling fussy or prim, as bow-adorned ballerinas easily can.
Pairing well with jeans, this pared-back shoe can easily meet the demands of early spring styling, with enough fabric to keep your feet shielded against the occasional puddle. They're also lightweight enough to keep you cool and comfy during hotter days.
A breakout shoe style this season, I've spotted so many brands experimenting with the new spring trend. From Essen's burgundy pair that already have the seal of approval fromBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK editor-in-chief, Hannah Almassi—who racked up a 16K step count wearing hers in Paris over the weekend—to H&M's simple black style that I honestly can't believe is still in stock, there are plenty of chic options well worth a look in.
Whilst these shoes are a no-brainer for styling with jeans, I've also seen some elegant looks that pair the slipper-like design with flowing skirts and tailored trousers that have entirely inspired my spring looks.
