There's a new footwear trend lighting up the streets of London, and its appeal is hard to ignore. All around us, fashion people are retiring their beloved black flats for shimmering silver styles ahead of winter, and they've been bringing a smile to my face on the daily. With a light-catching quality, the emerging silver flat-shoe trend imparts the brightness that the sun generally lacks at this time of year and offers a new way to add some dimension to a minimal outfit without having to layer in bright colours. Silver really started to take hold when the silver trouser trend caught our attention at the end of last year. Now, we're witnessing an offshoot in footwear form, and I'd argue that the metallic has become even more wearable because of this—though with the current weather, we may be adding socks for the foreseeable.
Masquerading as a statement shoe, silver flats are actually far more wearable than they might appear. Not a far cry from the grey and white tones we've been styling for decades, this upgrade pairs just as well with the black, beige and denim tones that typically saturate our wardrobes.
Looking to give my outfits a timely winter refresh, I'm backing silver flats to get me through the festive season in comfort and style, and luckily for me, there are ample shopping options available. From Reformation's pretty take on a classic ballet flat to Mango's mesh iteration, read on to discover our edit of the best silver flat shoes.
