When it comes to footwear, there's a reason flats are a favorite among so many stylish women. First and foremost, this silhouette in particular instantly dresses up even your most casual ensemble.

It seems we're not alone, either; celebrities are stepping out in these top styles too.
Below, we're highlighting the three top flats styles for spring, as worn by a few of our favorite stylish stars. Each trend is not only guaranteed to look great but also will keep you and your feet comfy and satisfied.
