5 New Flat Styles to Wear With Skinny Jeans

There are two types of people when it comes to getting dressed: those who create an outfit around a pair of shoes and those who throw on shoes right before walking out the door. I for sure fall into the first group, with a dressing behavior highly focused on my shoe selection. That’s not to say there aren’t days when I flip to the other side of the spectrum—every rule has its exceptions—but I’m fairly reliable here. It’s the reason I’m typically drawn to footwear that I want to show off, truly covetable styles that will make any outfit the best it can possibly be. Of course, comfort and versatility are always key.

Which brings me to today’s story, featuring five fresh flat styles that are worthy of being your key outfit piece—and happen to look great with a pair of skinny jeans.
