The $35 Flats Everyone Will Be Wearing for the Next Four Months
When it comes to fashion choices, while many people are inclined to take risks and try new things, I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I have more of a tendency to align with the saying, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Sure, I update my wardrobe seasonally and buy into trends when I see fit, but more often than not, I like to rely on tried-and-true brands, outfits, and even specific items rather than leaving things to chance with something new.
If you can relate—and even if you can’t—I think you’ll be thrilled about the latest pair of flats in our Who What Wear collection for Target (conveniently pictured above). Why? Because we’ve taken the flat-mule silhouette our shoppers have loved season after season and simply updated it in an of-the-moment raffia material and color that’s perfect for the months ahead. They're so good, in fact, that despite my personal feelings on flats (which you can read more about here), I’m inclined to make them one of my few exceptions. To see what all the hype is about and shop the shoes for yourself, just keep scrolling.
The original brown mock-croc version of these mules was a staple inBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editor Kristen's spring and summer wardrobe last year.
When we came out with them in black earlier this year, fashion girls were quick to stock up.
This season's raffia style is the perfect neutral flat for every spring and summer outfit.
