Add The New York Post on Google My tired feet hate a pair of heels, so when I found out brown flat shoes were trending, I was all in.
I praise my coworkers for rocking stilettos to the office, but that could never be me. Lately, I’ve been sporting chocolate-brown flats instead that are equal parts cozy and chic.
Espresso, chestnut and chocolate-brown tones fit the assignment for fall: leave summer brights behind, and start embracing a warmer color palette to balance out chilly temps.
“Brown flats are having a major moment right now because they’re effortlessly chic. Reaching for a brown shoe feels slightly less predictable than black and instantly elevates the overall look,” celebrity stylist Jazmin Whitley told the Post. “Going into fall, they’re the perfect way to make your outfits feel more polished, especially with an everyday causal outfit.”
Page Six Style & Shopping Director Elana Fishman is also a fan of the style and is fully embracing fall vibes.
“I love the warmth of a brown flat — whether a ballerina, an oxford or a slingback. It looks especially great when you’re wearing other earth tones, like camel and beige,” she said. “But if you really want to embrace the autumnal vibes, try teaming a brown shoe with a classic fall color like maroon, hunter green or mustard. Oh, and contrary to what you may have heard, it’s absolutely fine to pair a black outfit with a brown shoe (or vice versa).”
