Top 10 Party Flats

STYLE WITH: With a combo of soft suede and crystal embellishments, these statement-making flats can amp up even the simplest LBD.

HELPFUL TIP: These may feel a bit stiff when you first put them on, but they'll break in after a few wears. And trust us—it's well worth the wait.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Crystal embellishments are not only perfect for Christmas parties, but they're also incredibly on-trend for fall and winter. While they're sure to look fab with your holiday dress, you can also style them with sweaters, distressed jeans, and everything in between.

HELPFUL TIP: These run small, so it's best to order a half size up. No sense in swapping your heels for flats if you'll still be in pain, right?

LOVED FOR: Baby blue bottoms add a touch of personality to this rhinestone-studded style (not that they needed it in the first place).

USERS SAID: "These shoes were PERFECT for my wedding! I can only wear flats and struggled to find something appropriate enough. Let me just say, I turned down Christian Louboutin flats for these, and I'm so happy I did!"

WHY YOU NEED IT: Finished off with Valentino's signature pyramid studs (perfect for parties, in our opinion), these high-quality flats will last through many seasons and holiday soirées to come.

STYLE WITH: Thanks to the pebbled leather, pointed toe, and professional vibe, you can totally rock these to the office, too. What's better than a multi-tasking shoe?

BEST FOR: If you're looking to keep things simple, these Aquazzura flats are a solid choice. Complete with gold accents at the heels, side cutouts, and a bow on the back, they add a subtle but sophisticated spin on your typical black flat.

AS SEEN ON: Meghan Markle wears them on the reg, so we probably will too.

LOVED FOR: We've already covered the fact that comfort is key during party season, and these cushy flats are as cozy as it gets. Plus, the embroidered details are too cute to pass up.

USERS SAID: "This is a FANTASTIC FLAT! Ellen, you have outdone yourself, and that is saying something! I purchased a pair last fall, and they were my go-to flat. If I had the money, I would get them in every color. I ordered the gold, and the color is perfect, the fit is great, and the comfort is top-notch."

WHY YOU NEED IT: Tory Burch flats are a top-notch choice for everyday wear, but thanks to the addition of gold cap toes and grosgrain ribbon, this particular pair has a flashy feel that's fit for parties, too. They're the quintessential wear-everywhere flat.

LOVED FOR: With soft leather, foam cushioning, and a slipper-like fit, these are even more comfortable than Tory Burch's OG ballet flats—which says a lot, because those are crazy comfortable.

WHY YOU NEED IT: These iconic flats may initiate a hint of sticker shock, but we assure you the investment is well worth it. With their classic style, superb comfort, and heirloom-level quality, they're sure to stay in your closet for years to come. If you've got a party on your planner, now's a better time than ever to buy them.

AS SEEN ON: See how It girl Alexa Chung styles hers.

STYLE WITH: Chloe's signature scalloped topline makes these flats instant standouts. Pair them with a simple long-sleeve cocktail dress and let them be the star of your look.

USERS SAID: "Love these ballet flats. This is the third pair I have purchased, and I practically live in them. They're super comfortable all day long, and the high-quality leather prevents blisters. I also like that they are weightless and make it feel like you're barefoot all day. Love them!"

LOVED FOR: Elastic ballet flats are notorious for causing blisters and bruises, but this pair is different. The leather is buttery soft and forms to your foot, so you can confidently dance the night away pain-free.

HELPFUL TIP: While every colorway is equally stunning, we highly recommend the leopard print. It's on-trend for fall and winter, and it'll go with practically everything you own.
