1) The Versatile Ballerina Flat 

Flats are considered a classic look that is both comfortable and stylish. Flats are great because they can be worn with any outfit and can be easily dressed down for a casual look or dressed up for a night out. Achieve the perfect casual look by pairing your flats with some dark skinny jeans and a flow-y, peach-colored top. Or take full advantage of spring by pairing your flats with a girly bubble skirt and fitted tank or even with a cute ’50s-inspired floral dress. Show off your personality by choosing a flat with a fun design such as leopard print or floral print, or stay classic with a nude-colored flat. When it comes to flats, the possibilities are truly endless.

2) Sky-High Platform Pumps

This style is best classified as sexy yet elegant. It’s the perfect choice of footwear for a night out with the girls or an elegant dinner with your special someone. The best part is platforms are definitely a lot more comfortable and easier to walk in than stilettos and yet they look just as good. This season, the most popular colors for platform pumps are a glittery gold or silver or a nude tone. Show off your favorite pumps by pairing them with a short bandage dress, a pencil skirt or even a nice dressy pant.

3) Oxfords 

Oxfords are a new trend that you will see worn all throughout the spring and summer. These shoes are similar to flats in that they are really simple to pair with anything. Although these shoes may have a masculine look at times, you can achieve a quirky, unique look if you pair them with a cute floral dress.

4) Gladiator Sandals

Gladiator sandals will continue to be a hit trend this spring season. Gladiator sandals, either as flats or high heels, look great with a maxi dress. Another plus about gladiators is they come in various heel heights. So if you’re not in the mood to throw on stilettos, you have the option of wedged, heeled gladiator sandals or flat gladiator sandals.
