When even my friends who truly thrive in stilettos are dabbling in loafers, I know I can safely report that there's really something to this flat-footwear trend. As someone who has never shied away from avoiding heels, I couldn't be more thrilled. Although, it's somewhat cruel that the internet is suddenly providing all the flat shoes my heart could ever desire right when I've finally taken it upon myself to cull my footwear down to just a handful of perfect styles.

Even if you can't imagine your work wardrobe sans heels, allow me to introduce you to some flat footwear that will keep things chic on your winter commute. From Mary Janes to ballet flats, loafers to slingbacks, metallic styles to sneakers, these 32 pairs just might make you think twice about stealthily changing out of them under your desk.

Glove Flats

The hallmark red interior is so chic.

These are sitting in my cart to purchase once I finally decide between the gold and the silver.

Aeyde's low-key styles are really having a moment.

Mary Janes

I keep seeing very cool people wearing these.

The perfect shade of camel is hard to find.

Business at the front, a little party on the side.

Ballet Flats

These come in five chic neutrals, but the deep brown is my favorite.

Never not controversial but always a vibe.

These are great in black, and there are maybe a few pairs in brown left if you hurry.

Loafers

These classics also come in a soft bone colorway that deserves a peep.

Truly the softest loafers in all the land.

Sneakers

Minimal and chic—just how I like my sneaks.

A fantastic palette of neutrals. 

Black sneakers are really growing on me at the moment. 

Slingbacks

That's some Jil Sander energy.

A reminder not to sleep on the metallic trend.

Mesh Flats

Into the juxtaposition of a tough buckle with dainty mesh.

Cozy Flats

Birkenstock's Big Buckle styles are always a favorite. 

Perfect to bop about in during the holidays.
