We Tested the Best Transitional-Weather Flats for Women to Shop This Season

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. Autumn is upon us, and if the takeaways from fall 2026 runways are any indication, you’d be wise to shop for the season’s best flats as opposed to focusing exclusively on the quintessential shoes of fall: boots. Animal print flats are en vogue right now, and so are jewel-toned ones wrapped in sumptuous fabrics such as velvet. Mary Jane silhouettes are continuing to reign supreme; pointed toes are making a grand entrance (how else will your flats peek out from under that baggy denim?); and ballet pumps, also known as heeled ballet flats, are turning up on the feet of everyone from Hailey Bieber to Zoë Kravitz and looking more refined than their shorter prototypes. Slingback, mule-adjacent, and mesh-powered flats for women might soon retire from your rotation — if you live in a climate that gets chilly come Octobe...

Charles Spencer’s first book about the former Princess of Wales, “Swan Song: Diana, My Sister,” arrives Sept. 22, 2026, and it’s already an Amazon No. 1 bestseller.
