Trend Alert: Fashion FlatsFlat shoes reign supreme for AW13 in a host of new season finishes, from Saint Laurent’s evening-ready

slippers and Ferragamo’s classic ballerinas to Charlotte Olympia’s best-selling kitty flats.

Alexander McQueen

Alexander McQueen proves that decadence in the shoe department is not strictly reserved for heeled styles with this pair of lavishly embroidered flats. Crafted in luxe suede, the trims are finished with gold-tone leather while the shoe is hand-embroidered with polka dots and a star motif. Shimmering diamantés add the perfect finishing touch.

Nicholas Kirkwood

A hint of nostalgia for Mod styling is detectable in Nicholas Kirkwood’s gleaming leather Ecuador shoe. Black leather is crafted for a round toe that is emphasised by the white piping along the sole. Helping to secure the Velcro tab is a shiny jewel that glints spectacularly in the light. Work them with a loose-fit tee and a pair of roll-up denims for retro cool.

Giuseppe Zanotti

The smoking slipper continues to reign supreme this season so why not invest in Giuseppe Zanotti’s punchy printed pair. Featuring a stylish ponyhair finish and glossy gold-tone embellishments, this exquisite style will add effortless appeal to every look.

KG Kurt Geiger

Brogues continue to be a great winter flat, as their masculine edge brings a lovely contrast to soft winter knits and leggings. This version from KG Kurt Geiger, with eye-catching stud detailing in silver and black crystals, are sure to be a winter wardrobe favourite.

Carvela Kurt Geiger

Step into regal territory with Carvela’s Legal slipper shoe. Featuring a faux suede upper, the shoes are finished with an embroidered crest design, embellished with faceted jewel stones. Complete with a low heel, these shoes will take your look from day to night.

Charlotte Olympia

With a striking ‘lips’ detail on its gently rounded toe in contrasting silky-soft suede, these flats by Charlotte Olympia are match made in heaven with cropped cigarette trousers or a pencil skirt. They are even a chic evening alternative to a heel, adding a burst pop of colour to a little black dress.
