Since sneakers became an absolute trend, leaving the gym to reign on the asphalt, comfort has gone from being an option to becoming an essential pillar. Heels are no longer mandatory in the office, not even at an event: now, to be elegant, we don't need to add centimeters, just choose our footwear well.
Quality fabrics take precedence over heel height, and completely flat glove-effect ballerinas can be as sophisticated as the slingbacks that represented the “power dressing” of the 80s. Precisely, this type of footwear returns in 2026, but it coexists perfectly with the most comfortable flat shoes of all time. We focus on the latter, seeking inspiration on networks to dress well in fall 2026 without giving up comfort.
How to choose flat shoes well to create comfortable looks

The Tabi ballet flats are controversial, but I confess that since I have them I don't want to wear anything else. They are very comfortable. These black ones from Ulanka are also perfect to combine with capri pants – which give them all the prominence – a pure trend this season.

Minimalist leather mules are also trendy and an ideal choice as a transitional shoe that we can wear with or without socks. To take advantage of this look with a lingerie miniskirt, white cotton t-shirt and leather biker pants is perfect. The distinctive touch is provided by the checkered shirt, winking at the grunge style of the nineties (a booming decade this season).

The touch of red is another of the trends that started online and is now almost omnipresent in stores and street style. We can provide it with a sweater over our shoulders, with a bag or with shoes as we see in the image. In this case the total white look is broken with three details: the beige trench coat, the black bag and the sweater and some red leather ballet flats.

A classic that returns every fall – but especially this 2026 – are Chanel's two-tone ballerinas. The iconic sand-colored shoes with black toes are not suitable for all budgets, but there are clones for all budgets. To wear them without falling into conventions, this look with straight jeans, a green sweater and a black bag is as comfortable as it is divine.

Finally, loafers, another recurring classic that changes each season to adapt to the trends of the moment. This year, leather ones in brown tones with retro details are sweeping, as if taken from a Parisian second-hand store. A shoe that combines perfectly with jeans and that accepts more risky garments such as a main animal trencht.
