A mother's morning essentially consists of 5% getting herself ready and 95% making sure everyone else is settled and ready to go. A working mom is darting from her briefcase to her baby bag and back to her toddler's backpack. Getting dressed and presentable for the day must be practical. For most mom's that means kissing their beloved heels goodbye. After all, dodging Legos and darting to catch spit-up before it hits the floor is a lot of fast footwork. That doesn't mean mom gets to slide into the office a hot mess either, or can necessarily sport her favorite sneakers. The practical solution? Flats. Many, many comfortable flats.
Flats have a fairly bad wrap in the fashion world. They are often thought of as boring, and really more functional than they are fun. However, flats really seemed to have had new life breathed into them for the fall. There are styles everywhere that exude personality and they're available across price points. One major on-trend flat shoe style? Mules and loafers — really! These stereotypically "old-fart" flats have gotten snazzy as of late. Gone are the days of blah-brown suede loafers — now shiny rose gold styles are all the rage. Pompoms are adorning the front of feet, and studs are everywhere. Oh and florals — florals are all over this season's flats. So whether a mom is sweet and feminine or serious and slick, there is a shoe style out there waiting for her.
Moms who are ready to get to work and werk it will totally love the 20 options we pulled together for some style inspiration. Comfort, style, and function can totally come in one shoe — and these flats totally prove it!
