25 of the most comfortable (and fashionable!) flats to rock this spring

In a soundbite heard ‘round the world, Victoria Beckham — consummate stiletto-wearer and designer known for her slinky, sexy dresses — confessed to The Telegraph, “I just can’t do heels anymore. At least not when I’m working.”

It seems that the fashionista formerly known as Posh Spice has finally let her life as a successful business woman, wife and mother of four kids catch up to her personal style. Lately she has been spotted in oversize turtleneck sweaters, menswear-inspired trousers and, you guessed it, flats. (Even sneakers, if you can believe it!)

Victoria Beckham’s sleek and cool approach to wearing flats while working and traveling has inspired us to reconsider just how much a great pair of flats can do for our daily uniform. A pair of on-trend, lace-up flats will go perfectly with our favorite spring dresses and skirts, while a pair of loafer slides worn with cropped pants and a blouse make pajama dressing acceptable at the office.

Ahead, shop our five favorite flat styles for spring.

These shoes are like a hybrid between loafers and slippers, and are part of Spring 2016’s pajama dressing trend. In black, cognac or metallic leather they’ll go perfectly with all of your favorite pants and jeans — but don’t be afraid to mix things up with a fun color or print.
