I know, I know...insert eye roll. A trip to Ireland...what a lucky girl, indeed. Trinity F is our latest addition to the Reader Rave/Fave lineup needing cute but very comfortable flats for her trip. But guess what, this is her second request (HERE's her first). Here at RWD I'm all about providing all readers with the tools they need to be a standout fashionista on the prowl...I got you covered, Trin!
My inbox is flooded with requests daily but this one was just a casual post via my personal Facebook page (friend me: RWD). I was immediately about to just post an answer back but then I got to thinking...I know more women have the same question. So I got down to my detective work and found some well-researched answers for comfortable and fashionable flats for long days of sightseeing around the gorgeous Irish countryside.
Ireland, even in the Summer, is NOT known for its warm temps. I've provided some inspirational pics, above, of celebrities in fashionable, comfy, and layered looks...travel friendly is what we're after. I'm adoring Kirsten Dunst's leopard print flats and also what she chose to pair them with...you know I'm a sucker for SUSPENDERS lately! Take notice that three of the five looks incorporate simple black ballet flats. So chic, so Jackie O. Soooooo what every woman should own!
Speedy-savvy-stylin' below (classic black and colored) with all flats under $150. Now, I know many of you are like who would ever pay $150 for flats? Ladies, splurging on a comfortable black ballet flat is some of the best moolah you'll ever spend. I have the Hollywould Women's Hepburn Flat in Black (not the Target line, the nice designer version). I LOVE them and I adore that I can add the wrap around ties when donning them with cute Summer shorts or remove them when paired with skinny jeans. Seriously, worth...every...penny!
My research/fashion knowledge has chosen the other brands mostly for their comfort but also their fashionable wearability too. Trying to keep it under $150 was tough...well known comfy ballet flats from Tory Burch and Lanvin are in a higher price range. My suggestion to you Trinity, order 4-5 pairs, cruise around the house in them and send back the pairs you deem NOT perfect for your feet...let me know which pair(s) you decided on. Enjoy!
