Choosing heels definitely requires a certain vibe, outfit, and in some cases a level of endurance that on most days you just may not be in the mood for. Flats, on the other hand, are more times than not the preferred choice for footwear. In case you still thought that only a heel of a certain height could transform an entire outfit for the better, these Banana Republic picks will change your mind.
A classic ballet flat may be the first style to come to mind, but these updated takes on the loafer, a modern mule and even sexy slingback prove that it doesn't take added inches to make a statement. The best part is that there's also zero compromising on comfort [1]. So whether it's a casual style that you're looking to pair with jeans or something more dressy [2] that still looks professional, you can easily update your shoe wardrobe with Banana Republic's lineup of loafers, slides, and flats.
