There's a change in the air when it comes to flat shoes. Finally everybody is growing bored of the Audrey Hepburn style ballet pumps and looking for alternatives.
First came loafers which have been spotted on Kelly Osbourne and Fearne Cotton, and now there's the jazz shoe! Although this style of flat has been on the fashion horizon for a while they are now available everywhere from Marc Jacobs to Topshop.
They're a great chic yet comfortable choice of footwear for the day and would look great with slightly cropped tailored trousers.
My favourite are the red Marc by Marc Jacobs (£220) pair which would brighten up any outfit but see below for other options.
Wacoal
Blue Wax
black'Up
When I was in Europe last month, I saw a lot of women wearing jazz flats. I'm still iffy on the trend, I think I prefer a pointier toe to make it look updated. Plus I think I would feel like I was back in class and had to do "jazz hands" all the time along with a little sashay (;
1They have a pair in Topshop with a heel and they are SO cute. I love them. They would definitely look great with a pair of cropped skinny trousers, as you suggested, Fab. There is a girl in the dept. next to me who is wearing a pair of silver ones today with black tights and a dress - it looks great on her b/c she is tall and thin and can carry it off!
2ok i'm having NIGHTMARES if i really hear that jazz shoes are becoming trendy. i used to dance for 15+ years and i lived in jazz shoes and really hated them after a while. now to see that even marc jacobs is bringing them back - i don't know what i'm going to do with myself. i feel like ballet style flats/pumps were more reasonable, but jazz shoes - i'm shuddering!
