So, we've noted that Metallic Heels are a sure trend at the moment. But what about their more practical sibling, the metallic flat?


Kate Moss, Cameron Diaz and Nicole Richie are all fans of metallic flats.

The choice between flats or heels is a matter of personal preference - but for those who find flats too dull, metallics are a good solution. They're more interesting and add some flair to an outfit, without the discomfort of high-heels. Silver or gold work best right now - and you can find them in ballet style, sandals, moccasins, mary-janes or points.


Clockwise from left: Marc by Marc Jacobs metallic moccasins; Miu Miu metallic leather flats; Miu Miu jewel leather flats; Chloe Paddington metallic leather moccasins.

Shoes available at Net-a-Porter.

Since she's had a baby to worry about, Christina Aguilera has been more often trading in her trademark high-heeled Louboutins for more comfortable flats. Here she is wearing the metallic ballet flat trend with jeans.

I have a woven silver pair that I bought last year that I'm currently wearing to death. Great for the work office with all those stairs.

I am personally tired of the whole ballet shoe era and prefer to see something with a robust heel. As far as metallic is concerned, it's still H.O.T

I've a silver pair, I haven't had that much wear out of them, but they certainly add something to an otherwise dull outfit.
