Team Flats- What color flats do you wear the most?

Cilleena

Veteran

I would like to build my ballet flats wardrobe. I am strongly on team flats because of my fussy feet and lifestyle as a MOTG. I have metallic loafers, extremely versatile for me, I've noticed. What color flats, ballet flats in particular do you reach for the most? Why? Like...Black flats because they go with everything or red flats because they add color. Whatever.

I have 3 identical pairs in black, taupe and blue -- these I wear the most (that's why I bought 3).
I also wear an embellished pair of teal ones a lot.
I have metallic gold-taupe with ankle straps, and dark brown (these I dyed from cognac) too.
I am after red ones now and then I should be satisfied with what I have. Nor more flats until it's time to replace them.

I have, and wear, 3 grey/silver pair the most. I do have a browns pair - for when greys won't do.

I also have leopard, but they don't see a lot of use. I have a few other pair, but it's those greys I keep grabbing.

Taking notes...

I know what ones I want to own, I think, but as for what I wear the most, I don't know yet.

They are sadly no more but I loved my pointy toed scarlet red flats so much, I'm still trying to find their replacement. I also loved my grey patent flats (sadly no more) and a pair of leopard flats.

Hmm, only one person has black flats that they wear a lot so far. I would have thought that would be tops. Maybe I need to consider brown too. I had not even thought of a pair of brown flats, but I bet they would be versatile with summer bermudas.

brown will bookend your hair perfectly!

I used to center around black shoes, too, and then something clicked one day and I discovered the world beyond 'versatile' black! I probably wear my cream/nude beige the most as they are most comfortable and most versatile. I do have, and wear black zipper detail flats, and the red with silver coated heels only come out to play every so often. I still find them special and precious lol.

i do wear a lot of black shoes (pumps, slingbacks, and boots) but not ballet flats. for ballet flats i like more color.

Oh boy!

My red patent Privos flats are my very favorites. I also have the same shoe in distressed brown leather, and silver metallic. I have Palladium flats in teal suede, gray suede and taupe reptile print.

And Aerosoles ballet flats in bronze, pewter and black. I am still seeking the PERFECT leopard print flats!

Heehee. We do love our flats, don't we?

I have silver, black, and two shades of brown. I wear the silver most, and then the lighter brown. Somehow, my black outfits work better with heels.

Cilleena, except for black boots and booties, I hardly ever wear black shoes anymore and I have plenty of comfortable black flats. Instead I reach for:
1. pewter
2. beigey nude leather
3. nude patent
4. black-white colorblock
5. red

I have a pair of pewter flats that I wore to death last year. I would have bought the same ones again if they were available. I also have a pair of animal print (browns) that work with a wide variety. I have black patent but don't wear them as much. Usually with pants in winter.

I forgot that I also rely on my simple gold flats a lot. They seem to be my first alternative when grey/silver isn't right.

And to be fair, IF I had a pair of bright red ones - I think they'd be right up there too! I've been on the hunt for about a year, but between fussy feet and all those rubbery soles I don't want, I'm still searching. . .

I have 2 pairs of black flats one that I wear year round and another that I wear mostly in summer they are open toe (not so great in the snow) and a pair of leopard print that I wear often too I have a pair of brown ones but those don't get as much use as the others. I want to get a pair of red and either blue or green and I will be all set on flats for awhile at least lol!

I wear my silver and animal print the most. Then beige and black. I also have cream and black color block ones that I haven't broke out yet. I don't really like the look of black flats on me actually. I prefer the lower contrast silver.

I have a LOT of flats; by far the pairs I wear the most are my cognac ones and my black ones.

I tend to be matchy matchy with my outfits. I feel like if I've got on black bermudas or a black/dark dress, that I need black shoes. I'm just now starting to get used to the idea of "nude" shoes and the leg lengthening effect. I would assume that metallic has a similar effect.

Hmmmm....I love all of my flats! Just got back from a walk, I wore my madras plaid flats. I think I probably wear my black ballet flats the most, though. Because I wear a lot of black.

P.S. I have been longing for a pair of Chanel flats in pink and black...the pink looks sort of tan. j'adore!

I wear mostly a cool color palette, and wear pewter/silver flats the most. Second favorite color is a cool champagne which bookends my hair. So I guess metallics win for me.

I just got a pair of ballet flats in a color called "Moon Rock" and it's the most versatile color ever! the color seems to go well with the earthy and romantic colors of the moment (salmon pink, gray-greens, military green, browns, coffee, khaki, jeans blue, etc.).

I think I wear a pretty cool color palette in the spring and summer. I know I am more drawn to cooler colors at that time of the year. Lots of pinks (all shades), ice blue, navy blue, olive green, peachy coral (that's warm though, right?), white and black. My bottoms are usually denim, navy, tan, khaki, white or black.

So, I really can use almost any of the colors mentioned except maybe the turquoise. Love turquoise...wonder why I don't have any turquoise in my closet.

ETA: oooh, those are cute, Krish! Those are like the ultimate neutral.
