I Walk 20,000 Steps a Day During Fashion Week—This It Girl Flats Trend Gets Me Through It

Celebrities wearing the high-vamp flats trend.

Greetings from the start of New York Fashion Week, where my list of styling tips and It pieces to try is growing by the minute. Ralph Lauren advocated for stacking corsets over turtlenecks and an equestrian boot comeback; ’90s scrunchies paired to pencil skirts ruled Marc Jacobs; Sandy Liang reinvented the slipper shoes trend for maximum coziness; and Tory Burch's Fall runway came with at least three bags I expect to see on cool girls’ arms by September. Through it all, I’ve been pounding the pavement between shows with the help of an It girl swap for classic ballerinas: the high-vamp flats trend. Trust me when I say this is an extremely versatile—and surprisingly comfortable—shoe on the rise in street style.
