Whilst I’m usually one to steer clear of sandals and flip-flops in the city—the dust-strewn pavements are off-putting enough—this summer’s unrelenting heatwaves have made me give in more times than I’d have liked. In an attempt not to overheat, my near-bare feet have been far closer to the pavement than I would ever have preferred. But now, just as summer draws to a close, I’ve come across a breathable shoe trend that I’ll be opting for instead. Thanks to Karlie Kloss, I’m officially in the market for a pair of peep-toe flats.

How this shoe trend didn’t come into my orbit sooner, I couldn’t say, particularly as I’ve been such a fan of peep-toe heels for several seasons now. Offering the same slim cut-out that has always felt so sophisticated to me, these flat styles bring that elegant finish to an altogether more wearable silhouette, making them perfect for elevating everyday outfits.
Whilst Karlie wore hers with a slim-fitting midi dress, the trend would look just as polished with jeans or even shorts whilst we wait out the final weeks of summer.
Now that it’s on my radar, I don’t think I’ll be able to go without a pair. If you’re thinking the same, read on to shop the peep-toe flats I’m recommending below.
