A Trend Lover's Best Designer Flats For Work

It’s official – we’ve found the best designer flats of 2022. For example, the chunky-sole loafers by Ganni are a must-have! These stompers will make every dress (or pair of pants) you wear them with look instantly trendier. Not to mention, they offer a little extra height whilst still giving off the vibe of flats. Meanwhile, we love how their dark wine hue is a subtle step up from black that will still match perfectly with multiple colorways.
