Dressier black flats for work with Editor pants? Any recs?

[ohgillian]

I know flats aren't that dressy, but some seem more casual than others. I love the brown coach heels that y'all helped me pick. Any suggestions for black flats to go with editor pants, a shell and cardigan (aka what I wear 80% of the time)?

I feel like patent leather is dressier than a regular ballet flat. I have several cole haan flats.

I have the manhattan on sale last fall and wear them all the time.

You can find many others at different price points.

I agree something in a patent leather always seems dressier to me too

I too agree that patent is fancier. I have a pair of Franco Sarto black suede and patent flats that work with black pants, but I got them 4 years ago at Marshalls so I doubt they are around now. They do look similar to these Anne Klein shoes at Zappos:  Leather Anne Klein shoe

What about a wedge similar to this?

I think a structured, point-toe is more polished. It can be leather, suede, or patent. A soft, round-toed shoe, that curls up when not on your foot, is very casual to me.

What about these?

Something embellished dresses up an outfit too. These are gray, but could work.

I own a brown and black pair of Marc Joseph New York Cypress Hill Driver Mocs. They are the most comfortable flat I have ever worn. Totally worth the price. They look great under dress pants.

Thanks for the help. The link didn't work for me. I have been eyeing these but wondered if they were juvenile?  www.6pm.com/anne-klein-phyllida-black-leather


Or these?

I think the shape of the shoe makes a big impact.

I think of round toes, like you posted, as very casual. I find pointed toes more elegant (it's a personal thing).

To me, the shape of these ones (image below) is ideal. They look slim and elegant. The taper is perfect, neither too long nor too abrupt. It's shaped like a classic pump minus the heel. There's nothing frumpy or cheap looking about them, so I'd try to duplicate them in an affordable price range.

Good luck and happy shopping!

I have these and like them for days I just don't want to wear heels.

The wedge gives me a little bit more than a plain flat and I like the pointed toe.

I like the Anne Klein ones as long as the beads aren't loose.  Clicking beads as you walk will get old fast.

The second pair are NMS.  They look geriatric.

I love these! How do they fit? Narrow? TTS?

Pretty TTS for me.  I got a 6.5 in them which is my regular size.

Random, but are these loud when you walk?

Nope.
