Fall is here, but it is not quite cool enough for boots to become an everyday footwear feature. Flats continue to be fabulous in the fall even when you wear them in a casual way. Here are two styles that will make your feet happy while keeping your fall fashion cool.
This first flat screams fall – the moccasin! Brown suede moccasins are the perfect flats to round out your laid back fall ensembles of oversized sweaters and cords. Mocs are also good with any style jean (skinny, bell, trouser) and tees to jackets for those drastic hot to cold days. Whether you wear with a fellow fall trend like a Navajo print or back this season plaid, these shoes will walk you into the world of forward fashion. Get your super cool Minnetonka Mocs for under $50 now at Piperlime ($40).
These flats may look like they are meant for the indoors, but that’s what makes them so special for the season. Loafers keep your comfy, at home look classy so you can take it to the streets. Take your cue from Hugh Hefner and his famous black and red smoking robe. Try wearing with a layered menswear look consisting of a turtle neck, vest and blazer or tie at the waste sweater (like Hugh’s robe). Do dark denim or trousers on the bottom and add some patterned socks if you feel bold and cold. You can get these DV by Dolce Vita loaders in black or natural on sale at Piperlime (originally $75, now $44.99).







East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
