My Editor Senses Are Tingling—Nordstrom's New $60 Flats Are About to Go Viral
As a fashion editor, it's my job to predict how the internet will react to new releases, runway collections, collaborations, and more. It's not enough to identify a trend once it has already caught on. You have to spot them early and take a chance. Well, that's exactly what I'm doing today after noticing that Open Edit, an in-house Nordstrom brand editors love, had dropped a pair of new Mary Jane flats in two colorways. At just $60, these shoes sent my editor senses tingling, a sure sign I'd just found a future hit.
Named Regina, the flats feature a slightly pointed toe and delicate top strap—details that immediately reminded me of other offerings I'd seen in the designer shoe section of Nordstrom's website, where pairs by The Row, Aeyde, and Prada can be found. The big difference, of course, is that those flats go for hundreds of dollars or more, and these will only set you back $60—or $120 if you buy both colors, which might have to be my move.
Keep scrolling to shop Open Edit's Regina Flats before the world catches wind of this just-launched style and buys up every last pair. Trust me. You'll regret it if you don't.
More chic flats from Nordstrom:
The leather version is far more practical for fall than satin. Just saying.
I've been obsessed with Martiniano's Glove Gold shoes for nearly a decade. These will get me the same look for far less.
Honestly, who needs flowers when you can receive these on your birthday, anniversary, etc.?
The perfect mid-level price point if you want excellent quality but don't want to break the bank.
Tory Burch will always make a stellar pair of flats—period.
