When celebrities like Anya Taylor-Joy wear a particular shoe trend, and brands like The Row and Toteme make it, you know it's an elegant one. The trend I'm referring to is high-vamp flats, which I also like to call whole-foot flats. The high-vamp shoe trend was everywhere last year, and it's still going strong. Lately, the style I see elegant dressers wear most often is high-vamp ballet flats, which is what Taylor-Joy opted to wear to Miley Cyrus' album listening party last night in L.A.
Taylor-Joy's flats were a glove-style black leather pair, which she wore with black trousers and a furry white coat (May grey, folks). They're just about as elegant and versatile as flat shoes get, as in you can wear them day or night. And while choosing which pairs to include in this story, I was honestly overwhelmed by how many options there are to choose from right now, but I managed to narrow it down. So without further ado, keep scrolling to shop the best whole-foot flats on the internet.
