Simple elegance is easy to recognize but can be hard to replicate. Often, a single piece makes the look; lately, in Paris, it's been the shoes.
Actress Angeline Jolie was recently spotted in the City of Lights wearing a combination of soft browns with smart, black pointy-toe flats. It's a style that has been around forever but has quietly taken over since Paris Fashion Week. Styled with everything from jeans to gowns, it's truly one of those wardrobe staples that goes with everything. And, they'll last—provided you're willing to spend a bit more upfront for quality leather and craftsmanship.
Keep scrolling to shop ten pairs of pointy black flats, plus some outfit inspiration from Jolie and other fashionable women spotted on the streets of Paris. Dress the shoes up for the holiday season, or keep it casual for commuting. The options are truly infinite.
