The Flat Shoe Trends Fashion People Wear in 2026 (Now on Sale at Nordstrom)

I recently shared a list of the best items from the Nordstrom Spring Savings Event. This year’s assortment is top-notch, with modern and versatile pieces that will help make any wardrobe even chicer. And yes, the sale features standout shoe silhouettes.

After scrolling through the on-sale shoe section, I found so many spring 2026 flat shoe trends that the fashion people I know are all about this season. Naturally, I rounded up the flats that matter if you want a fresh style that’s comfortable and fashionable. Need a new pair of sneakers? The style of the moment is below (hi, Adidas). What about a pair of flats to dress up or down? You better believe I have forward options for you. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration showcasing the trends, along with shopping picks from the Nordstrom sale.

Low-Profile/Retro Sneakers

In the sneaker realm, it’s all about those low-profile, slim, or retro sneakers. Basically every fashion person (myself included) is gravitating towards this stylish shoe to wear with everything from jeans to trousers.

Ruched Loafers

This is arguably one of my favorite flat shoe trends. A pair of loafers with gathering or ruching at the toe is impossibly chic and modern.

V-Cut/Glove Flats

You can’t go wrong with a classic pair of ballet flats, but a glove silhouette or a V-cut style is fresh and cool.

Flat Mary-Janes

Flat Mary-Janes are a polished shoe choice as an alternative to heels for an elevated vibe.
