As fashion experts, the new year gets us beyond excited for up-and-coming trends — especially when it comes to shoes. We're predicting that flats will be even bigger in 2019. There are so many stylish options that work with dresses as well as jeans and trousers. The opulent fabrics, glitzy embellishments, and unique shapes will be just as relevant in several months as they are right now. Run, don't walk, toward these smart investments.
