Loeffler Randall Daphne Gold Pleated Bow Slide ($250)

These open toe slip-on flats are the perfect mix of elegant and comfortable, ideal for fancy events when you have to be on your feet for hours. The bow detailing feels just as dressy as heels and pairs well with everything from bright-colored dresses to neutral jumpsuits. The shoe is available in gold (pictured), leopard, gingham, and more.
