Alexa Chung Has Swapped Sandals for These Stylish Flats While on Vacation

      Amidst the sparkling sea, sunset-toned buildings, and the refreshing coastal ambiance, Positano exudes an effortless sophistication. As you navigate the village’s cobbled streets, it seems that this inherent style is absorbed by all who pass through; both locals and visitors appear to embrace an elegant manner of dressing. When someone like Alexa Chung arrives, known for her sharp fashion sense, it's clear her styling will be nothing less than remarkable.

      With a versatile wardrobe suited for various occasions, I noticed Chung make a subtle update to her styling that helped her outfits blend seamlessly with the refined Italian backdrop. Rather than opting for her usual sandals or flip-flops, she chose a more polished yet similarly relaxed option for vacation footwear: closed-toe flats. This small change imbued her holiday looks with a sophisticated flair that perfectly matched the Amalfi Coast’s elegant environment.

      For a walk through Positano’s steep stone pathways, Chung picked black closed-toe flats featuring a sleek square toe, which she paired with a delicate white satin minidress adorned with mesh and lace details, finishing off the look with an olive-green cardigan that introduced a natural contrast. This wasn’t just a one-time styling choice; Chung appeared again in another version of the trend, this time opting for bright white ballerinas that complemented the crisp hue of her cotton dress. The monochromatic scheme felt refreshing and feminine, while the flat design offered a comfortable, easygoing finish that enhanced the overall elegance.

      With their full-coverage design, Chung's flats brought a level of sophistication that sandals couldn’t replicate. Scroll down to explore our selection of the most stylish flat shoes available now.
