This Flat-Shoe Trend Elevates Cropped Skinny Pants to the Pinnacle of Fall 2025 Style

      If you share my passion for shoes, you’ve likely put considerable thought into which footwear trends for fall 2025 you plan to embrace. There are plenty of stylish choices available, but I keep coming across flat slipper mules. While they may draw initial inspiration from hotel slippers found in luxury accommodations, that's where the similarities end. With their high-quality materials and durable soles, you won’t resemble someone wearing actual hotel slippers at all.

      I mention this specific fall footwear trend because Michelle Williams was recently seen in L.A. sporting a pair of flat slipper mules as she headed to a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! Williams wisely paired her tan suede slipper mules with this year's revived pant trend: cropped skinny pants. This once-dated style now looks fresh and modern when complemented by this effortless flat shoe trend, so I wholeheartedly encourage incorporating this combo into your wardrobe before fall arrives.
