H&M has just released a $40 version of the flat shoe trend that all the celebrities are already sporting this fall.
If 2025 was marked by the high-vamp pump, then 2026 is all about the jazz shoe, a derby-style flat with laces that has caught the attention of both celebrities and fashion enthusiasts. This trend has gained traction thanks to Michael Rider's Celine, which showcased a variety of jazz shoes during the Resort 2026 collection launch for the French brand. These shoes were offered in red, black, and most notably, white, and have quickly become one of the most popular footwear styles of the year. For example, Gracie Abrams is often seen sporting them. However, not everyone is able to get their hands on the Celine version, as they frequently sell out. Other labels have swiftly followed Celine's lead or noticed a surge in interest for styles they already had.
Charlize Theron, for instance, chose a square-toe style from Bottega Veneta while taping an episode of SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma back in April. Naomi Watts and Lily Collins have also been spotted in similar styles, with Watts taking a stroll in Lower Manhattan and Collins at the French Open. The flat shoe trend was notably popular during Wimbledon earlier this summer, as attendees opted for these more comfortable options over their usual white heels.
(J.Crew's Verona Lace-Up Flats and Massimo Dutti's Soft Leather Lace-Up Shoe are also included in the trend.)
One particular pair that's generating its own buzz comes from H&M: their Lace-Up Ballet Flats, which have an upscale appearance but are priced at just $40. Although many sizes are sold out on H&M's website, they're more readily available at Nordstrom (a helpful tip: check Nordstrom whenever H&M items sell out). These shoes feature a subtle square toe and a short lace, making them versatile enough to pair with jeans, trousers, skirts, or dresses this fall, ensuring you'll look fashionable.
However, don't delay in purchasing them, as H&M is known for selling out quickly on their popular items. Keep scrolling to find your size.
Make sure to grab a pair before they disappear, as they likely will.
