Something super surprising that’s been missing from my wardrobe was a pair of classic black flats. I have nearly every other color under the sun, but for some reason, plain black just wasn’t one of them! I decided to start 2016 off with a new pair to help top off my well-rounded wardrobe. I just love a good Chanel flat. They’re so chic and comfortable, easy to pack for travel, and can be worn for work or play. I personally prefer the look of the patent styles because they scuff less easily than lambskin and look nicer longer.
With that said, there are a bunch of other chic black flats out there that don’t cost a fortune. A few of my favorites right now include this simple scalloped pair, these strappy flats, this pair of pointy-toe patents, and these perfectly perfect ballet flats.

I love those flats and couldn’t agree with you more. They can be used in so many situations and are super easy to throw into your luggage. Such a great investment on your part, they definitely elevate this already classy/chic look. Very pretty photos!
