Fun fact about the biggest flat-shoe trend of 2026: It has the distinction of being highly specific, because it’s also a particular color. The trend is white leather oxford flats, and it’s quickly becoming a celebrity favorite. The internet certainly took notice when Charlize Theron wore white oxford flats in NYC a few weeks ago, and the latest example is Gracie Abrams, who shared a post that prominently featured the shoe trend on her Instagram account over the weekend.

If you’re wondering what to wear with white oxford flats, the good news is that they look chic with a great many things, but if you want to look especially cool and “in” at this very moment, I strongly advise taking a cue from Abrams and pairing them with red jeans (and she did) or pants. There’s something about the combination of red and white that’s just so fresh, unexpected, and eye-catching, classic tho it may be. Not only that, it’s a combination that’s appropriate year-round, whether summer or winter.
