Soft, textured, and easy to slip on, crochet-inspired flats by CHARLES & KEITH are emerging as the go-to shoes for a knitwear-driven season. The latest drops put comfort and craft front and center, with Crochet Mary Jane Flats and Crochet Flat Mules designed to pair as naturally with cardigans and ribbed dresses as with denim and tailoring.
Crochet Mary Jane Flats
The Crochet Mary Jane Flats take the classic Mary Jane silhouette and rework it in a knit-like, crochet-effect upper that feels light yet snug on the foot. The round toe and strap detail keep the look sweet and polished, while the textured surface adds a handmade, artisanal touch that plays well with the season’s cable knits and boucle coats.
These flats are ideal for days when boots feel too heavy but bare leather feels too sharp. Styled with socks, they lean into the “indoor-outdoor” comfort trend; worn barefoot, they read as a softer alternative to traditional ballet flats that still look considered enough for the office or dinner.
Crochet Flat Mules
The Crochet Flat Mules offer the same knit-inspired texture with an even easier slip-on construction, making them a natural choice for quick errands, coffee runs, or relaxed office looks. Their open-back design nods to classic mule shapes, while the crochet-style material gives them a cosy, lounge-meets-street attitude similar to boucle ballet flats and raffia-textured slippers seen across the market.
Pair them with wide-leg trousers, ribbed knit skirts, or soft joggers to keep the silhouette fluid and comfortable. The flat sole and flexible upper also make them a strong option for travel days when you want something soft, packable, and versatile.
Why Knit-Effect Footwear Works Now
Crochet and knit-effect shoes tap into a broader movement toward tactile, comforting materials in accessories, echoing the popularity of fuzzy bags, boucle coats, and alpaca-rich knitwear. At the same time, shapes like Mary Janes and mules keep the look familiar and trend-forward, responding to ongoing demand for flats that feel both pretty and practical.
