However, with so many pairs to choose from, the options are almost dizzying, which is why we turned to a fashion insider and arbiter of cool apartments, Sydney Engelhart. The LA-based stylist and consultant has worked in the fashion world for over seven years — currently, she works with clients like Gabrielle Union and Zaya Wade with Thomas Christos Kikis and more recently she is doing creative directing and consulting work for both brands and celebrities. .
Engelhart has almost always had a fondness for flats, and the cool outfits she regularly showcases on her Instagram are a source of style inspiration. “There’s something very feminine and polite about them that doesn’t negate your comfort,” she explains. “I really believe in the power of a luxury apartment, so I’m glad they’re having a moment right now that I can really enjoy.” The flats in her arsenal are as good as the outfits she wears them with, and Engelhart describes her everyday style as fitting and classic, emphasizing that comfort is key, especially during those long days on set. “I’m petite so I sew everything myself. It makes the biggest difference in my wardrobe and really elevates every look,” she added.
