Microtrends. These days, it feels like there's a new one every time we open our social media apps. Some come and go with the changing of the seasons (remember Tomato Girl Summer?), but every so often there's an up-and-coming style that sticks around for a while. The latest microtrend that's quite literally catching our eyes is rhinestone flats—and they're anything but childish.

While crystal embellished shoes are far from new, comfortable flats accented by teeny-tiny gems have quickly become the look of fall. They come in the form of the tried-and-true ballet silhouette, the ladylike Mary-Jane, trendy mesh shoes, and now even loafers are getting the sparkly treatment. See for yourself: The studded style is hard to resist, and with the holiday season fast approaching, we couldn't suggest a better dress shoe to strut around in at festive parties and gatherings.

Ahead, the best rhinestone flats to add your shoe collection now.
