24 of the best closed in shoes in 2025
We’re about to enter closed-in shoe season, and I swear, when it happens (every year), we don’t know where to begin with what styles to add to our wardrobe. Well, this year we’ve learned our lesson and are getting a head start by curating the best flats for winter: ballet flats, loafers, Mary Janes, and mules. We want to help you find the right closed-in shoes for the office and work or create a chic French-girl weekend vibe.
The good news is that it feels like this season there are so many more options to choose from. However, we also know that this can feel overwhelming, so we’ve narrowed it down to our favourite eight styles in each category. Whether you prefer your loafers with texture or smooth leather, your Mary Janes with adornments or a classic look, we hope to help you find exactly what you’re looking for, something that will complement and evolve your wardrobe and personal style.
Eight Chic and Classic Loafers
She loves a bit of structure and an injection of seriousness, but it's all about the styling.
Eight French Girl Ballet Flats
An essential in our closed in shoe wardrobe, the ballet flat lets us lean into our elegant French girl dreams.
Eight Mary-Janes that Lean in the Details
She's a little more lady like, or just wants to add a bit more detail and have her shoe do some talking.
Mules
Business up front but with the casualness of being about to slide them on, we love a slide on mule and they make the perfect closed in shoe addition for transeasonal dressing.
