Ballet flats are simple and understated, can be dressed up or down and come in just about any color and print imaginable.
We love a good ballet flat for all the right reasons, because trust us, there aren’t any wrong ones.
For an everyday, go-to shoe, opt for a nude or brown ballet flat.
The color blends into your natural skin tone, so these shoes will go with virtually any outfit. Our favorite daytime look is styling boyfriend jeans with a tucked in chambray top, finished off with skin toned ballet flats. For an office look, swap the heels for flats to get maximum comfort throughout the day while still looking chic.Animal hair motifs are a big trend this season. Even trendier is an animal hair motif on a ballet flat. Choose a solid colored top or dress to wear with your leopard flats. It will draw attention to your shoes, while keeping your look assembled and classic. We love an all black outfit paired with these shoes. It is the perfect mixture of femininity and edge.
A more non-traditional take on the ballet flat is a cutout. Tending to have a pointer toe and nonexistent side near the arch of the foot, these shoes make feet appear narrower and daintier. Rough up your look by throwing a tailored blazer over a worn in tee. With its ease and comfort, you’ll want to rock this look around the clock.
Ballet flats with a petite bow on top mimic a real ballet shoe and class up your wardrobe. A pale pink shoe in faux leather looks timeless and elegant. We love these paired with ankle skinnies, a girly top and a long thin scarf.
There you have it, folks. Ballet flats are easily the closet’s most essential shoe. From a solid color to a preppy print and everything in between, ballet flats are the versatile ‘it’ shoe this season. Investing in a pair or two of your favorites will up your shoe game for summer and beyond.
