Ballet flats for spring? Groundbreaking, I know. But the classic shoe remains a favorite of fashion It Girls for a good reason. They’re elegant, comfortable, and can add a bit of chic femininity to any outfit. Instantly elevate your favorite jeans and t-shirt with the ballet slippers below.
These M.Gemi Una flats feel a touch more sophisticated and special than a lot of other pairs. I love the vamp that comes a little higher up on the foot, the squared-off toe, and the delicately criss-crossed straps. And the pale pink putty color is a different kind of neutral, a little more elevated than beige. It’s a whole lot of look for under $300! This Loeffler Randall pair is a very literal take on
Right now, I’m really into the ballet slipper/Mary Jane combo. A strap brings an extra layer of interest to the shoe. Everlane’s Day Mary Jane is a dead ringer for the Row’s cult-favorite shoe at a fraction of the price. And it’lll be a relief during hotter days. J.Crew’s super femme white flat has double bows on their straps, which feels Miu Miu adjacent. I love the rich burgundy shade and silver buckle of these Le Monde Beryl flats, which can easily be carried through into spring.
Ballet flats are such a craze at the moment that there’s really something for everyone. You can think beyond the usual black leather. I’m obsessed with these Anthropologie woven macrame flats, complete with pretty rosettes. These mesh leopard print Dolce Vita shoes might sound like a lot, but it’s surprisingly subtle when it’s actually on your foot. Larroude’s black suede pair is decked with sparkly gold beads and buttons for a true statement.
