The 15 best ballet flats that you can rely on to make every outfit look chic

Nov 16, 2024 9:46 PM

　　Fashion trends come and go, and we’ve seen a whole host of shoe styles go in and out of style, only before coming back once more. And for 2024, thanks to the ever-popular Chanel ballet flats and Miu Miu ballet flats with straps, the comfy shoes are back in the spotlight – and our feet are very okay with it.

　　While we can’t sleep on the power of a sky-high stiletto or platform heel, this timeless shoe is the antidote to sore ankles and blistered heels. Providing sophistication and comfort, it’s a style that makes a statement without sacrificing practicality or walkability – taking you from the school run to after-work drinks with ease.

　　For the past couple of years, ballet flats’ rising popularity has been slowly but surely transitioning the style from a goes-around-comes-around trend to a solid wardrobe staple. The best part of the ballet pump is how versatile it is, you can pair it with just about everything; oversized blazers, dresses, skirts and so much more.

　　Celebs such as Rihanna, Alexa Chung and Emily Ratajkowski have been strutting about in the chic French girl staple with everything from bright red dresses to oversized jumpers. What used to be a boring flat shoe has been updated with modern shapes (we’re partial to the square-toe), unexpected textures, bold colours and embellishment.
