Ballet flats, a must-have
Today, ballet flats are still stirring debate, fuelling passions, and filling column inches. True icons of quiet luxury, these shoes have embodied a version of chic for several seasons now.
Embellished with rhinestones, adorned with straps or ribbons, crafted in mesh or delicately perforated leather, ballet flats are endlessly reinventing themselves. With a growing variety of styles and colours, they’re even winning over the most skeptical among us. Here’s a selection of the cutest designs the Fall season.
Which pair for Fall?
Black leather ballet flats
Deeply rooted in the indie sleaze aesthetic, black leather ballet flats are everywhere. And for good reason! Even the most fashion-forward it-girls, like Kaia Gerber and Kendall Jenner, have embraced the aesthetic. As for brands, the iconic house Repetto stays true to the understated elegance of its Camille pair with a subtle low heel. Meanwhile, Miista offers a bold reinterpretation with its hybrid sneakerina in distressed leather.
Openwork ballet flats
Mesh or fishnet ballet flats breathe new life into the classic shoes. Among the openwork mush-have of this season are the iconic design by Alaïa, Mango’s white mesh version embellished with rhinestones and a ruched leather lace-up style imagined by Lanvin.
Bold, iconic ballet flats
A modern version with square toe and golden ankle strap at Jil Sander, sequinned embellishments at Chanel… Each pair boldly expresses the DNA of its house, all the while remaining true to the timeless essence of the classic ballet flat. Our absolute favorite? Miu Miu’s rock-inspired take with its now-iconic leather straps and gingham ribbons.
