ESSENTIAL SUMMER SHOES: BALLET FLATS
Essential Summer Shoes:
Ballet Flats
Versatile, chic, and oh-so-comfortable, ballet flats are a trans-seasonal staple for good reason. Whether you’re looking to elevate a weekend look or add a cosy finish to your casual ensemble, there is a pair for everyone.
Classic Mary Janes
Featuring distinctive buckled straps across the vamps, Mary Janes are emblematic of all that is feminine and chic — while also being versatile enough for any occasion. Whether you opt for the cream crochet and leather pair, flirty lace and mesh flats, or classic checkered Mary Janes, get playful with your fashion choices. Match your pick with white knee socks to create a preppy effect.
Stylish Slingbacks
Perfect for sunny spring days and balmy summer nights, ballerinas with adjustable slingback straps offer the same secure fit of classic flats with added ease of wear. Complete your capsule wardrobe with the timeless black slingback Mary Jane flats, which are made to be worn on repeat. If you are feeling experimental, slip on the whimsical embellished-bow mesh ballerinas or beaded chain-link terry cloth & grosgrain Mary Janes, and let them shine as the star of your outfit.
Simply Sophisticated
Equal parts stylish and comfortable, ballerina flats are a wardrobe essential that completes office ensembles and dressier outfits alike. When in doubt, reach for the rounded square-toe bow ballerinas or Gabine leather ballerinas to add a touch of sophistication to your look. Otherwise, stay true to the roots of balletcore and opt for canvas ballerina flats, which come with tie-around straps and pronounced square-toes that are a nod to pointe shoes.
All In The Details
Ballet flats come in a variety of styles, but the details are where things get interesting. The open-back design of the bow slip-on flats makes wearing them a breeze, while the delicate ruching on the bow ruched slingback flats gives them a sweet and delicate character. For those looking to make a bold style statement, look to the houndstooth Mary Jane flats, which feature bead-embellished straps and an eye-catching printed finish.
