Ballet flats are the perfect day to evening option for any outfit. Synonymous with the mid ‘40s aesthetic, they’re the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

As a closet staple, this versatile footwear option comes in a myriad of materials including the Mary Jane style, double denim, leather, mesh and more.

From pointed-toe styles toe to colorful hues and embellishments, look to Alaïa and Khaite for seamless designs to complement a pair of denims, trousers and outfits for understated elegance.

These shoes are a type of footwear inspired by the shoes worn by dancers. They are characterized by their thin, flexible soles and their minimalistic design, often resembling pointe shoes but with more practical features for everyday wear.

Styling Tips

Casual Looks

Pair them with skinny jeans or leggings and a casual top for a chic, everyday look.

Office Wear
