You know that feeling where you’re a little bored of your shoe rotation? We’ve got our white sneakers, our trusted chunky loafers, and our going-out booties, but every now and then a change can be a good thing. Luckily, there’s a new shoe on the scene that’s ready to live on our feet all spring long: The ballet flat is back.
We all had our emotional-support pair of flats back in the early 2000s that we wore with every skirt, skort, and gauchos we could get our hands on (and that were probably the smelliest shoes you’ve ever owned). You didn’t find your perfect pair of everyday flats, they found you.
While they’re currently trending, ballet flats can also be considered a true wardrobe classic. They’re versatile enough to be worn with anything, and comfortable enough that they can accompany you through even the longest of days. They’re the perfect addition to your spring wardrobe, but can be worn year-round to elevate whatever you pair them with.
The only question left is which ballet flat you’ll choose as your companion this spring. Metallics, fun textures, all the colors of the rainbow—the choice is yours, but it won’t be an easy one.
