Offering comfort, ease, and an extra dose of elegance to any outfit, these everyday styles are still our go-to shoes for many occasions. They’re perfect for wearing all day and for dressing down an evening look at night—just add a pair of sheer socks or tights. And designers have not been shy about riffing on the silhouette, particularly since the studded Alaïa mania took hold a few seasons ago.



Now, we’re seeing stylish and versatile ballet flats in all shapes and sizes. Our favorites range from the ultra classic—simple, leather ballet flats with a sweet little bow—to sleek, slipper styles, and Mary Jane flats . Trickling down from the runways we’re also seeing flats with a bit of extra flash, namely in the form of studded, punk details and metallic leather.
