Ballet flats are back and they are just as simple as ever. If you want to stock up on a few cute ballet flats before fall hits, we’ve rounded up a few places you can find these comfortable flats.
I am not one to swoon over flats (I’m more of a platform girl), but these flats are darling enough to make me change my sky-scrapper heeled ways. These flats are vintage from the 1950-’60s and quite similar to the style that the graceful Audrey Hepburn donned. Pair these shoes with a pair of black skinnies or sleek, high-waisted, dark jeans. On top, wear minimal jewelry (small earring studs will do), and a chunky white sweater. Priced at $36.92 from Etsy shop FiregypsyVintage.
These are one of the more classically simple ballet flats on the list. While they may not be sexy, they would look totally cute with a light gray frilly pair of socks, a navy pleated mini skirt, and a sheer gray collared shirt. From ThredUp and priced at $27.99.
3. Vintage Italian Flats
I love these vintage flats — they look so attractive and classy. I’d pair these low-heeled shoes with a plaid wool skirt, thick tights, and a fitted, light blue sweater to pull together the perfectly sensible Thanksgiving day outfit (yes, I’m thinking ahead). From Etsy shop AllycatAttic, priced at $38.
You better jump on these flats before the weather cools too much so you can show of their amazing laces. This darling flat comes in three colors: brown, black, and tan. Priced at $88 from Free People. Pair this flat with a midi-skirt, and a loose fitting top for an effortlessly flowing outfit.
5. Billy Ella Shimmered Flats
These flats are the perfect choice if you want to add a little bit of flair to a solid-colored dress. Wear them all season long to cocktail parties to standout (in a good way). Priced at $158 from Anthropologie.
