This summer, the only shoes you\u2019ll want to slip into are ballet flats. Easy on the feet and effortlessly chic, they\u2019re having a major fashion<\/a> moment – and we\u2019re not mad about it.<\/p>\n

Forget what you remember from the early 2000s. Today\u2019s ballet flats are cooler, comfier, and way more versatile.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re headed to the office, grabbing brunch, or packing for a weekend away by the coast, they\u2019re the perfect finishing accessory that keeps your look polished without trying too hard.<\/p>\n

Designers are fully on board too. From high-end labels like Miu Miu and The Row to high street<\/a> favourites like Arket<\/a>, COS, and Mango, everyone\u2019s offering their take.<\/p>\n

The Row\u2019s Elastic Leather Ballet Flats<\/a> are stylish but will set you back \u00a3800. We\u2019ve listed far more affordable options below.<\/p>\n

Pair classic black leather pumps with wide-leg trousers for quiet luxury vibes, or opt for mesh, metallics or satin to add a stylish twist to your summer dresses.<\/p>\n

The best part is you don\u2019t have to choose between comfort and style. With ballet flats, you get both.<\/p>\n

So, whether you’re a minimalist, a maximalist, or somewhere in between, consider this your sign: ballet flats are back, and they\u2019re here to stay.<\/p>\n
