Their popularity is undoubtedly thanks, in part, to Chanel’s iconic iteration and the effortless French-girl-style connotations that come with them. But it’s also a result of how versatile ballet pumps can be. Dressed up or down, they add a polished finishing touch to any outfit— from a casual T-shirt and cropped jeans to a mini skirt— and I’ll happily claim that a more perfect spring shoe never existed. As boot season comes to an end but it’s not quite time to get your toes out in sandals— ballet flats provide the perfect transitional solution.
As consistently timeless as they are, like any fashion piece ballet flats have seen their place as the industry’s most coveted spring shoe fluctuate season on season. The last few years, for example, loafers have pipped them to the top spot. But for 2022, the ballet pump is well and truly back in the limelight, having not only been featured on plenty of catwalks but also reinvigorated by the street style set and influencers alike.
