As summer approaches, it’s time to transition our wardrobes from cooler to warmer weather essentials. While knitwear and outer layers are being packed away, it’s the moment to replace heavy footwear with more breathable options, including flip-flops, classic sandals, loafers, and notably, the soft ballet flat.

Vogue’s Top Picks for Soft Ballet Flats:

The soft ballet flat is a modern blend of the traditional ballerina flat and the Mary Jane style. This footwear option is distinguished by its light, flexible construction and materials such as leather and satin, along with its sleek, low-profile design. Its versatility makes it a must-have addition for any seasonal wardrobe, with choices available across various styles and price ranges.

For a chic pairing, consider pointed-toe variations from brands like Le Monde Beryl or Madewell, which work beautifully with delicate lace or floral dresses. If you’re ready to make a statement with higher-end options, Miu Miu and The Row offer sophisticated styles that promise longevity. Ensure a snug fit with choices from Proenza Schouler or Paris/Texas; these flats can effortlessly accompany everything from white jeans and flowing tops to coordinated linen outfits.
