KEY TRENDS
FOR THE AUTUMN/WINTER 2023 SEASON
The fact that ballet flats are experiencing a true renaissance in fashion is now common knowledge, but what’s additionally worth noting—
especially this season—is the ever-expanding range of styling possibilities where these models take center stage.
Taking advantage of the fact that the weather is still on our side, we decided to present you with several looks that you simply can’t ignore this autumn.
See for yourself and choose your dream pair of iconic ballet flats now!
POINTED-TOE BALLET FLATS:
FROM THE RUNWAY TO THE STREET
Although just a few years ago they were considered mainly an alternative to high heels for elevating only elegant outfits, today the biggest influencers and trendsetters are wearing them with everyday casual pieces. Pointed-toe ballet flats are making a major comeback this season and are definitely our number one choice. Discover our top picks.
If, like us, you love timeless design, take a closer look at models by Victoria Beckham, Saint Laurent, Ferragamo and Proenza Schouler. The ballet flats from the British designer feature a practical adjustable strap, while the French fashion house’s pair is adorned with a decorative logo bow. We were drawn to the Italian brand’s offering thanks to its classic creamy shade—one of our all-time favorites—while the American label’s design stands out with its minimalist silhouette. Which one will make it to your wardrobe?
WASP WAIST
If you’re looking for the perfect shoes for autumn that are as stylish as they are comfortable, you’re in the right place. This season, Mary-Jane style ballet flats will also reign supreme on the streets of the world’s biggest fashion capitals, and we can’t hide just how much this trend excites us. These particular models are the perfect everyday solution—not only do they impress with their looks (as you’ll soon see), but they also guarantee all-day comfort. Which brands should you turn to for your favorite pair?
We especially love the selections from Jacquemus, Jimmy Choo, Wandler and JW Anderson. While the designs from the first two brands will especially delight fans of timeless looks, lovers of extravagance can indulge in a bit of fun by choosing ballet flats with a not-so-standard strap. A model featuring a furry accent will look fantastic paired with a sweater of similar texture, while the one with a strap adorned with metal handles and a padlock-shaped application will be perfect for styling with accessories in a matching color.
BALLET FLATS WITH EYE-CATCHING DETAILS:
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS
Extravagant ballet flats are a must-have in the wardrobes of those women who plan to experiment with their style this season. Designs adorned with sparkling crystals, glitter, or metallic finishes are considered some of the most coveted shoes of 2023, so if you want to add character to your autumn looks, these are the pieces to reach for.
Designs resembling true works of art are a specialty of brands such as Alaïa, Jil Sander, JW ANDERSON and Jimmy Choo. And while it is clear that the most trendsetters dream of the French fashion house’s creations, we also recommend keeping an eye on the remaining three brands. Ballet flats adorned with sparkling crystals—from the Italian brand and from the house led by Jonathan Anderson—are sure to turn heads, while charming glitter-covered designs will add an unmatched girlish nonchalance to your ensembles.
