Ballet flats – 2024 spring-summer season trend

Everything about this season’s trending shoes.

03 Jun 2024

Ballet flats are not a novelty in the wardrobe. This summer, designers suggest wearing not only traditional models but also those made of mesh or studded with rhinestones. Their reinterpretations in many variations can evoke both delight and complete denial.

Pointed-Toe flats

Pointy-toed flats will become a great substitute for heeled pumps in everyday outfits. They look harmonious with both pantsuits and dresses or jeans. The color choice is solely up to you – bright, animalistic, or restrained ones made of smooth leather.

Ballet flats with straps

“Mary Jane” flats have firmly established themselves in the wardrobes of influencers. And it happened for a reason. The favorite pair and the starting model in this trend were Miu Miu shoes.

A strap serves two functions at once: decorative and practical. It secures the foot, providing comfort while walking, and also makes the look more cohesive. If the fastened option is uncomfortable or you want to add a touch of casualness, feel free to leave the strap in its original form.

Satin flats

Satin shoes are at the peak of popularity in the 2024 spring and summer. Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons are responsible for this trend, bringing ‘candy’ shades to the runway. Following them, almost all brands have adopted the trend. Satin ballet flats can be found at Maison Margiela in the form of their iconic Tabi, the cutest ones with bows at Miu Miu, and minimalist ones at The Row.

Mesh flats

Alaïa was the first to create mesh ballet flats. They instantly became favorites among influencers. At this time, similar models can be found in almost every mass-market brand.

Such shoes can be combined with absolutely everything: from 60s-style dresses and mini-skirts to formal suits. The most courageous ones wear mesh ballet flats with bright socks. One thing remains unchanged – this type of footwear will become the highlight of any outfit.

Rhinestone Flats

And once again, Alaïa has captivated the minds of fashion influencers. This time, they came up with sparkling ballet flats. The rhinestone flats went through the entire journey from rejection to acceptance and have firmly settled in wardrobes, giving a festive look to simple outfits such as jeans with a linen shirt or silk skirts with an oversized T-shirt.
