How the girls are styling ballet flats in NYC

1. Yoga-Ready

A functional and relaxed look. She’s wearing black ballet flats with fun baby pink socks. She even paired them with full-length black leggings and her yoga sports top. With her yoga mat ready to go, we love the stylish convenience of this entire look.

2. Casual Denim with a Leather Jacket

Another take on black flats, this time worn with oversized, light washed loose-fit jeans and a slightly cropped leather jacket. It’s an easy outfit formula: denim, shades, leather, flats. No-fuss, but still pulled together.

3. Matching Set with a Pop of Blue

We are obsessed with this monochrome look. Here, we spotted the cutest white cargo set; both jacket and pants, paired with baby blue satin ballet flats. The same shade of her headphones, which adds a nice detail without trying too hard. The look feels clean, but still personal.

4. Printed Dress with Bold Red Flats

A printed cheetah dress paired with bright red ballet flats. The mix adds contrast, and it works. No extra accessories, just a strong dress and a bold shoe. A good example of how to make ballet flats feel less preppy and more fashion-forward.

The return of ballet flats isn’t about trends, it’s about ease. These outfits show how the shoe can work across different styles, from sporty to dressed-up. The key is keeping everything else simple and letting the flats do their part.
