Ballet flats had their moment in the sun in the noughties. Whether it was girlie or grunge, ballet flats were the wear-everywhere shoe - just ask Kate Moss. While reminiscing on the ballet flat-filled days of yore may not have you enthusiastically adding to cart, the Gen Z-approved way of wearing the trend might just change your mind. Revamped for the renaissance, new-season ballet flats are sleek and sophisticated while still maintaining their laid-back appeal. A pared-back pair in black fits nicely into every capsule wardrobe thanks to their versatility, however brighter hues or unconventional shapes - including Maison Margiela's on-the-nose interpretation of a pointe shoe - add interest to a well-known silhouette.
Celebrities have been hopping on the ballet flat bandwagon, with Sophia Richie Grainge using them to enhance her 'quiet luxury' aesthetic; Jennifer Lawrence wearing them on off-duty days; and Hailey Bieber teaming hers with ruffled ankle socks. Explore MOJEH's picks in the gallery below.
