BALLET FLATS ARE HAVING A MOMENT – HERE ARE 3 WAYS TO WEAR THEM

Monochrome doesn’t always get the love it deserves in 2025, but we’re here to tell you that it matters. For the girlies who like their 'fits sans colour, this is the only look you need. Start with another revival moment AKA capri pants, and pair them with an off-the-shoulder top (another big trend this season). Break up all the black with ivory ballet flats and a shoulder bag to channel off-duty dancer in the best way possible.

Love colour? You’ll love this. The star of the show is the ballet flats: fire-engine red, a lattice design and another reference to school days with a jelly texture. Let them do the talking and pair them with a minimalist top. Go big with wide-leg jeans and aviator sunnies for added cool.

It’s worth saying that PUMA has had us in a chokehold recently. If it isn’t the Mostros, it’s the Speedact OGs, and this is another iteration we can’t get enough of. The Speedcat ballet flats are a major move if you want that girly-sports mash-up. Team yours with an oversized football tee and bring the contrast with babydoll shorts and a tough-girl leather jacket – high-low dressing at its best.
