How to Wear Ballet Flats Absolutely Everywhere This Spring
Every season has its stand-out shoe trends, but the classic ballet flat never strays far from the fashion consciousness-they never go out of style. Maybe it's because you can wear them with virtually anything-quirky, casual, or dressy looks-and they still seem to look right. If you don't have a pair, now's the time to catch up. You'll wear them everywhere...
On the Clock...
For 9-to-5 professionalism, stick to sharp silhouettes that don't require the extra height of a heel-above-the-knee A-line skirts actually look better with a lower heel than something sky-high. Pair it with a double-breasted notch collar blazer and a sleek turtleneck.

Late Night/Date Night...
A little black dress can take you through every sort of date or late night. For a silhouette with eye-catching details or a unique shape, classic flats are an easy addition-and a smart one if there's going to be lots of dancing.

Out and About...
On the weekend, wear timeless ballet flats with equally classic pieces-just add a twist. Think: deconstructed denim, a bell-sleeved ribbed knit, and a bag silhouette that stands out in a sea of satchels and cross-bodies.
