ALDO

The Denivin flats are an ultra-chic take on the traditional ballet flat, featuring an elongated pointed toe design. It’s giving major ballerina vibes with the slingback silhouette, and is the perfect shoe to take you from work to happy hour this spring.  

Dolce Vita

The brand’s Reyes Ballet Flats Black Leather are right on-trend for spring. Spotlighting a classic ballet flat design with buckle detailing, these vintage-inspired shoes come in multiple color options and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. We love the idea of pairing them with baggy jeans for a more laid-back look, or a satin skirt for a night out. 

Call It Spring

Call It Spring’s Sweety flats offer a two-tone take on the beloved ballet flat trend. The cute almond-toe design with bow detailing makes these the perfect fit for elevating any spring look. Plus, they’re crafted with the brand’s B.E.D Foam™ Comfort Technology for all-day wear. 

Charles & Keith

The Tiggy Mesh Two-Tone Ballet Sneakers from Charles & Keith are a cross between a flat and a sneaker, making them a sporty addition to your ballet flat collection. Featuring a hybrid style that’s both chic and comfortable, these shoes offer a streamlined yet elongated silhouette that will instantly take your fit to a whole new edgy level. 

Holt Renfrew

The ALAÏA Fishnet Ballet Flats, available at Holt Renfrew, have been a top-trending style for years now–and still going strong. Spotlighting glossy patent leather, the breathable design and delicate mesh detailing of these shoes strike the perfect balance between statement and wearability. Equal parts elevated and effortless, we love how these flats add a subtle edge to any look while remaining incredibly versatile.

Reformation

The Pillar Flat from Reformation brings a romantic, feminine touch to everyday dressing with its pointed toe and delicate crochet detailing. Highlighting a charming yet polished design, it’s the perfect “picnic-in-the-park” flat for spring—ideal for roaming the city while delivering an effortlessly chic, laid-back feel.

Adidas 

We’ve had our eyes on these Adidas Taekwondo Mei Shoes (a TikTok-viral silhouette, no less) for a while now. With their Y2K-inspired, sporty-chic appeal, they bring a cool, off-duty edge to any look. Plus, they’re the kind of statement flat that instantly elevates even the most minimal outfit.

ALDO

Bridal season is well underway, and what better way to celebrate than with a comfortably chic pair of Clementinne shoes from ALDO? Whether you’re trying the knot or not, these ballet flats are perfect for any occasion. They feature a small, block heel, closed, almond-toe design, and are sure to be a must-add to any spring wardrobe! 

Holt Renfrew

The Row’s Stella Shearling-Lined Leather Slippers, available at Holt Renfrew, are a classic ballet flat we love as a splurge-worthy “treat yourself” moment. Made with smooth leather, featuring an oval toe, they’re also lined in soft shearling to ensure you stay cozy-chic whenever, wherever.

White Fox Boutique

The Tayla Ballet Flats Chocolate Faux Suede from White Fox Boutique comes in a classic brown colorway that’s currently trending for spring. Featuring a timeless closed round toe, a delicate strap across the vamp with an adjustable gold buckle, we’re obsessed with its versatility. These are perfect for everyday wear! 

Coach

The lace-up ballet flat trend is coming in strong this season, and we’re especially loving Coach’s modern take on this viral look. The Lace-Up Soft Ballet Flat is the ideal “it” girl shoe of spring with its bold statement-making leather lace-up design and metallic leather colorway. 

H&M

These Twist-Detail Flats from H&M feature a twisted, adjustable ankle strap finished with a metal chain and spring ring clasp, adding a subtle statement to an otherwise minimal silhouette. The rounded-toe design also softens the overall look, giving it a classic feel that pairs effortlessly with everything from tailored pieces to flowy spring dresses.
