Ballet flats were everywhere in 2023, and they're sticking around for 2024. As we head into spring, I got to thinking about outfit ideas for different ways to style these It shoes for the new season. I wanted to find outfits that feel elevated and are versatile enough to go from the office to brunch to a travel day. After hours of scouring the Instagram accounts of my favorite ballet flats loving content creators, I found five chic ballet flats outfits I'm telling everyone about.
Keep scrolling to see the looks that made my list.
Baby-Doll Dress + Gold Jewelry
It doesn't get more quiet luxury than this. Pick your favorite A-line or baby-doll frock (I highly recommend opting for white), dress the look up with pretty gold jewelry, add your favorite minimal ballet flats, finish with the perfect pair of sunnies, and you're good to go. I'm planning to re-create this look for a weekend brunch.
Baseball Cap + Sweater + Tote
I love this low-key look for a travel day or casual weekend. With the right blazer or jacket, plus a little jewelry, you could dress this outfit up for a lunch meeting or a casual day at the office. Not only is this outfit made up of all of my favorite basics, but I also love how simple yet chic it is.
Classic Trousers + White Tee + Denim Jacket
Filing this under "easy outfits to wear to the office in the spring." The trousers make the look a little more business casual, and the blazer-like shape of the denim jacket takes everything up a notch. I love how the look above is styled with a pearl necklace.
Minimalist Dress + Cardigan + Oval Sunnies
Out of all of these stellar ballet flats outfits, this is the one I'm most excited to re-create. I love the simple elegance, and the look has a French-girl vibe that I'm just obsessed with right now. Plus, the white dress topped with a cardigan just screams springtime.
Trench Coat + Denim + Crew-Neck Shirt + Leather Belt
It doesn't get more springtime chic than a great trench coat. What I love about this look is that it's low effort yet looks polished and put-together. Plus, it works for basically any occasion. Running errands? Check. Grabbing coffee with a friend? Check. Popping into your office for a few hours? Check.
