I Lived in Leather Mary Janes Last Summer—This Is the Flat-Shoe Trend I’m Stealing From Kendall This Year
Pony-hair ballet flats retain all of the styling ease of their smooth leather counterparts, but with a twist. Discover how Kendall Jenner is already wearing hers.


Last summer, leather Mary Janes were practically glued to my feet.
Caught up in the flat-shoe frenzy, I embraced the trend wholeheartedly, acquiring a couple of pairs and rotating them with gusto. From office hours to after hours, they were always reliably chic. But this summer, I’m ready for something new, and thanks to Kendall Jenner, I’ve found my new favourite flats for 2025.
Jenner was spotted wearing tailored trousers, a crisp white T-shirt and a rich butterscotch-coloured jacket, but the real talking point of her pre-Met Gala look was her pony-hair ballet flats. Subtle and luxurious with just the right amount of character, they elevated her outfit in that effortless fashion-insider way she has mastered.
Where leather Mary Janes offer classic polish, pony-hair ballet flats bring a fresh energy, infusing outfits with texture, personality and a playful edge. They’re still understated enough to wear every day, but offer a tactile richness that makes them feel far more directional. And although they're called "pony hair", the furry finish is actually crafted from cow hide or synthetic materials, and options across the market range from leather pairs to lookalike synthetic alternatives.
If you’re ready to add something new to your summer footwear roster, the pony-hair ballet flat is the pair to invest in. Whether you’re drawn to classic black like Kendall or want to lean into the trend with animal prints and bold textures, there’s a version for every taste—and plenty of options on the high street right now.
