In years gone by, I used to count down the days until sandal season arrived. Eager to embrace the freedom of lightweight, barely-there shoes, the fleeting months each year when sandals reign supreme are my favourite. This year however, a new spring shoe has become the object of my affection, and in my opinion, it's actually far more versatile than the strappy sandals I've loved before.
Of course, I'm talking about the enduring ballet flats trend. Offering the same flat-footed comfort as its sandal sisters, ballet flats pull ahead by adding the polish and finesse to an outfit that strappy sandals can't compete with. With a deep love for the trending shoe style, I've made it my mission to track down some of the best on the market. I've consulted with my colleagues in theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing UK office and spent many an hour online gathering information. My research led me to Reformation's Bethany Ballet Flats.
At £268 (or £298 for the rhinestone-studded pair) the rounded-toe flats come in nine different styles spanning colour and fabric variations, including a metallic silver colourway (as styled by India Cardona above), a deep merlot pair, black and white mesh styles and stud-embellished pairs. With a design that covers the toes and a thick strap to secure them, these neat slippers are the exact shape that I find most comfortable and wearable.
Whilst I'll be getting my wear out of these during the summer months too, the closed-toe shape allows for comfortable springtime styling that can hold up against the cooler climes and frequent showers that spring so often brings. Hitting all of my markers for a great spring/summer shoe, read on to shop Reformation's Bethany ballet flats.
