One thing I can always count on is the ballet flat. It remains a constant throughout each season. This summer, we spotted the Parisian footwear paired with midi skirts and loose linen trousers. Now, for fall, French women have continued their love affair with the ballet flat, pairing it with this classic denim—the straight-leg jean. With chilly weather on the forecast, we’re starting to see the return of satin, suede, and patent leather.
Very ‘90s and very chic—this French woman-approved look is easy to replicate. Scroll for some stellar style inspiration. Spoiler: suede jackets, striped shirts, and elevated basics are the way to go. I’ve included some standout flats from Madewell and J.Crew. Denim-wise, I've added some editor-favorites from Levi’s, Paige, AG, and Banana Republic. Shop the romantic duo with these Parisian-chic ballet flats and jeans.
