These Classic Flats Have Earned Themselves Icon Status—Now They're Finally Back in Stock
Trends come and go, but there’s one standout shoe style of the summer that has truly piqued our interest. We’ve spotted it all over the best dressed feet we know, and it has gone straight to the top of our wishlist. All that and we’re not even halfway through the summer yet a surefire sign of big things to come.

You’ll probably be unsurprised to hear that the shoes in question come from luxury, Olsen twins owned label The Row. After all, their track record for creating the most coveted shoes is impressive to say the least. Lest we forget those zip-front boots, flatform flip-flops and ubiquitous fisherman sandals that remain on most-wanted lists years after their release. Fashion’s latest The Row obsession, however, comes in the form of a dainty ballet pump—basically cementing the return of the millennial flats, in case you were wondering. As with most Row pieces, their beauty is in their simplicity: They feature a barely there sole and buttery-soft leather in a range of muted colours, with a simple elastic strap over the top of the foot to give a Mary Jane esque finish. Comfy and timeless—it’s a win-win.
The Row’s ballet flats have in fact been a fixture in its collections for a while now, but as experts in spotting when a cult buy is really gaining traction, we can almost certainly confirm that you’ll be able to spot them out on your commute even more. Queen of cool, minimalist style Kendall Jenner has been spotted in the classic black pair recently. And a little closer to home, Who What Wear columnist and all-round tastemaker Monikh owns the burgundy iteration. Fashion has spoken.

If history is to be learned from, these delicate flats will no doubt sell out the moment you find a pair you adore. For now, though, they’re miraculously still in stock in most sizes, and we’ve linked the various colours and some more of The Row’s best flats below. Keep scrolling to shop.
