A look for every occasion

Ballet flats come in a variety of materials and finishes to suit every occasion.

For night

Be seen in be-jewelled ballerinas and metallics. Skin prints add sparkle and texture and satins add sheen. Hepburn! Suede is rich and luxurious.

For work

Slip on a sleek pair of ballet flats with your tailored suit, cuffed capri or knee-length skirt, sticking to slippers in clean styles and luxurious, rich fabrics.

A patent finish looks both professional and polished at work.

For play

On the weekends celebrate colour, patterns and texture wearing ballets.

Bows, buckles and heavy stitching also add interest.

How to wear ballet flats

Unlike heels, the ballet flat isn't a failsafe flatterer. This heel free shoe has the potential to shrink and squash your frame when paired with the wrong ensemble.

So here are a few secrets when it comes to wearing ballet flats.

The first is to show some skin. Which is why ballerina styles look great with capri pants, shorts, leggings, knee length skirts and dresses finishing around the knee.

Another is to keep your your silhouette lean. Straight or boot-cut trousers, a-line or pencil skirts, and slender cropped pants help to lengthen your body which is important when wearing flats.

And finally wear ballet flats in colours that match your outfit to create a seamless line, which can give the illusion of height.
