The Everyday Ballerina

A time where the hallways and sidewalks have become the new ballet

The annual ballet has finally returned to town. The resurgence of the flat trend has left everyone wanting to channel their inner ballerina, thanks to its timeless yet chic appeal. While slipping on a pair of heels can subtly add elegance or serve as the centerpiece of your outfit, the variety of options can make it hard to find the perfect fit. We're here to guide you in finding the ideal flats that will let you dance through your day.

The Miu Miu

If you truly are going for that ballerina appeal, then we suggest the Miu Miu satin ballerinas. Everyone needs their special slipper and why not have it be pink? Girls have gone wild for the Miu Miu pink ballet flats, as they have endless style options. With their beautiful satin material and pink glow, they immediately steal the show. You can wear them with jeans or a cute dress as they are the perfect statement piece. If you are not one for pinks then hop on the upcoming fall stud trend and dance to a different beat with the Miu Miu leather ballerinas. They are the perfect black flat with a little stud strap and buckle, adding a pop of personality and your own introduction into the rising world of studs. We find these flats to be the perfect option to meet your ballerina needs. However, there are other perfect and more affordable options to look at. Feet together now and leap!

The Heel

Now point that foot and raise those heels. It is time to elevate your look in both color and height. Red is the color of the fall season and these A New Day Joy Ballet Pumps are a ladylike classic that will add a pop of color to your red look. Pair these ballet heels with blue wide-leg jeans, a white top and a sweater draped on your shoulders and you will have the perfect fall look. The flat is versatile and can be worn with a button-up shirt or a little black dress and the red heels that will speak for themselves.

Chanel

For the final act, may we present the Sugar Plum Fairy herself, the Chanel Slingback! The Chanel two-toned slingbacks have been popular since the 1980s and even before that, they were pumps. These flats are the perfect look whether you are studying abroad and walking across Paris or working an internship. The Slingbacks can be paired with an elegant dress or a corporate blouse. They are elegant and timeless and truly the flat that will never go out of style. Remember the Slingback so when you one day make it big you can emphasize your look with a Slingback. Who wouldn’t want to dance at the ballet in Chanel?

We at The Edge hope that you have found your fit or have been inspired to. From Chanel to Target, you can find your perfect ballerina shoes. Remember to stand up straight and hold your head up high. Here’s to a stylist fall and we will see you at the ballet.
