Ballet Pumps

How to style this season's ballet flats

In an era that champions wear-forever staples every woman should have at least one pair of ballet flats in her wardrobe.

The best way to put them on display is to team with capri style trousers or cropped jeans that show some ankle - Choose a pair that finish somewhere between the top of your ankle, or a couple of inches above.

If you favour flared silhouettes, play close attention to your hemline – make sure they graze just above the top part of your foot to prevent pooling. Mini skirts and ballet flats are a playful option, while midi lengths strike just the right balance of looking sophisticated and feminine.

Ballet flats also look great teamed with a simple A-line mini à la Kate Moss in the '90s, or you can style them with a sheer pencil skirt or silky slip dress.
