allet flats, like almost every other trendy fashion piece in the 2000s, have made a significant comeback. For the Gen-Zs, these are fresh and on-point takes on style, but if you’re a millennial, chances are you’re stuck in a mixed wave of nostalgia. The latest renditions are nothing like the “back-in-the-day” options that might make you pass on this one. Designers and style stars are making ballet flats work exceptionally well this season to breathe life into this classic staple. From the look of things, ballet flats for women are hot, alive, and on every fashion girl’s feet. Mission accomplished.
Whatever camp you’re reporting from this season, we can all agree that these flats are comfortable, feminine, and much more flexible to style. For instance, fashion powerhouse Miu Miu brought a fresh perspective to flats with the infusion of scrunched socks, elevated workwear, and whimsical college kid coordination this season. These flats came back fun and ready to play on the center stage of fashion — just like most vintage trends.
Here are ways to style ballet flats to revive the Y2K style vibe…
