The Coolest Dressers Know It's All in the Details—This Specific Shoe Trend Makes White Dresses Look Chicest
Not flip-flops, not Mary Janes—Zendaya elevated her pretty white dress with the cool shoe trend fashion people adore.
It's no secret that it can be the smallest styling details that can elevate an outfit from perfectly nice to worth writing home about. Swap a simple leather belt for one of this season's medallion styles, and I'm interested. Replace a classic white tank with a layered Y2K-inspired version, and I'll take note. But when it comes to elevating a pretty white dress, there's one subtle styling trick I keep coming back to: skipping predictable ballet flats in favour of a pair of split-toe Tabis.
Reminding me why this combination works so well, Zendaya stepped out in London this weekend wearing a pretty white dress anchored by the fashion person's favourite divisive flat. Instantly recognisable thanks to its signature split-toe silhouette, Maison Margiela's Tabi ballet flats bring a cool, subversive energy that offsets the sweetness of a white dress in a way few other shoe trends can.
Keeping the rest of her look understated, Zendaya finished the outfit with a partially unbuttoned cardigan and a brown bandana tied around her head. Relaxed, comfortable yet elevated, I'll be saving this to my moodboard for summers to come.
Always happy to welcome another chic flat into my rotation, scroll on to shop the Tabi ballet flats I'm loving right now.
