Yes, Ballet Flats Look Good With Skirts, But They Look Even Better as Part of This Parisian-Approved Combo
One thing I can always count on is ballet flats. They remain a constant throughout each season. This summer, I spotted the Parisian footwear paired with midi skirts and loose linen trousers. For fall, French women will continue their love affair with ballet flats, pairing them with classic denim—specifically straight-leg jeans. With chilly weather on the forecast, I'm starting to see the return of satin, suede, and patent leather.
Very '90s and very chic, this French woman–approved look is easy to replicate. Scroll for some stellar style inspiration. Spoiler: Suede jackets, striped shirts, and elevated basics are the way to go. I've included some standout flats from Madewell and J.Crew. Denim-wise, I've added some editor-favorites from Levi's, Paige, AG, and Banana Republic. Shop the romantic duo with these ballet flats and jeans.
