There's no denying that ballet flats have made a major comeback this SS26. And, to be honest, for good reason. Not only are they incredibly versatile, but – if you aren't a fan of getting your feet out at the office – they're an easy-breezy go-to shoe for the hotter temperatures we've been having of late.
Double up on your shoe trends and combine ballet flats with another popular look of this season: crochet. Going way beyond beach bags, crochet is the fabric we're seeing everywhere right now, from cardigans to blouses. So, it makes sense we take that all the way down to our feet, too.
Dip your toe into the trend (literally) with Kashura's Crochet Ballerina Flats. Featuring a hand-crochet design – which totally justifies that higher price tag – these cute ballet flats have a sturdy yet stylish wrap-around ankle tie, making them easy to wear all! day! long! Best of all? These crochet flats come in six different colourways, so you can literally get a pair to match every outfit in your closet. Go on, you have our seal of approval.
If combining ballet flats and crochet isn't enough of a trend powerhouse for you, feel free to add another summer style into the mix courtesy of Next's Forever Comfort® Crochet Ghillie Flats. These strappy ballet flats come in bright cobalt blue, which is a colour that brands including Giorgio Armani, Lanvin, and Celine splashed all over their S/S26 runways.
Pair your crochet ballet flats with a cute linen co-ord or a floaty summer dress for effortless summer looks that won't leave you sweating on your bus ride into work. Just what the heatwave called for.
