Best Ballerina Flats for Spring 2023
Rothy's

Ballerina flats are one of the best shoes for summer and it doesn't hurt that they're comfy too.

Ballet flats are a summer wardrobe staple that never goes out of style. As the new season approaches, we're seeing the ballet flat trending and we've rounded up the best shoe styles to add to your everyday looks. Many of us are looking to step up our shoe game — from strappy sandals to white sneakers to wedges with nature-inspired materials, but one of our favorites has to be the ballerina flat. 

Ballet flats are totally chic and girly, but unlike other feminine options, you don't have to worry about your feet aching by the end of the day because of an uncomfortable heel. Along with more comfort, ballet flats are a timeless wardrobe staple from Brigitte Bardot sporting them in the 1950s to Kate Moss wearing them throughout the height of her career to today with Bella Hadid turning eyes onto the Balletcore trend. For summer, ballerina flats come in vibrant and fun colors that will add a pop of color to your wardrobe. 

If you want to get in on this everlasting style or need to upgrade your old Mary Jane flats, we've got you covered. Below, we've rounded up the best ballet flats you'll want to wear this summer and beyond.
