Bye Boots, Hey Ballets: The Soft Shoe Comeback

LISTEN UP

It’s that in-between moment—winter’s still here, but your heart is dreaming of spring. Enter: soft shoes. Ballet flats, dainty slingbacks, even mesh Mary Janes—they’re all tiptoeing back into style, and honestly? We’re here for it. Here’s how to wear them now (yes, even with your winter wardrobe):

Ballet Flats + Wide-Leg Denim
Offset the delicacy of a ballet flat with structured, wide-leg jeans and a tucked-in knit. Add a trench or oversized coat to keep things cozy.

Marni - Dancer Bow-detailed Leather Ballet Flats - Black

Chloé - Organic High-rise Wide-leg Jeans - Blue

Slingbacks + Tailored Layers
Pointy-toe slingbacks add polish to a layered look. Try them with a blazer, layered turtleneck, and cigarette pants. French-girl vibes fully activated.

Aeyde - Carla Snake-effect Leather Slingback Pumps - Animal print

Aretha Blazer - Brown Plaid

Mesh or Sheer Flats + Statement Socks
We said it: wear your sheer flats now with thick, printed socks or even textured tights. It’s a statement move that feels street-style ready.

Alaïa - Patent Leather-trimmed Mesh Ballet Flats - Pink

SHUSHU/TONG - Pack Of Three Embroidered Cotton-blend Socks - Multi

Loafers Lite
Backless loafers or slim-cut versions are the perfect in-between shoe—still structured, but lighter on the foot. Pair with cropped trousers or midi skirts.

SAINT LAURENT - Le Loafer Eel Slippers - Burgundy

Chloé - Organic Cropped Straight-leg Jeans - Blue

We’re not saying goodbye to boots just yet, but these soft shoes are definitely stepping into the spotlight. Start styling them now and thank us later when spring hits full force.
