When it comes to London girls who set the style agenda, Iris Law is always at the top of my watchlist. Living in the city myself, I know firsthand that Law embodies the essence of London style—playful yet polished, experimental but always effortless. She has a way of making even the most directional trends feel wearable and, when she champions a look that I can already picture filtering onto the pavements during my morning commute, I take note.
This week, Law stepped out in a shoe trend that might just be the most London-coded I’ve seen her wear yet. Typically drawn to low-profile trainers, she switched things up with a fresh spring update: a pair of ballet flats with a distinctly edgier twist.
Rather than the simple suede styles that have dominated so far this season, Law opted for a studded iteration with cool tie details and an inky black finish. The result? A fresh-looking flat-shoe. The lace-up ties add an unexpected touch—one that's ideal for those racking up steps across the city—while the metalwork inject a subtle nod to the studded accessories trend that’s been bubbling up recently, too.
Teaming the flats with a butter yellow top and a gauzy skirt, Law struck a balance between softness and structure, crafting a silhouette I expect to see everywhere this spring. If you're looking to tap into this trend early, keep scrolling to shop the chicest studded and tie-detail ballet flats on the market right now.
