The Pretty Shoe Trend Fashion People Are Wearing With Leggings

Humaa Hussain
Ballet flats are one of those special shoe silhouettes that are always around but enter the spotlight in more noteworthy ways from time to time. And yes, that time happens to be right now. The pretty silhouette has been a fixture on the runways for a few seasons now (ahem, Miu Miu and Chanel) and is a go-to for celebs and fashion people.
The beauty of ballet flats is that you can wear them with a range of outfits because they’re quite versatile. Baggy jeans are a popular pairing, but yes, so are trusty black leggings. The silhouette brings an elegant and an extra chic element to a leggings outfit, whether it’s a more dressed-up or low-key ensemble.
