Ballet flats are a way for us non-ballerinas to feed the inner ballerina deep down. While the ship has sailed for joining The Royal Ballet School, wearing ballet flats is as close as I’m getting to feeling like the prima ballerina I was meant to be. So when Miu Miu debuted its take on the classic footwear and then paired them with socks and leggings at its Spring/Summer runway show, my inner ballerina reared its tiara head.
The leather and satin Miu Miu ballerinas are iconic, romantic and versatile — even if your vibe is pairing them with a tutu. We won’t judge. The bow and elastic band with Miu Miu’s logo add feminine details to this classic design. The ballet flats have a similar silhouette to Mary Jane shoes thanks to the strap across the vamp. Unfortunately, these gorgeous kicks aren’t cheap. You’ll have to fork over $950 to get your hands on a pair and into your wardrobe rotation.
Although it’s a totally tempting option to skimp on food for two or three months, in reality, the beautiful Miu Miu ballet flats aren’t always a realistic option. So, if shelling out that much doesn’t fluff up your tutu, then here are some ballet flats with that same Miu Miu vibe but not that Miu Miu price:
Schutz Calita Mary Jane Ballet Flat
