5 Versatile Ballet Flats to Add to Your Closet This Fall
It's solidified. Balletcore is the aesthetic of 2023. You can hardly go to stores like Urban Outfitters, ASOS, Garage and more without seeing ballet slippers and dainty baby-pink athletic wear.
Of course, the most imperative item in balletcore is the product at the heart of it—ballet flats. No ballet dancer would be complete without their shoes. Ahead, find five gorgeous slippers for fall inspired by the iconic pointe shoe.
Target Jackie Ballet Flats: $19.99
Anyone new to ballet flats might want to start with the most basic kind. These Jackie slippers from Target are the standard flat.
Back in the early 2010s, we hated wearing ballet flats because the soles would have no cushion. You don't have to worry about that with these shoes—they're extremely comfortable, even for wide feet.

ASOS RAID Pixie Ballet Flat Shoe with Ankle Straps in Black: $30
We love it when ballet dancers lace up their pointe shoes. That's undoubtedly the most charming aspect of the flats. The lace is unnecessary for everyday wear, so it can sometimes be difficult to find, but ASOS has a great pair of shoes with ankle straps. They add so much character to the slippers!

Urban Outfitters Lace Ballet Flat: $39
Balletcore has a lot of lace. Whether you can't handle having lace tops or bottoms and prefer something more subtle or want the fabric everywhere, these flats are for you. And if you've had your shoes fly off your foot while walking, these will stay secure, thanks to the elastic band across the top.

Steve Madden Vinetta Rhinestone Ballet Flats: $89.95
Leather over lace? We're the same way, and that's why these buckle ballet flats from Steve Madden might be our favorite on this list. Ballet slippers always offer a soft, delicate vibe, but you can spice up your edgiest looks even more with this pair.
Dolce Vita x For Love & Lemons Lilly Ballet Flats: $100
If you've never shopped at For Love & Lemons, know that it's pretty much a paradise of all things frilly and feminine, just like balletcore. So, of course, they would have their own unique take on ballet flats. These shoes feature a strap with tiny roses across it—it's so subtle but makes a huge difference for the slippers.
