Like leggings, ballet flats seem tired if they’re too plain. That’s why we’d recommend picking up a new, gussied-up pair from Nordstrom while they’re on sale.
Snakeprint is super stylish yet subtle. We like a little extra hardware, too. ($60 from $120.)
These jewel-toned flats from Steve Madden are exactly what I need to give my skinny jeans-and-a-tee outfit a little kick ($47 from $80.)
Perforation is just oh-so-contemporary, and these DV by Dolce Vita flats are a prime example ($50 from $70.)
For more options, check out our guide to flat shoes, and for great picks to go with new flats, peruse our guides to skinny jeans and pencil skirts.
