Six Suede Ballet Flats We’ll All Be Wearing in September

Thinking about autumn, it means leaning (almost automatically) toward the suede boat shoes you’ve been missing, the retro-inspired sneakers your father wore thirty years ago, and the cowboy boots that promise to return every year. But what if I told you that your ballet flats will regain more prominence than you imagine? Yes, they will, and they will be coated in suede.

Everyone talked about balletcore in 2022. However, many believed the trend had become obsolete. A grave error. Rosalía’s Lux Tour or the rising vogue of barre prologue its staying power, although it moves further away from the traditional aesthetics we all know to venture into a somewhat punk, rebellious and modern preppy terrain. Suede ballet flats fit perfectly. They are ideal for the in-between seasons, they pair perfectly with your jeans, mini dresses and suits; and they give any simple look you have in mind an irresistible autumnal touch.

Can’t wear them when it rains? Well, like any suede footwear. However, as a trade-off, they are warm, feminine and their elegance doesn’t feel heavy. Karlie Kloss has already taken them to the streets, and your trusted brands are betting that those who never miss a trend will dare with them as well.
