Fashion's Latest Footwear Trend: Ballet Flats

A ballet flat is a great way to complete your look when wearing a floral dress. The delicate, feminine style of the shoe pairs perfectly with the feminine floral print of the dress. Whether you choose an understated leather black or a muted satin ballet in hues of pink or a colour to match one of the flowers in the pattern, you'll love how chic and put-together your outfit will look. 

The current trend in florals is all about hand painted large bold prints and 2023 trend colours in fashion such as Viva Magenta – so when pairing them with ballet flats, make sure to pick out shades that match some of the flowers in your dress for extra impact! For example, if you're wearing a sunshine yellow-and-blue floral patterned maxi dress – why not go for powder blue ballet flats? This type of look is both fashionable and timeless; making it ideal for summer social gatherings like outdoor weddings or evening barbecues. One thing is for sure a ballet flat worn with your floral dress will make you look super feminine to say the least.
