Ballet flats are back, baby! We finally have an excuse to ditch the heels and return to our natural habitat of comfy footwear. Flats are simultaneously timeless and trendy, like blue jeans or gold hoop earrings. Chanel makes a classic pair of flats that are way out of our budget, but you can still get the same look for less with affordable alternatives that won’t break the bank.
We found seven styles that may even rival designer brands. These sophisticated shoes will help you channel your favorite stars, from Taylor Swift to Katie Holmes. Shop these fabulous flats below!
