How to style ballet flats: 5 outfit ideas for every body shape

Hi everyone! Do you remember when I shared how to style a sweater vest? I'm so happy you loved that post that I wanted to write a similar one and chat with you about a significant trend this year: ballet flats. I know that they are tricky and can create some confusion. But today, I want to share 5 outfit ideas to style ballet flats that can fit nicely on any body shape. 

I'm a girl with chubby legs and a pear body shape, and I'm uncomfortable when I show my legs or wear skirts. So, when trends like ballet flats or low-rise jeans come back, I'm confused and uninspired. But, I know somebody is feeling like me, so I hope to share some good vibes and inspiration to experiment with fashion and just have fun with clothes. 

With wide-leg trousers or denim

Ballet flats are great to create a contrast with wide-leg trousers and denim. Also, it's perfect if you feel uncomfortable showing your legs. 

The wide-leg fit creates a smooth silhouette around your legs to elongate and slim them. Ensure that the trousers or denim end on your feet, not your ankle. 

With legwarmers

Embrace the ballerina that lives inside you and style your ballet flats with legwarmers and mini skirts or shorts. This outfit idea is the most challenging, but I love it!

With a long knit dress

The ballet flats contrast nicely with the knit dress's rich texture and shape. The final result is an elegant and cozy movement. Chef kiss.

Monochrome and slim fit

For modern Audrey Hepburn attire, wear one color and a slim fit. 

Preppy

College mini skirt, fitted sweater, tights, and ballet flats: preppy vibes are immaculate. If you're a Gossip Girl fan like me, you know this outfit calls for a headband like the queen Blair Waldorf. 

And now, let's talk about some great tips if you want to jump on this trend. When trying your ballet flats, you first want to remember that a pointed shoe elongates the silhouette. A rounded shoe is more like a ballerina flat but shortens your feet. Next up, monochrome ballet flats are easier to style and make your feet much longer than the two-tone ones. Lastly, ballet flats are trending so much now, but it's a classic. Look at Audrey Hepburn; she's a timeless fashion icon. So, you'll use your ballet flats repeatedly over the years.
