Trend alert! The dreamy ballerina shoe is back in style. This classic, flat mule is making a stylish comeback and is rapidly conquering the fashion world. Because whether you’re going for a chic look or a casual outfit, you’re always right with ballerinas underneath!
Comeback
It is common knowledge that fashion trends often return after a few years. For example, in the past ten years we were all captivated by trends from the 90s. Low-waist jeans, cargo pants and long denim skirts, among others, returned to the streets. And for a while now we can add another trend to this list, because ballerinas are also completely hot and happening in the high-fashion world.
This flat shoe made a comeback in the spring/summer 2021 collections and since then we have been seeing mules everywhere. From the classic Chanel ballet flat, to Alaïa’s more special mesh ballerinas. It is clear: the ballerina must be part of your shoe collection again in 2024.
Investment
The ballerina has been out several times, but has also come back into fashion. And that is precisely why it is smart to purchase a good quality pair. “They are a great investment because they have a timeless style that never goes out of date,” said Cassie Smart, head of women’s clothing buying at Matches Fashion. “You may wear them one year and not the next, but you will always return to them.” She calls the ballerina extremely versatile due to the simple design of the shoe. “It is a very flattering shape and can be styled with everything from denim to dresses, in any length.”
Are you unsure about how to wear the ballerina? We will give you some inspiration below.
Trousers
Are you going for chic? Then choose trousers! A plain one or one with a print, both work perfectly. For a casual chic look, combine the trousers with a sweater, and for pure elegance, add a blazer. Complete your outfit with a large necklace, clutch or striking earrings.

Jeans
Whatever shoe you choose, denim is always a good choice. For example, style your ballerinas with skinny jeans, mom jeans or a denim dress. The denim material certainly gives your classic ballerinas a cool twist.
