Here you shop the cutest ballerinas
and of very high quality
I don't know about you, but I haven't lost my obsession with ballerinas yet. And I'm not talking about just any pair of black slippers that you wear when you don't feel like sneakers. No, I'm talking about ballerinas that give your outfit an extra touch. A beautiful pattern, special material, striking detail, and a perfect fit make my outfit just that little bit more complete.
From classic black to Chanel vibes and even a bit of silver: these are the ballerinas that are currently on my wishlist. And they all come from the same place; Repetto in Paris. When I lived there, I always popped into this amazing boutique in Le Marais, often just to enjoy all the beauty that this store has to offer.
These burgundy Repetto ballerinas
Okay, let's start with my number one. The Cendrillon Ballet Flats Deep Wine Red Tartan from Repetto are really the kind of pair that makes me spontaneously think of outfits to wear with them, especially for autumn.
I find the combination of deep burgundy and tartan pattern so lovely. It's classic but definitely not boring. And that's exactly what I'm looking for in a ballerina these days.
They look great under light blue wide-fit jeans, peeking just out from under your pants. A nice oversized blazer and a simple top on top, and you're all set to go.
The black Repetto ballerina that goes with everything
Of course, the classic black ballerina cannot be missing. The Sophia Ballet Flats in Black from Repetto are, in my opinion, the kind of pair that you buy once and then keep pulling out of your closet for years. That's due to the leather and the amazing quality that Repetto delivers.
This shoe, which gives the detail on top of an actual ballerina, adds just that little extra under a skirt or shorts. This creates an eye-catcher under an otherwise simple outfit.
If you find that detail a bit too much, it can of course just be hidden under pants. Especially if you usually wear a lot of jeans, trousers, and neutral colors, a black ballerina is just a very good investment. Not necessarily the most exciting purchase of your life, but definitely one that you'll think later: why didn't I get this sooner?
Black with beige: this Repetto ballerina is chic
Do you want something classic, but find all black just a bit too predictable? Then I would look at the Alba Ballet Flats in Black and Beige.
The combination of black and beige makes them immediately a bit more interesting and gives them that quiet luxury vibe that I myself have also become sensitive to. The nice thing is that with such a neutral color combination, you don't have to think too much about the rest of your outfit. They actually go with everything. And the small black heel makes this ballerina a bit more chic.
I mainly see these with a beige trouser, a dark brown bag, and a simple top. But they also work perfectly with dark jeans and an oversized T-shirt.
These Repetto ballerinas give Chanel vibes
And then I saw these and immediately thought: Chanel vibes. The Cendrillon Ballet Flats in Tweed Black and Blue have a luxurious appearance due to the tweed material and the classic color combination. They are therefore just a bit more special than a standard black ballerina.
This is, in my opinion, also the shoe for when your outfit is actually very simple. A dark jeans, white T-shirt, black jacket, and these ballerinas. Done.
Silver Repetto ballerinas like out of a fairy tale
Pinterest is currently full of IT girls wearing silver ballerinas. I can't fall behind on that. The Cendrillon Ballet Flats in Silver have been on my wishlist for a while now. Maybe a bit less for every day, but that's exactly why I like them so much.
Silver ballerinas are, in my opinion, a very easy way to make a basic outfit more interesting. Just wear them under jeans with a simple sweater and you suddenly have a completely different look. Or save them for a night out. A black trouser, simple top, good bag, and silver ballerinas. It really doesn't have to be more than that.
Which ballerina do you choose?
If I could choose one right now, I actually already know: the burgundy Cendrillon with tartan. I just find it perfect for autumn. The color, the check pattern, the classic shape, everything fits perfectly in my opinion.
But if you're looking for a pair that you can really wear everywhere, I would go for the black Sophia. Want something a bit more chic? Then the black-beige Alba's are a very good option.
And if you want to give your outfit just a bit more fashion? Then I would definitely look at the tweed variant. You get those Chanel vibes for free, in my opinion.
