Summer 2023 Styling: 5 Fresh Ballet Flat Looks
Ready to show off those Tieks from now until Labor Day? Here are 5 great ways to style ballet flats for summer.
1. With cutoffs and a smile.
What’s one of the most iconic looks of summer? Frayed jeans shorts, a white tank, and the brilliant pop of color that comes from gorgeous Clover-Green Tieks.
2. Go to great lengths.
Swap shorts for a full-skirted, calf-skimming maxi skirt—prints are welcome—and lean into those delicate, feminine vibes with Diamond White Croc foldable ballet flats.
3. Play up a pretty print.
In love with summer florals? Pick out a pretty sundress with So. Much. Color. Then, find one shade that deserves a bit more focus—may we suggest lovely lilac or Barbie pink—and pump up its volume with a coordinated pair of lovely Fuschia Tieks.
4. Get white hot…but never boring.
White on white is a cool summer look, literally and figuratively. Whether that means pairing tees and shorts, tanks and skirts or some other enticing combination, adding a vibrant pair of Mustard Yellow Tieks will bring a bit of sunshine to the mix.
5. Crop and go.
Not into micro mini hemlines, even in summer? Pull on boyfriend-style capris with a boxy cropped tee to avoid overheating and to keep things casual. Then, add a little touch of polish with sweet-but-sophisticated Cardinal Red Tieks.
