After appearing in Bazaar’s guide to the best ballet flats, Mansur Gavriel’s Dream Ballerinas have earned a second shout-out here.
When texture and a little sprezzatura are your highest priorities, choose these woven ballet flats from Eledera. Each pair is hand-woven in Italy, with a technique that creates a flexible yet durable fit.
I was impressed with their construction and feel. They’re like house slippers cleverly masquerading as out-and-about shoes, with their soft, flexible, and supportive sole.
Mesh flats like Dear Frances’s deliver comfort beyond a low-to-the-ground sole. The sleekly minimalist mesh fabric feels like a whisper against your skin on warm days.
Gucci’s Jordaan loafers were my first designer footwear purchase, and I’ve never looked back. The curved toe and horsebit detail are truly timeless; archival street-style images will back me up here.
Regardless of where the trend cycle is spinning, these preppy flats are packable for an elevated travel outfit or comfortable enough to wear through security and on the flight.

Slide into something comfortable for birthday parties, work dinners, and other functions with a semiformal dress code.
I own more than a few pairs of Everlane shoes, from fisherman sandals to these glovelike ballet flats. This pair offers incredible quality at a lower price: The leather is soft, the bow fixtures stay tied, and the little loops at the back make them easy to take on and off.
