You’ll never hear me say “don’t wear jeans“âthey’re a cornerstone of my wardrobe and one of the hardest-working pieces I own. What I will say, though, is that certain trouser trends have a way of making specific shoes look even better. Recently, I’ve found myself thinking about the trouser styles that best complement ballet flats, and I think I’ve landed on the chicest pairing of them all.
Courtesy of Iris Law, I was reminded how elegant ballet flats can look when styled with lace-trim trousers. Swapping classic denim for an ultra-relaxed pair with delicate lace detailing, the model created an outfit that felt soft, effortless and polished. The fluid silhouette echoed the graceful feel of her ballerinas in a way that felt fresh and modernâsomething trainers simply couldn’t have achieved.
Keeping the rest of her outfit relaxed, Iris finished the look with a slouchy knit. The cosy layer balanced the femininity of the lace-trim trousers and dainty flats, preventing the outfit from feeling overly prim whilst allowing both hero pieces to shine.
Fresh off the back of this summer’s lace-trim obsession, lace-trim trousers feel like a natural next step for the trend. They’re an easy way to give your wardrobe a subtle nod to the new season without sacrificing comfort or overcomplicating your everyday styling.
So, if you’ve found yourself reaching for jeans on repeat, consider this your sign to switch things up. A pair of lace-trim trousers might just make your favourite ballet flats feel brand new. Scroll on to shop my edit of the best styles available now.
