Pointed toe ballerinas 2023: models for a modern feminine look

Pointed-toe flat shoes will be a must in the summer season, but don’t forget about them in the winter.

Ballet flats are back in all their versions… and we never get tired of them! From romance and fairy tale balletcore, ranging from shiny ballerinas embroidered with sequins to rugged models with studs. However, today we’re going to talk about a model that has been (literally) gaining popularity in recent weeks: pointed flats.

Tapered and strictly flat, able to give a touch of elegance to any outfit (even the most boyish), their return was prompted by the appearance on the catwalk in the fall-winter 2023-2024 season of origami shoes from Prada, the main characters of which were a hyper-feminine, but modern image.

Kendall Jenner’s Favorite Classic Pointed Toe Shoes

Among the increasingly popular models, as well as the favorites of the gorgeous Kendall Jenner, we find the classic pointed ballerinas: Kendall wears them to complement elegant evening outfits, as in the photo below, both for daytime outfits in a good tone, and for a white dress.

Black Castamere flats are part of a timeless shoe category that can adapt to any outfit and occasion. We chose a black suede model inspired by Kendall’s look, classic and elegant, but we can find them in 8 shades: for example, for the most eccentric personalities, we can also find acid green in patent leather, flashy and cool. For a signed alternative, more valuable but still simple and practical, we chose Jimmy Choo ballerinas in brown suede.

Drawing inspiration from Kendall’s first outfit Total Whitehere are exquisite ballerinas Claudette in cream from The Row, with a glossy finish and a slightly higher heel than the other options (which always stays flat).

Ballerinas with studs and buckles, with a fatal soul

Are ballet flats romantic? Not necessary! With the following models, we will let you discover a trend that can satisfy even the most fatal personalities.

Given that the model worn by Simone Adams (pictured above), sold out almost everywhere we again chose the Valentino Garavani alternative, but, in my opinion, even more interesting, thanks to the special coffee color and the combination of studs (typical of Rockstuds): the cut resembles strappy sandals, with thin buckles at the neck and ankle. Even the Cristian Louboutin flats have a rock-chic vibe: black leather and contrasting silver studs, where the unmistakable red sole obviously couldn’t be missing, are hallmarks of the brand.

If you love rock style but aren’t a fan of sharp studs, we have two options in black and white: sandals from Stradivarius and ballerinas from AGL with a practical ankle strap.

Flat sandals, fresh and exquisite

As Lea Neumann demonstrates in the following photos, pointy ballerinas are so versatile that they can be the protagonists of two completely different looks: perfect for completing the most chic and sophisticated looks, teaming them with a pleated skirt, or for a more street and alternative look. those for a full denim outfit consisting of a maxi skirt and a top.

Model sandals by Amazon Fashion has a classic fit, we chose them for their simplicity and unique versatility. In addition, they are also particularly comfortable; the upper that wraps around the foot is soft and comfortable, while the sole is practical and medium width. Available in 5 colors, it’s perfect for the office with beautiful capri style trousers or for special occasions with a super sexy bodycon dress. Perfect for summer, Porte & Paire ballerinas feature an open cut and fresh raffia material.

If, on the other hand, you prefer smooth skin, flats sandals by Proenza Schouler I things that should be absolute; no less intriguing is the H&M model with a very similar cut, but in an all-black version with an animal print.

Jeweled ballerinas, favorites of the stars

Hailey Bieber wears them to complete a decidedly cool total black look, with an oversized leather jacket and shorts + micro top.

Also perfect for a more romantic look, as in the case of Helsa Hosk, who is also particularly perfect, perfectly reflecting the contrast of black and gold on the Hermès bag.

Both wear sandy “Sylvanasfrom Saint Laurent: strappy black leather flats with a gold chain detail on the front that add a touch of flair to this ultra-flat and classic style.

If, on the other hand, you’re looking for pointed flats with thinner, less visible gold details, just to make the shoe lighter, here are the designs from Ferragamo and Burberry.

Mesh ballerinas, cool and fashionable

Undoubtedly among the trends of 2023 (in fact, we have already talked about them here), fishnet ballerinas need no introduction, also because you have probably already seen them on your favorite style icon.

mesh model Magic from Pīferi are so named because of the special “drop” detail, which, when placed on a strip of transparent material, gives the impression that you are standing on the instep of a bare foot. A cooler, lighter alternative, perfect for both summer and homecoming when the heat and the desire to stay cool continue to linger, we have the Santoni in white with a double back strap.

Two-tone, classic and chic ballerinas

Chic and elegant, it pairs perfectly with both trousers and a midi dress.

As an alternative to the model worn by Yasemin Ogün in the photo, we chose C.Paravano pointed ballerinas: the design is elegant and practical, and the details bicolor very reminiscent of the iconic Chanel quilted flats, with the difference that the smooth fabric and the open cut with a heel strap that can show both sides of the foot make it ideal even for hot summer days.

Ballet flats, practical and alternative

Practical and elegant, pointed ballerinas in slipper version are an even more comfortable alternative to already comfortable shoes in terms of wearing comfort and combinations.

The Malone Souliers is simple yet unobtrusive with a clean design complemented by thin, contrasting color symmetrical straps at the back of the foot.

Two precious flat slipper options were not to be missed: the handcrafted Aquazurra shoes with precious embroidery on black suede and the Manolo Blahnik version in emerald green satin embellished with a brilliant Louis XIV style square buckle.
