Mango’s £36 ballet flats are the perfect alternative to Miu Miu’s £700 pair

Although autumn footwear often means chunky boots and oversized trainers, there’s one slightly more delicate shoe trend taking off right now; the ballet flats.

Balletcore has been turning into one of fashion’s current must-have styles, and the dainty ballerina-inspired shoes are quickly becoming a wardrobe staple for days where you want something more feminine than a loafer and less heavy duty than a boot.

Easily identifiable by their rounded toe and soft, flexible material, you can typically get them in leather (or faux leather) or satin, and they usually have either a bow on the front, or elasticated straps across the arches.

Miu Miu’s Satin Ballerinas, £700 here, have proven to be one of the most popular styles, with their sleek satin uppers and branded elastic strap that secures them to your feet, giving you a classic ballet dancer look.
