Shopping Guide: Beautiful Ballet Flats

by Colleen Geary, fashion stylist and image consultant

What better shoe is there for the modern woman than the simple, ever elegant ballet flat?  Perfect for women on the go, ballet flats are a practical mix of form and function. 

Ballet flats were first made popular by Brigitte Bardot when she graced the silver screen in a pair made by Reppeto in 1956.  Now, more than fifty years later, Reppeto still makes a variety of ballet flats that fit a modern woman’s lifestyle.  Our ballet flat shopping guide includes classic styles from Repetto–but also gathers styles from other price points so that you can find the right shoe for you:

If you’re looking for a raincoat that doesn’t look like a raincoat, you can stop your search. Old Navy’s raincoat combines the chicness of your favorite button-front jacket with the waterproof qualities of a raincoat. And it comes in both black and bright colors so that you’ll always have one that works with your outfit.
