It's officially ballet pumps weather! Here are our top 10 to buy now

Effortless Parisian chic is one of the most desired and emulated of the modern day wardrobe. Bretons, straight jeans, silk scarves and berets all play a part, but our most-loved essential is the ballet pump.

A forever favourite with Alexa Chung, Kate Moss and just about every style icon the world over, these simple flats are a no-brainer to have to hand for just about any outfit combination. You can pair them with a dress with pockets or a spring skirt for a comfortable and stylish daytime look, or dress them up with a pretty floaty blouse and jeans to make sure you can stay out all night feeling comfortable when you hit the town.

Plus, who doesn't want a pair of shoes that are both comfortable and super easy to stash in your handbag for when your heels become a bit unbearable?

Whether you prefer a tonal colour like nude or beige, are ready to go bright and bold with animal print or vibrant red mesh, or even to take them high fashion with metallic embellishments, you'll find a pair to suit your style. Some will have the addition of a pretty bow, and others are made from soft supple leather, and others still like the pair from Vivaia, are machine washable. No matter your taste or budget, there is a pair of ballet flats out there that are your perfect match.
