For decades, ballet flats have been that one footwear staple that's easy, comfortable, and timeless. But the balletcore craze of the past few years, which has seen the dance world infiltrate fashion, has pushed the trusty ballet flats to a new level. And now, they're more dancer-approved than ever before.

Just trust resident celebrity dancer Jennifer Lopez, who was spotted wearing a pair of ballet flats that closely resembled pointe shoes (for the uninitiated, those are the ones you wear to stand on your tippy toes) during a stroll in Los Angeles. She paired the flats with a pussy bow black sweater, matching chino pants, and a chain-strap handbag.

Although the all-black outfit may feel a bit "been there, done that," the flat, square toe, criss-cross elastics, and ankle-tied ribbons give the flats a 2024 edge. Even if the balletcore trend might seem too avant-garde, a pair of pointe-shoe adjacent ballet flats close the deal any time for the most classic of fashionistas, like Lopez.

Lopez's outfit is another indication that the ballet trend is not going anywhere. Just this past Fashion Month, designers like Ferragamo and Simone Rocha showcased collections that heavily referenced the dance world, featuring ballet staples like wrap cardigans, convertible tights, tutus, and other staples. And while wearing a tulle skirt or pink leotard may not be realistic for most, Lopez's look offers an alternative to channeling the trend.

If Lopez inspired you to get on your toes, the options below might be for you.
