Kendall Jenner is calling it – ballet flats will be everywhere this spring

The noughties called, they want their shoes back.
Kendall Jenner Is Bringing Back This Noughties Shoe Trend

Aah the noughties: as I'm sure you'd agree, it was a time we'd probably rather forget in terms of fashion trends. But as mums always say, everything comes back around. We've seen the return of flat pumps for some time now, and with Kendall Jenner's latest Instagram post, the shoe of Spring 2024 has all but been confirmed.

The model recently shared a series of snaps wearing a cute athleisure set, accessorised with a black bag and matching black flat pumps. While flats are usually worn with jeans or cute dresses, Kendall proved they can go with just about anything, even if you're popping out for your morning Reformer class.

However, she's not the first celeb who's been enjoying the return of the humble flat shoe. Everyone from laid-back street style favourite Katie Holmes to OG ballet flat fan Alexa Chung have been spotted in them of late. Content creators are also on board, with many of them sharing how they style them across Instagram.

In fact, this isn't even the first time Kendall herself has been seen wearing some. She was snapped a while back in a pair of The Row flats, which she paired with some loose trousers and a cosy knit.

There are really two main styles here to covet: the classic ballet flat (tiny bow optional) and the (perhaps) more sophisticated Mary Janes, which feature an elasticated piece of fabric across the foot. These in particular look incredible with a pair of loose-fit jeans.

These really are the ultimate ‘comfort meets style’ shoes, which are pretty much everywhere in the shops ATM. Everyone from Zara to M&S is offering up the best of the best in flats, whichever style or colour you're looking for.
