When it comes to signature autumnal hues, rich, earthy browns tend to stand out among the rest. This season, nowhere is this more evident than in the slew of sleek brown ballet flats dominating the market, from luxe pairs by Alaïa, Gucci, and The Row to contemporary favorites from Dear Frances, Yuni Buffa, and Freda Salvador.
Softer than their closet counterpart, the black ballet flat, but with just as much styling potential, there’s a reason why brown ballet flats are a top fall shoe trend. They anchor any transitional look to perfection—be it white jeans and a bomber jacket or a floral-print maxi dress.
Vogue’s Edit of the Best Brown Flats for Fall:
Classic, round-toe ballet flats are to be expected—see pairs from Repetto, Mansur Gavriel, and Margaux—however, we’re especially drawn to styles featuring a little more fashion flair. Zendaya embraced the idea on a recent outing in London, when she slipped into Maison Margiela’s chocolate-brown Tabis with a flowy white dress, little black cardigan, and paisley-print bandana knotted in her hair.
