There is something unusual about ballet flats. A shoe style that’s been around for centuries – these luxury flats aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. I think what draws people to ballet flats, or ballerina flats is that they’re so versatile and can be worn with almost any outfit in almost any season.
And the most classic style should be the black ballerina flat. I mean, it doesn’t get any better than that, does it? Total Audrey Hepburn vibes, and I’m here for it. But how do you know what looks work with these neutral shoes? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered with 5 ways to style black ballerina flats.


M.Gemi Danza Black Ballerina Flats
But before we get into how to style black ballerina flats, I want to share my favorite pair! I’m so excited to collaborate with M.Gemi on this post because, as you know, I love their shoes. Quality designer shoes that are feminine and comfortable. I own their black pumps, lug sole loafers, white leather sneakers, and now, these black leather ballet flats. These flats are specifically called Danza and are available in five different colors.

So what makes Danza so amazing? However, there is a secret: it is not really flat! There is a hidden wedge inside for a 20 mm lift – perfect for this petite woman! So yes, it looks like an apartment, but even more comfortable! With a square toe for a modern take on style, the black leather stretches easily to fit your foot perfectly. No blisters, no rubbing, these shoes are great!
5 Ways to Style Black Ballerina Flats
There are a million outfits that can be styled with black ballet flats. I wanted to narrow it down to five simple styles that you can easily create with items in your closet. So, from a cute date night look to a casual weekend out with friends to everything in between, let me know which M.Gemi Danza ballet flat look is your favorite!
Lace Top And Distressed Denim
I’m putting this look first in today’s blog post because I love it so much! Something about a feminine lace top and boyfriend jeans and finishing it off with black ballet flats is so chic and effortless. I love this look so much and am 100% wearing it for dinner tonight with Adam.
Little Black Dress
You know how much I love this little black dress. And while I recently shared it with sneakers (and M.Gemi – she told me I love their shoes!) and a headband, I had to show off its versatility by pairing it with my black flats and a ladylike bag. Seriously, how good does this all look, even with bare legs? And yes, you can 100% pair black and brown accessories together.



Jeans and T-shirt
Sometimes you just need to throw on jeans and a T-shirt. No sound, no sound. A simple uniform for any outing or event. But when you pair this classic duo with a pair of ballet flats, it elevates it enough to look effortlessly put together. I prefer the look of these ballet flats with straight leg jeans over skinny jeans.
Black Leggings
It’s a no-brainer for sure – black leggings and black ballerina flats are like a match made in fashion heaven. Pair this together in the summer with a cute tank top, or in the fall, try it with an oversized sweater. I’ve worn black leggings in a few ways here on the blog but I have to say, wearing them with flats is my favorite!



Leopard Pants
If you work in an office environment and are sick of walking around in high heels, get these Danza flats! No more kicking your shoes under your desk – these flats are so comfortable you’ll forget you’re wearing them! I’ve never worked in a traditional office environment (fashion magazines have a very stylish dress code), so I paired them with leopard pants and a black bodysuit.
