It’s about time that the ballet flat raised the fashion bar. Swapping the sometimes too-sweet appeal for a more sophisticated (yet flirty) shape, the traditional flat isn’t afraid to reveal a little skin this season – say hello to the divine d’Orsay flat!
Even the French flair of the name d’Orsay (pronounced door-say) fittingly describes the refined, romantic feel of this shoe. The d’Orsay is simply a flat that has the middle section (also known as the vamp) carved out, revealing the arch of the foot. It also has a slightly more pointed toe. Who knew that such a subtle cutout change could transform the flat? A peek of chic works wonders…
