Jennifer Lawrence Declares It's Time to Put Away Your Sandals and Opt for This Flat Shoe with Midi Skirts Instead.

      I don't create the rules, but I'm more than willing to adhere to them, especially when Jennifer Lawrence is leading the way. This week, the actress declared that sandal season has officially ended. Instead of opting for open-toe shoes to match her flowing midi skirt, she chose a sleek pair of ballet flats—a simple change that marks the end of open-toe footwear days. Just a few weeks ago, strappy sandals would have been the obvious match for such a skirt. However, with rain looming and leaves scattered on the ground, wearing sandals seems inherently inappropriate. Fortunately, Lawrence’s perfectly timed outfit demonstrates that classic ballet flats can be just as stylish with midi skirts as the sandals that were previously favored.

      To enhance her outfit, the actress added a tailored black single-breasted jacket over her look. Featuring a stylish lapel and a sleek button-up design, Lawrence’s jacket offers a refined and elongating silhouette—a refreshing alternative to the standard blazers that have been popular for so long. Underneath, she wore a boxy T-shirt, casually untucked—an approved style choice by Gen Z that introduced an element of relaxed flair.

      Her accessories were equally well-considered. A colorful pendant necklace, monogrammed Dior handbag, and black sunglasses contributed polish, while her tousled waves framed her face perfectly, achieving that effortlessly undone look Lawrence does so well.

      Inspired by Lawrence’s outfit, I’m planning to keep my midi skirts in rotation this season – exchanging my sandals for chic ballet flats instead. Keep reading to find some of the best midi skirts and flats to recreate this stylish look.
