The particular style of ballet flats that many individuals wear without even recognizing that it's a trend.

      As the ballet-flats trend continues to evolve since its inception several years ago, I'm noticing a decline in the number of people wearing the classic ballet flats with bows. In 2026, there are numerous variations of ballet flats available, with some styles being so understated that you might not even realize they fit the trend. One particularly chic example was seen on flat-shoe enthusiast Lily Collins. Currently filming the sixth season of Emily in Paris in Mykonos, Collins was recently spotted taking a boat to lunch with her castmates. Rather than opting for standard ballet flats with her black capri pants, Collins wore two-tone ballet flats, characterized by contrasting straps or trims. Specifically, she chose a pair from Margaux (a favorite among Who What Wear editors) in cream with a delicate black elastic strap. These two-tone flats provided a modern and elegant accent to her capri-pant ensemble that one-tone flats simply cannot achieve. Now that you’re aware of the two-tone ballet flats trend, you're likely to see them everywhere—perhaps even on your own feet. Continue scrolling to find your perfect pair.
