      Although the calendar still marks sandal season, style-wise, everyone is already looking forward to autumn. This is precisely why suede ballet flats have become so popular. A perfect example is Karlie Kloss's recent outfit. While promoting her new book, Spaghetti Code, Kloss was spotted in L.A. wearing a stylish skirt ensemble. The outfit featured a white pleated midi skirt teamed with a striped rugby shirt. She opted for olive green high-vamp suede ballet flats to complete her look, which she accessorized with retro sunglasses and her book.

      Suede ballet flats are perfect for autumn but also work well in transitional weather when it’s warm but you’re starting to dress for fall. They can effortlessly elevate any summer outfit, whether it’s paired with jean shorts, a minidress, or a linen outfit, giving it a more autumnal feel. Furthermore, the suede material adds warmth and sophistication without being too heavy. If you’re in the market for new footwear, take a cue from Kloss and consider investing in suede flats. Bonus points for choosing a high-vamp design, which feels very on-trend for 2026. Keep scrolling to explore some stylish options.
