Layering is not just a matter of style, but above all, practicality. The right combination of them, in fact, allows you to avoid the seasonal change of wardrobe, that little test that we all, sooner or later, have to go through - whether we love fashion or not. With the arrival of winter, our wardrobes are filled with warm sweaters and long coats, without, however, having to give up lace tops or light shirts. A silk dress can be comfortably worn over leggings or trousers, while ballet flats look very stylish with socks, and so on. At the same time, there are styles that, thanks to their shades, textures or style, are considered more "winter" and therefore the ideal allies to face the cold always in style.
Ballet flats are the ultimate stylish choice for any wardrobe, no matter the season. They are worn from morning to night, combined with jeans and T-shirts, but also with skirts or coats for more refined looks. Looking closely at the catwalks and street style, a common element can be seen that defines this winter's looks: warm shades that "hug" the skin, burgundy, brown and classic black along with textures that exude luxury such as suede and shearling.
Winter ballerinas on the catwalk
As is often the case, the catwalks set the stage for the season's trends, presenting the new coveted pieces that will soon be on our wish lists. If we focus on the shoes, we see that together with the belted boots and the soft moccasins, the ballerinas also stand out, in a comfortable and sophisticated version, ideal for winter.
Bally and Dries Van Noten stay true to the classic, offering a clean, elegant Mary Jane style, the perfect shoe for every day of the week, from morning to night. Chloé, on the other hand, opts for Parisian romance with ballerinas decorated with laces that almost gently hug the leg, creating a very interesting transparent effect, perfect even for formal or business occasions. MSGM takes a bolder course, investing in the fur trend and presenting ballerinas with shearling textures in bold hues like fiery red.

This year's obsession with fur doesn't leave shoes untouched either. From warm brown shades to more delicate white or caramel, fur ballet flats are emerging as a winter must-have. Warm and comfortable, they are the fashion touch that makes the difference even in the simplest outfit, whether you are in the mountains or in the city.

Suede ballet flats
Soft, flexible and always stylish, suede ballet flats are the perfect choice for cold days. Their soft texture makes them comfortable and versatile: they go perfectly with jeans, skirts or dresses. It is a key piece for Autumn/Winter 2025-2026.

Ballet flats with animal print
Animal print, making a strong comeback, can transform even the most everyday look. Either as a total look, or as a subtle detail, such as a pair of ballet flats or a bag, it gives dynamism and character. Our advice is to choose leopard or zebra and snakeskin which are always timeless.

Ballet flats with laces
Ballerinas with laces are the modern, more formal version of Mary Janes. From deep shades of burgundy to classic brown and black, they're perfect for any moment of the day, adding that sleek, stylish touch that makes all the difference. They hug the foot, without pressing it, giving comfort and refinement to the appearances.

Classic ballerinas
Ballerinas are distinguished by their simple design and classic elegance. That's why no wardrobe, whether summer or winter, should ever be without a basic pair, with neutral tones and simple lines. For this season, choose brown or burgundy shades, following the current fashion trends, or stick to black, which goes with everything. Statement styles are also essential, able to transform an evening look.
