 Not Black, Not Red: This Is the Ballet-Flats Color Fashion People Are Wearing From NYC to London

It's no secret that I have a penchant for chic shoes, so when a new trend is brewing, I take note. Over the past few months, I've spotted fashion people on my social feeds opting for blue ballet flats over classic black and trendy red options.

Each gives It-girl vibes and is super easy to re-create with pieces like pretty dresses, cool shorts, relaxed pants, and more. Keep scrolling to check out the inspiring looks, plus more standout blue ballet flats that are perfect for 2026.
