Fashion Trend 2025: Wearing socks with ballet flats

Long associated with a classic or school style, the ballet flat is making a remarkable comeback on the fashion scene... this time accompanied by an unexpected accessory: ballet flat socks . A duo that at first glance seems explosive, but which is nevertheless becoming one of the symbols of the 2025 trend.

Wearing socks with ballet flats is now a strong fashion statement , combining comfort, style and uniqueness. MAISON BROUSSAUD guides you in this bold trend, with socks made in France , in our Limousin workshop, combining know-how and high standards.

Why are ballerinas making a comeback in today's fashion?

A key piece of the 2000s, the ballerina is back on the catwalks and in the streets. While it still seduces with its simplicity and elegance, it is updated thanks to unexpected combinations, notably with visible or textured socks .

Pairing women's ballet flats with ballet socks allows you to play with contrasts: a classic look energized by graphic or colorful details. This combination breaks the mold while asserting a confident, modern, and cutting-edge style.

Influencers and designers alike are not mistaken: the ballerinas + socks duo is becoming a statement , which seduces with its freshness and its offbeat side.

What are the benefits of wearing socks with ballet flats?

The trend is all about striking the perfect balance between casual and sophisticated. Wearing cotton, wool, or invisible ballet flat socks allows you to:

• Improve comfort by reducing friction and preventing irritation.
  
  

• To add personality to your outfits , thanks to patterns, textures or colors.
  
  

• To stand out , by playing on an association that is still little adopted, but full of potential.
