Kourtney Kardashian was spotted alongside her son Mason Disick while in New York yesterday.
The reality star hit the city streets in a pair of ultra-chic ballet flats. The on-trend style featured black leather uppers and almond-shaped toes fixed with dainty detailing. The silhouette is a classic one, beloved by many thanks to its endless versatility. Where the style differs from the classics is its all-black composition, offering the dancerly style a grungy touch that coincides with Lemme founder’s style preferences as of late.
Ballet flats have become a closet staple for many, gaining popularity in the last few years thanks in part to the “Balletcore” trend. Sweet and simple, the slip-on style marries comfort and style, allowing for a walkable base built upon an endlessly chic silhouette. Aldo, Simone Rocha, Maison Margiela, Circus NYC, Jeffery Campbell and The Row are just a handful of brands that feature ballet flat styles in their extensive footwear lines.
Mesh, pearl-adorned and satin, these brands are revamping the classics, updating the flat for the 21st century. Not just for dancers, high-octane stars like Kardashian continue to wear the style religiously, further cementing the ballet flats popularity. With all this in mind, it seems the on-trend style isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Keeping things simple, Kardashian opted for a plain black tank top-inspired dress layered underneath an oversized tan trenchcoat. On the accessories front, the media personality toted a black leather mini bag accompanied by chunky black aviator sunnies.
When it comes to shoes, Kardashian regularly wears edgy footwear in neutral and metallic tones. When off-duty, the former “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star‘s wardrobe includes platform and lug-soled boots from brands including Naked Wolfe and Prada. She also can be seen in pointed-toe pumps, mules and sandals from luxury brands including Black Suede Studio, Tom Ford and Giuseppe Zanotti.
