Right now, there’s nothing sartorially better than seeing that square-toe silhouette peek out from under a pair of blue jeans. Sienna Miller, Demi Moore, and Romee Strijd are a few of the style stars who were recently photographed wearing the undeniably chic pairing, consigning it as the It shoe of the moment.

It doesn’t matter if you’re into the baggy puddle jeans like Moore and Strijd or the trendy barrel silhouette with a distressed hem à la Miller, the comfortable shoe elevates every denim outfit.

Unlike traditional ballet flats, these come with an extra-comfortable, soft padded insole and are created using a “sacchetto” technique that makes them more flexible and great for walking. Even the girlies on TikTok are going wild over the elegant design.

What’s even better? These ballet flats are much more than a trend that will be here today and gone tomorrow. Gucci is known for its exceptional attention to detail and meticulous craftsmanship, especially when it comes to shoes. It’s no coincidence that several styles, like its iconic leather loafers, have risen to the shoe hall of fame, maintaining their status for decades. And if history repeats itself, these coveted ballet flats will join the ranks as the label’s next iconic design.
