Ballet pumps are officially back — and we know what you're thinking. Flashbacks to flimsy flats and awkward proportions? Same. But let us reassure you: this time around, we’re doing it differently.
At RELR, we’re obsessed with taking trends and reworking them for real life. Because let’s face it — our community deserves style that works for your shape, your life, and your vibe. So whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, athletic or all of the above (hey, bodies change week to week — we get it), we’re showing you exactly how to wear ballet pumps with our key RELR pieces — and actually feel amazing doing it.
1. With Our Floaty Sadie Skirt
Your vibe: Soft, feminine, flowing — but with shape
The Sadie Skirt was made for movement. And paired with a sleek ballet pump? You’ve just nailed the chic, modern dancer-off-duty look.
💡 Style tip: Choose a pointy or square-toe ballet flat to elongate the leg — especially if you're worried about flats cutting you off. Add a sculpting bodysuit (our best-seller, obviously) to keep the waist defined and your silhouette snatched.
💬 Body win: Sadie’s floaty fabric skims hips and thighs without clinging, while the ballet pump keeps the whole look grounded and easy to move in. No pinching. No wobbling. Just effortless elegance.
2. With Our Best-Selling Bodysuits
Your vibe: Clean, sculpted, confident.
Let’s be real — our bodysuits are famous for a reason. They hold you in, smooth you out, and make you feel put together in seconds.
💡 Style tip: For a city-girl-on-the-go look, style your bodysuit with tailored shorts or a micro mini, then finish with structured ballet flats (think leather, with a subtle bow or metal detail). It’s giving “French It Girl” meets “I’ve got my life together.”
💬 Body win: Our bodysuits hug in all the right places without rolling or riding up, so you can wear a lower shoe with confidence. No more worrying about proportions — this outfit balances itself out.
3. With Wide-Leg Trousers
Your vibe: Relaxed, luxe, legs for days
Wide-leg trousers + ballet flats = surprisingly chic. The secret? It’s all about the length and the silhouette on top.
💡 Style tip: Make sure your trousers just skim the top of your ballet flats to avoid looking swamped. Tuck in a fitted RELR bodysuit or cropped knit to define your waist, and you’ve got that dreamy hourglass shape without even trying.
💬 Body win: Our trousers are cut with movement and flow, so they don’t cling at the thighs or flatten your bum (the struggle is real). And because ballet flats keep you grounded, you can wear this look from desk to drinks without a heel in sight.
The Ballet Pump, Reinvented
If you’ve avoided flats in the past, we hear you. But this isn’t the ballet pump of 2011. This is the grown-up, styled-up version — and with the right RELR pieces, it can absolutely work with your shape, not against it.
So whether you’re heading to brunch, running errands, or dancing (softly) through your city — know this: you’ve got the pieces, you’ve got the confidence, and the ballet pump trend? You just made it your own.
