If you find it impossible to choose between sneakers and ballet flats to complement your jeans, trousers, or skirts, we have the perfect style solution for you: enter the ballet sneaker. And who better to showcase this chic shoe trend than Jennifer Lawrence, a long-time lover of both sneakers and flats?
This week, while out and about in New York City with a friend, Lawrence was spotted sporting a casually cool look that perfectly balanced comfort and style. She paired a printed jacket and a baseball cap with black trousers. The finishing touch? Wales Bonner’s Mary Jane Flat Sneakers.
