If you don’t like these little pumps, go ahead, loathe them, hate them, hiss at them as you window-shop, if that’s what you’re called to do. This isn’t Mean Girls, and Djerf certainly is not Regina George. I’m not part of that narrative.” Other content creators, giddy to revive the trend, immediately began styling their flats with leg warmers and billowy pants and straight-leg jeans.Ī post shared by MATILDA DJERF the thing: Just because you saw Djerf wearing ballet flats doesn’t mean you need to start wearing ballet flats. Another wanted to remind us slipper veterans of the woes we experienced while wearing them: “Before you buy a pair of ballet flats, I want you to remember the feeling of a sweaty foot, your sweaty-ass heel popping out of a ballet flat in the summer.” Sarel Madzebra told her followers, “You can slap whatever label you want on it. “Now that Matilda Djerf has brought them back, they’re back,” one said. TikTok users went into a polarized frenzy. In July, influencer Matilda Djerf wore a pair of black Chanel ballet slippers. Throughout the year, trend forecasters and general fashion-adjacent consumers have been spotting the resurgence of the ballet flat as a “trendy” article of clothing (but, let the record show, some people never stopped wearing them! That’s on having a sense of personal style!). In early 2022, Vogue asked its readers, “Are We Ready for a Ballet Flat Comeback?” On some inconsequential day, I put them in the back of my closet, somewhere in my graveyard of collared shirts and capris, and forgot about their existence - at least until the discourse began. No one had ever been trendier or more fashionable than my 12-year-old self in that moment, and it was all thanks to my little ballet flats that had zero arch support and made my feet sweat like Kanye West wearing winter clothes in the summer. I felt like Gisele Bündchen in that outfit. I’d pair them with a pair of Bermuda shorts and an Empire-waist baby-doll blouse.
They were my favorite and, from what I recall, were brown and sparkly and left a trail of glitter most places I went - a calling card of sorts. In middle school, I had a pair of ballet flats from the Limited Too.
