A. Why these Audrey-esque ballet flats took so long to make a fashion comeback I'll never know, but suffice it to say, I, along with millions of women everywhere, are glad they did. A welcome relief from foot-unfriendly heels, ballet flats are not only comfy, but fabulously stylish, too. Best worn with cropped pants, which are super hot this fall, as well as pencil pants, skirts and dresses, there's nothing flat about their sweet and charming style.
