Ballerina flats are a great choice if you love to add flair to your outfits with patterns and prints.' Manolo Blahnik has upped the ante with some tasteful takes on traditional prints. Their 'Suede Ballerina Flats' in leopard print will go with just about any daytime outfit, especially a pair of brown tights and a long linen tunic in white.

Feeling a little bit dangerous? Go for Manolo's 'Tere Camo' ballerina flats. They are sure to create a stealthy ensemble out of any arrangement you can put together. Camouflage is classy this season, especially when paired with dark-washed boot cut jeans and an off-the-shoulder boatneck sweater in black. Go for the disheveled look with your hair and get ready to fight off the oncoming suitors!
For your inner-serpent, we recommend the 'Snake Print Reva' ballerina flats from Tory Burch. These bad boys come with a touch of metallic bling in a logo-embellished toe. The snake-printed leather is further enhanced with zigzag tonal topstitching and an elastic heel for the perfect fit. Slither your way to dinner when you pair these kicks with a shimmery mid-calf halter dress in grey.
If the savannah is more your speed, you'll simply love the 'Miss Marc Patent' ballerina flats in black and white zebra-print patent leather. And just for fun, Marc Jacobs has added a sassy pirate animation to the toe!' It takes a daring woman to go on safari through the city in these, but when paired with a casual black camisole and leggings, you can do no wrong! For a little extra wildlife, carry your knickknacks in a zebra-print shoulder bag and switch to a black and white clutch in the evening.
For a little less animal, and a bit more texture, we love Kate Spade's 'Narina Sequined Rafia' ballerina flats. The glossy patent leather piping nicely balances the woven raffia and the sequin bow at the tow is crowned with a tonal emerald-cut rhinestone. The combined elements of texture and sparkle make these ballerina flats the perfect choice for daytime brunches, formal dinners, and just about everywhere you'd like to be stylish in between!
