If you’ve been following the flat-shoe revival<\/a> of the past few years, you’ll know that ballet flats<\/a> burst onto the scene a few years back, edging out heels in the process. As the trend evolved, studded, suede and satin iterations joined the mix, then, eventually, woven and perforated styles gained momentum too<\/a> as brands continued to reimagine the classic silhouette.<\/p>\n Now, for summer 2026<\/a>, Emma Watson<\/a> has introduced me to a chic shoe trend breaking through next. Following the woven ballet-flat movement that’s dominated recent seasons, Watson stepped out in Venice wearing a pair of huarache flats. Hailing from Mexico, the traditional shoes feature a woven, closed-toe design that falls inbetween a fisherman sandal and a leather loafer. Offering all the polish of a classic loafer with a breezier, more relaxed feel, the style feels perfectly suited to the warmer months ahead.<\/p>\n (Image credit: Backgrid)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n For a stroll through Venice’s streets, Watson paired the traditional shoes with a Pink City Prints Pyjama Set (\u00a3145)<\/a>. From there, she stacked on a beaded necklace and finished with a charming pair of cherry earrings.<\/p>\n
