Hello, autumn: Zara says goodbye to sandals with these trendy shoes that we will wear with jeans, skirts and dresses

Posted on 20 September 2026

Although there are still days of summer, autumn is already beginning to make itself felt, and with it, it is time to change your wardrobe and put the sandals in the shoe rack until next season. Zara is already clear about which footwear will be the protagonist in the coming months, not only because it is a trend, but also because it is the ideal transitional shoe: ballet flats, ideal to wear now without socks and with them when the temperatures drop even further.

They are indeed a classic and simple shoe, but that does not mean that they cannot undergo changes to adapt to the canons of the moment. And in 2026/2027, ballerinas are inspired by Mary Janes to steal one of their star details, the buckle. In this way, we mix the comfort of going flat with that aura naive so typical of the Mery Janes.

And this chocolate brown leather model that just arrived in the store is a clear example of what this combo works: they look comfortable, romantic, minimalist and elegant. Therefore, they have all the points to become our 24/7 from now to winter (and beyond) for 39.95 euros.

Mary Jane ballerinas are so versatile that we can combine them with jeans, shorts, dress pants and of course, skirts and midi dresses. For example, this check design on the armholes – which allows a white shirt underneath when it gets cold – reminds us of Rachel Green's nineties style and goes perfectly with high boots or with our Zara ballet flats, for 22.99 euros.
