Kourtney Kardashian's Flats Are the Antithesis of Trendy

published 31 July 2024

I always try to appeal to a wide range of fashion lovers with my stories. Sometimes I cover controversial red carpet trends and other times I appeal to more classic dressers. This particular article falls into the latter category. Kourtney Kardashian was just photographed in New York City wearing an anti-trend outfit comprised of a tan trench coat, black short dress, mini bag, and ballet flats.

I immediately focused on her shoes because they are the definition of timeless. Simple, unadorned black ballet flats will never go out of style. They've stood the test of time over the years, ranging from Audrey Hepburn in the '50s to Kate Moss in the '90s. Trends may come and go, but black ballet flats will endure. Scroll down to see Kourtney Kardashian's newest outfit in NYC and shop pieces to re-create her classic look.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
