Tan ballet shoes are a staple, but what’s the best way to style them? Here’s what you need to know about pairing tan shoes with the colours in your wardrobe.
The many shades of tan
Tan is more of a colour range than a specific shade. So, before you decide how to style your tan ballet flats, it’s worth taking the time to figure out what hue you’re working with. Some of the most commonly found shades of tan include:
- Camel, a creamy hue with biscuity undertones
- Whiskey, a slightly darker, richer tone with an almost orange look
- Beige, a paler tan that’s too warm and too saturated to classify as an off-white
- Taupe, a neutral tan shade with a prominent grey base
As a general rule, the richer, redder the tan, the more neutrals and earthy-toned colours you should incorporate. Let’s dive a little deeper.

Frequently asked questions about tan ballet flats
How to wear tan ballet flats with neutrals
Neutrals are a no-brainer – they are the ideal choice for any shade of tan. Pair a white dress with beige shoes or your terracotta wool trousers with your whiskey-toned flats.
While black is neutral, it deserves a category of its own. Black and tan don’t always pair well together, so tread carefully. Try a deep, rich tan hue and a charcoal grey-black. Avoid wearing a true black with cocoa-toned tan or a pale beige shade, as the two may clash.
Which colours work best with tan shoes?
Aside from neutrals, make blues and pinks your top choices. Sounds surprising, we know, but both blue and pink complement the orange-toned warmth of various tan shades.
Let’s start with blue. On the colour wheel, blue is opposite orange – it’s no wonder your camel ballet flats pair so perfectly with your blue jeans. Roll your hem or go for a cropped pair of jeans to elongate your silhouette.
As for pink, choose a soft, pastel pink and a bold tan shade. Again, you want to create contrast.
What are the best tan ballet flats for holidays?
Tan ballet flats are a versatile and trendy option, perfect for any holiday occasion. Their neutral colour allows them to be dressed up or dressed down, depending on the event and they guarantee comfort all night long. The best tan ballet flats are the ones that keep your feet comfortable. When choosing a pair, ensure the toe box allows enough room for your toes to fit comfortably, without too much room for movement. You’ll also want to look for a pair that sits comfortably on your heel, without too much rubbing while you walk. With the correct fit, your new ballet flats will have you dancing the entire holiday season!
