The Best Le Monde Beryl Shoes That Are in Every Fashion Insider’s Seasonal Rotation

Ballet flats are a certified staple shoe in every capsule wardrobe, and there’s no brand doing them quite like Le Monde Beryl.

In the ever-evolving world of fashion, it’s rare for a brand to swiftly capture the collective attention of style insiders and everyday dressers alike. Yet, Le Monde Beryl has done just that, quickly emerging as a name synonymous with impeccable craftpersonship and understated elegance.

Founded by friends Lily Atherton Hanbury and Katya Shyfrin, the brand reimagines traditional footwear silhouettes with a modern sensibility. What began as a single signature slipper has now expanded into a full range of ballet flats, Mary Janes, loafers, boots, heels and even trainers—each with a distinctive simplicity that has won over fashion editors, stylists and influencers—essentially every fashion person you follow on Instagram.

Whilst the brand’s offering has grown since its beginning, Le Monde Beryl first made its mark with flats, a category that has experienced a huge boom over the past few years—especially ballet flats. Once the go-to shoe of the early 2010s (think Alexa Chung and the Olsen twins), the style is now stronger than ever thanks to Gen Z’s renewed love for Y2K and “indie sleaze” nostalgia.

The spring/summer 2025 runways confirmed the ballet flat’s status, with brands like Miu Miu and Simone Rocha styling them with everything from tailored separates to sheer, ethereal dresses—proving their ability to be both professional yet cool, delicate yet (most importantly) comfortable.

Le Monde Beryl has taken this revival in stride. The brand’s timeless yet directional approach to flats—whether in buttery suede, cool mesh or supple leather—makes every pair a wise investment. With fans like quiet-luxury poster girl Sofia Richie Grainge, the brand has cemented itself as a go-to for those who favour classic footwear with a contemporary twist. We here at Who What Wear UK find ourselves in unanimous agreement—despite our different style preferences, many of us own and love a pair (or two) of Le Monde Beryl shoes.

And it’s not only the signature flats that are worth seeing. The brand’s expansion into loafers, boots and heels, as well as a recent foray into trainers, has been perfectly executed; each style maintains the same attention to quality, detail and design.
