TikTok is one of the platforms par excellence when it comes to detecting new trends in fashion and beauty, learning tricks that can solve a problem with clothing or learning how to successfully combine clothes and accessories. One of the influencers who is an expert in this sector is Carmen Santaella, who a few weeks ago shared with her followers her tricks for having the perfect fall wardrobe with basic designs.
In addition, the fashion journalist also resolves the doubts raised by her fans on the social network, such as the differences between Mary Janes, ballerinas and ballet flats. This was one of the questions that one of her followers asked her to know how to distinguish these three types of footwear that may seem the same at first glance.
"They are three completely different things. Well, okay, not completely different because the differences are very subtle," explains Santaella in a video that has accumulated thousands of views. As she points out, ballerinas owe their origin to the footwear of ballet professionals. "That's why they are always very flat, very thin and with a completely rounded toe," explains the tiktoker, who shows one of Chanel's most iconic shoes.
On the other hand, when this footwear has a sharp toe and a strap on the instep, we are no longer referring to ballet flats, but to Mary Janes or Mary Janes, a model that is very fashionable this year and that practically all fashion brands and footwear have included in their season collections.
Finally, Carmen makes a difference between ballerinas and ballet flats. The latter usually have a wider sole, even with a bit of a heel, and are much harder than ballet flats. In addition, the tip is not so rounded and they owe their name to the bullfighter Manolete, who wore this design for bullfighting. "The flats do not have straps that cross the instep or an ankle strap," she points out.
To put this lesson from Santaella into practice, we propose three different types of footwear that are part of this fall-winter collections and that are perfect to wear at any time of the day, especially for long work days or for an informal plan. of the weekend.
