The glory days of uncomplicated air travel have long since disappeared into the great blue yonder. With a six hour wade through security, meals that leave anorexics pining for more, and overhead storage that won’t even hold your new Perlina carry-on, it’s amazing that anyone arrives at their destination, much less, arrives with style. Kick the terminal blues with chic footwear that gets you through your commute in cool comfort.

Fashionable ballet flats are so much more than their name implies. Audrey Hepburn guaranteed these 16th century inventions a spot in the modern fashion lexicon in her film Funny Face. Her effortless look, skinny jeans and flats, set a standard, but don’t stop there. As casual or dressy as your ensemble dictates, they are safer (and sassier!) than flip flops, keeping your toes protected and your pedicure flawless. Adding panache without height, ballet flats allow jet-setters to stay comfortable without sacrificing style.

The truth is Salvatore Ferragamo’s Varina Patent Leather Ballet Flats are a must for any savvy traveler, perfect for slipping on and off at a security checkpoint, as well as for the occasional sprint to your connecting gate. Made in Italy, this glossy ballet flat comes in several shades, with an adorable Vara bow and logo-embossed ornament decorating the front. The supple leather lining and padded insole keep your feet cozy and secure on a long journey, and the half-inch heel can dress up a pair of jeans or effortlessly complement a sundress.

Ballet flats are the essential footwear for the girl on the go. Slip into a pair of Varina flats and your toes will thank you.
