So awhile ago I purchased these green lanvin flats and returned them because I was not sure what to wear with them. Well since the original return, I ordered and returned them again. The reason I returned and reordered and returned is I tend to stick with the basic shoe colors black,brown, white, and navy, thus the green is out of my comfort zone. But I can't stop thinking about these shoes!!

So if you stylish ladies and gents could help me with what to wear with these shoes that would be great! Maybe this will kill the deal or seal the deal with the green lanvin ballet flats once and for all.

P.S. J.crew is my style--preppy chic

Thanks so much in advance
 
They are adorable! Wear them with brown, green, black even plums or purples! Since you said J Crew is your style - think about the J Crew argyle sweaters. They often mix green with yellow, tan, brown, navy and almost any of the fall colors!

Good luck!
 
I love the flats, and would definitely keep them. You sound like me. You buy something....you're not sure about the purchase, so you return it........then you regret it,.....and re-buy it again. This is the story of my life!!! The flats would be adorable with jeans, black, navy........just to name a few colors they would go with. Keep them..........if you return them again, you might not be so lucky to find them again, and they will end up being the "ones that got away" :heart::heart::heart:
 
I think those should be pretty easy to style once you start playing with them. You can wear them with jeans, black pants, or navy pants and just about any top. They'd look cute with jeans, a graphic tee, and a black blazer; with navy pants and a cream v-neck sweater; with black pants and an argyle sweater...

I saw a girl wearing an adorable outfit at work a couple of weeks ago -- gray sweater, black pants, and yellow patent ballet flats. I loved the pop of color that the flats gave to her simple outfit. Your green flats could play up all sorts of simple outfits.
 
i have this same shoes. i usually wear them with jeans or skinny cropped black pants, but you can wear them with anything! the green is a great pop of color.
 
I would wear those with everything!! Literally, everything. I like neutral colors and then I POP my outfits with a great colored bag or shoes. That's a great green and you made a good choice in keeping them.

Blue jeans, skirts, shorts, pants, skinny jeans, blue, tan, brown, black, white, grey, orange, beige, almost ANYTHING... don't be afraid to experiment!
 
I have these flats and love them! If you're style is preppy, I agree with the J. Crew argyle sweater idea... I'm sure you can find one with a bit of green in it, which would be nice... add some dark blue jeans and you're set. A pair of skinny jeans (black, grey, dark blue), cute tee and boyfriend blazer is another option. I've worn mine with some skinny black jeans, a white tee with a cool necklace and a charcoal grey Vince blazer. Of course, you can go wrong with a classic button down and jeans.

This particular shade of green is great because it isn't super bright, but at the same time, it's nowhere near an olive (harder to match IMO and not my favorite color for a shoe). I'd wear them as a pop of color with navy, black, grey, yellow (paler), brown, camel, cream, white, etc.! You have a lot of options!
 
i love them. very nice. and aren't lanvin flats just tdf because of their comfort? sigh.. so much love. (hehe). you can wear these with anything! flats don't always have to match an outfit.. often ill wear cobalt blue flats with a red cardi.. and i dont look strange, i promise. try out different colour pallets and i'm sure you'll find tons of options in your comfort zone.
