Pictured: Alaïa Patent Leather-Trimmed Mesh Ballet Flats ($890)
I’ll admit it. When I first saw the mesh-shoe trend, I wasn’t that into it. I thought, “Oh, this will be over in two seconds.” I’m not afraid to say I was wrong. The mesh-shoe trend has taken off for 2024, and everyone from your favorite celebrities to the fashion set can’t get enough of them. Luxury brands like The Row and Alaïa can barely keep their takes on the trend in stock, and our favorite affordable brands like Dolce Vita and Sam Edelman have taken their stab at it as well. After getting my hands on a pair myself, I was hooked. I started keeping my eye out for great mesh flats and have found so many chic options I couldn’t keep them to myself.
