Ask Jennifer Lawrence, Sofia Richie, or any Vogue editor, and they’ll tell you that mesh ballet flats are the most coveted shoe of the moment right now. I personally keep clicking refresh on Alaïa’s website in hopes of a restock of the label’s fishnet ballerinas. I’ve even been tempted to preorder them from Moda Operandi, but that means I won’t be able to wear them until spring 2024 because those new colorways are from the brand’s latest collection that debuted at Couture Week earlier this month.
But Alaïa isn’t the only brand making lust-worthy peekaboo ballerina flats. Remember Bottega Veneta’s square-toe take? Although it was released a few years ago, before the movement took off, the modern classic has proven to be a strong investment piece in any wardrobe. Most recently Khaite made us instantly fall in love with its crystal-adorned mesh ballet flats when they debuted in the spring 2023 collection. And our favorite high-end fashion houses aren’t the only ones making sheer flats that are going viral. London-based label Dear Frances crafted a gossamer pair that fits like a glove (or should I say cozy sock) and has quickly become like gold for influencers on Instagram.
The list of coveted, viral mesh ballet flats goes on and on—and rightfully so. I mean, how could anyone say no to a shoe that perfectly marries comfort with style? If you’re looking for ways to indulge in the summery trend, shop our favorite styles all ahead.
