The Reign of Mesh Flats Continues—Here Are 16 to Shop

The Designer Choice

The Row Mesh Sock Flat in Black

The shoe that started it all. Like many new things in fashion, the mesh shoe trend came from the minds of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, whose slightly perverse take on everyday dressing has won over Kendall Jenner and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. This pair resembles hosiery and comes in a few colors (if you can find them in stock, that is).

Sizes: 6-11

Colors: Black, ivory

Material: Leather and synthetic upper, lining and sole

The Viral Instagram Favorite

Dear Frances Balla Mesh Ballet Flat

It’s likely you first became aware of the mesh flats trend because of this beauty from Dear Frances, which seemingly took the Instagram world by storm. The shape is classic, and the vamp (the area over your toes) is just enough to make this trend approachable. We imagine these going incredibly well with a pair of wide-leg trousers or jeans.

Sizes: 5-12

Colors: White, Black

Material: Textile upper, textile and leather lining, leather sole
