Pictured: Alaia patent leather trim mesh ballet flats ($890)
I’ll be honest with you. When I first saw the mesh shoe trend, I wasn’t that crazy about it. I thought, “Oh, it’ll be over in two seconds.” But I can assure you I was wrong. The mesh shoe trend is booming for 2024, with everyone from your favorite celebs to fashion insiders wearing them to no end. Luxury brands like The Row and Alaïa are barely stocking the trend-inspired shoes, and even your favorite affordable brands like Dolce Vita and Sam Edelman are giving the trend a try. After getting a pair for myself, I was hooked. I started keeping an eye out for great mesh flats and found so many options that were too chic to make them my own.
