When the temperatures climb but your schedule still involves walking more than a few blocks, mesh ballet flats strike the perfect balance between comfort and style. Thanks to their breathable construction, these flats feel lighter and airier than traditional ballet flats, making them an ideal choice for long walks, commutes, and hot summer days—particularly pairs with padded footbeds and secure straps that help ensure they won’t go flying off your feet.
Mesh ballet flats have become a favorite among celebrities and fashion insiders alike, with stars like Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Lawrence, Margot Robbie, and Kendall Jenner embracing the airy, effortlessly chic style.
Stylists love the trend for its versatility: These shoes are lightweight enough for hot summer days, comfortable enough for all-day wear, and polished enough to pair with everything from jeans and a white tee to breezy dresses and tailored shorts.
While the trend has roots in the ’90s and early 2000s, today’s mesh ballet flats feel decidedly modern. Brands like Madewell, Coconuts by Matisse, Sam Edelman, and Reformation have all put their own spin on the silhouette, offering everything from true ballet flats, slingback styles, Mary Jane straps and even floral embroidery and cap-toe details. Even better? Many of our favorite pairs are currently on sale, making now the perfect time to try the trend for yourself.
