Kourtney Kardashian and Zendaya are spotted styling their flat mesh shoes with neutral-toned outfits.
The recent fashion seasons have witnessed the rise of ballerina shoes, also known as ballet flats. Characterized by their flat soles and form-fitting design, these shoes have become a favorite among women for their comfort and feminine appeal.
Mesh ballet flats, or see-through shoes, are predicted to dominate the fashion industry in the upcoming seasons. Several fashion magazines, including VOGUE UK, Harper’s BAZAAR, and Who What Wear, have described this trend as “controversial,” sparking debates about its aesthetic value.
Jennifer Lawrence is a devoted fan of transparent shoes, often sporting different brands during her street style moments.
The popularity of flat mesh shoes can be attributed to the non-shoes trend, which emphasizes the concept of “barely-there” footwear with minimal designs, prioritizing comfort and breathability. Renowned fashion houses such as The Row, Alaïa, Miu Miu, Khaite, and Bottega Veneta have embraced this trend, alongside high-street fashion brands like Zara and Mango, which have released their own versions of mesh shoes in their latest collections.
The IT shoes from Alaïa, priced at over VND 22 million, are considered a masterpiece, offering both breathability and a fashionable look. Celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lawrence, Dakota Johnson, and Kourtney Kardashian have been spotted rocking these trendy shoes.
Three out of four members of the famous K-pop group BLACKPINK have been embracing the mesh shoe trend since May. Rosé was the quickest to adopt this trend, sporting a pair of be-colored mesh shoes embellished with stones from Khaite, priced at over VND 24 million. These shoes added a stylish touch to her casual outfits.
Jennie from BLACKPINK also showcased her love for see-through shoes during her trip to Capri, Italy, in July.
Jennie was spotted strolling the streets in a feminine light green outfit, paired with mesh shoes from Khaite, similar to the ones worn by Rosé. However, Jennie opted for a more delicate and subtle design, featuring embroidered flowers.
Jennie exuded a bolder, more assertive style in an all-black ensemble, including sunglasses, a figure-hugging slip dress, and flat mesh shoes made of leather from Alaïa, priced at over VND 27 million.
Lisa from BLACKPINK recently joined the mesh shoe trend, sporting a pair of flat mesh shoes from Alaïa with eye-catching gold accessories on the straps while appearing on Lee Youngji’s No Prepare Season 3 show. Earlier, in August, Lisa created a buzz on social media with her “cottagecore princess” look during her vacation in Italy. She completed her rustic look with a pair of simple mesh shoes from miista, priced at over VND 9 million.
Lisa has been a proponent of the non-shoes trend during her vacations. About a year ago, she made a fashion statement while strolling the streets of Paris, France, wearing clear jelly sandals.
