Ask Sofia Richie Grainge, Jennifer Lawrence, the Olsen twins, or any stylish Vogue editor if they own a pair of mesh flats—or “naked shoes”—and they’ll likely list off their favorites along with new styles they’re eyeing. While mesh ballet flats soared in popularity in early 2024, The Row first brought them into the spotlight back in 2019. Now, variations of the trend have emerged, from crochet knits to embellished designs, making them a warm-weather staple.
