Style Notes – This is the mesh flat shoe colour fashion people are buying
- The trend for black mesh flats, popularised by Alaïa’s fishnet ballerinas, remains strong, with many brands offering their own versions.
- Burgundy mesh flats are gaining traction, as seen on Laura Harrier, who styled them with a white midi skirt and tube top, showcasing their versatility for summer and fall.
- The burgundy colour trend in footwear is expected to continue, making it a smart addition for fashion-conscious shoppers looking to update their wardrobes.
This Is the Mesh Flat Shoe Colour Fashion People Are Buying
At this point, is there a fashion person among us who doesn’t own black mesh flats? Ever since Alaïa released its black fishnet ballerinas and they became an instant cult item, seemingly every other brand on the planet followed up with their version of the trend, whether in fishnet or fine mesh.
Years later, the trend is still going strong, and Alaïa has since inevitably released its iconic flats in a wide variety of iterations and colours. And one of them was recently worn by the always chic Laura Harrier while visiting an Erewhon in L.A.
Harrier’s affinity for burgundy shoes has been well-documented by us here at Who What Wear, and yes, that’s the mesh-flat color she chose to pair with her white bubble midi skirt, white tube top, and Prada Raffia tote. Even though it’s the middle of summer, burgundy continues to be a wildly popular colour trend, especially when it comes to shoes.
So it’s no surprise that a smart shopper such as Harrier would choose burgundy for her new pair of Alaïa ballerinas. But Alaïa isn’t the only brand making mesh flats in burgundy—a plethora of other cool brands are doing the same. And good news—this is a trend you can wear throughout the fall as well.
To sum things up, hold the black mesh flats (because you probably already own them) and add a burgundy pair to your cart. Keep scrolling to see Harrier’s expert styling of the It shoes and shop the trend for yourself.
