No More Need for Black Mesh Flats—Stylish Dressers Are Opting for This Color Now

      At this stage, is there anyone in fashion who doesn't have a pair of black mesh flats? Since Alaïa introduced its black fishnet ballerinas, which quickly became a cult classic, nearly every brand has created its own take on the trend, whether in fishnet or delicate mesh. Years later, the trend remains strong, and Alaïa has, of course, launched its legendary flats in numerous styles and colors. Recently, the always-stylish Laura Harrier was spotted wearing one of these variations during a visit to an Erewhon in L.A. Harrier's love for burgundy shoes has been well-noted by us at Who What Wear, and indeed, that was the mesh flat color she chose to combine with her white bubble midi skirt, white tube top, and Prada Raffia tote. Despite it being summer, burgundy continues to be a highly sought-after color trend—particularly for footwear. Thus, it makes sense that a savvy shopper like Harrier would opt for burgundy for her new Alaïa ballerinas. However, Alaïa is not the only brand producing burgundy mesh flats; many other trendy labels are offering similar styles. And the good news is that this is a trend you can carry into the fall as well. To summarize, skip the black mesh flats (since you likely already have a pair) and pick up a burgundy version instead.
