Mesh flats were the trend no one saw coming. All of a sudden, it seemed every celebrity and fashion insider — Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lawrence, Leandra Medine, and so on— was baring their toes in public, strolling around in different iterations of the see-through shoes. Of course, putting your feet on full display isn’t for everyone. If you don’t anticipate adopting the trend any time soon, perhaps summer’s crochet flats look will strike your fancy. Think of these elevated, artisanal-looking (and slightly less revealing) shoes as the mature older sister to playful mesh styles.
Marina Larroude, the founder of Larroudé, saw signs of the trend slowly gaining momentum last summer, and says it’s now hit a fever pitch. “There’s a deeper appreciation now for items that feel intimate and crafted with care,” the footwear aficionado says, explaining why she thinks the silhouette is blowing up. “There’s something inherently joyful and artisanal about crochet — it feels handmade, personal, and full of character. As temperatures rise, people naturally gravitate toward lighter, breathable materials, and crochet gives that open, airy texture while still feeling polished.”
Larroude also points out the shoe’s versatility. “Our customers are styling their crochet flats in beautifully unexpected ways — paired with floaty dresses for beachside lunches, with wide-leg trousers and oversized button-downs for a relaxed city look, and even with tailored pieces for that playful tension between polish and comfort,” the expert says.
