10/31/2024
Our beloved ballet flat has had a makeover this summer and this is one trend you won’t want to miss … Say hello to mesh. Don’t be intimidated—our Surfbird mesh ballet flat has been designed to be seriously supportive while still keeping you oh-so-stylish. Available in red, white, and black mesh, these ballet flats are versatile enough to fit into any wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or running errands, there are countless ways to style this trend.
Here are some of our favourite ways to wear mesh ballet flats using pieces you probably already own.
Monotone White:
Chic and Timeless
You can never go wrong with a head-to-toe white ensemble, especially when incorporating mesh ballet flats for a modern twist. The lightness of the mesh pairs beautifully with lace or other delicate textures, creating a layered look that feels fresh and airy. The white mesh ballet flats add dimension and depth to an otherwise minimalist outfit, making this a perfect choice for summer outings or casual brunches.
With a Blazer:
From Work to Weekend
Take your favourite oversized blazer and style it with mesh ballerina shoes for an effortlessly chic office look. Combining wardrobe staples with trendy pieces like the Surfbird mesh flats keeps your look current without feeling overdone. The flats' breathable design is perfect for long days at the office or casual meetings, while still offering the support you need to stay comfortable all day long.
With Linen or Loungewear:
Travel in Comfort
Whether you're lounging at home, on holiday, or boarding a plane, the Surfbird mesh ballet flat feels like the closest thing to wearing slippers out of the house. Pair these mesh ballet shoes with loose-fit pants or linen trousers, and throw on a cozy cardigan for a laid-back yet polished travel look. These flats are perfect for anyone who prioritizes both comfort and style, making them an ideal choice for your next trip.
With a Graphic Tee:
Embrace the Grunge Aesthetic
For a more casual, edgy look, try pairing white mesh ballet flats with an oversized graphic tee and a midi skirt. This unexpected combination of grunge and ballet styles brings balance to the outfit, giving you an on-trend yet unique vibe. The white mesh ballet flats add a subtle, delicate touch that contrasts with the edginess of the tee, making this look ideal for street style moments.
With a Little Black Dress:
Simplicity with a Twist
Who says date night means wearing heels? Elevate your little black dress with a pair of mesh ballet flats for an understated yet elegant look. We are loving the black mesh ballet flats for a monochrome effect or you could opt for a pop of red or white, this pairing ensures both comfort and sophistication. Add your favourite statement bag, and you're ready for anything from a romantic dinner to cocktails with friends.
