The Best Mesh Ballet Flats for Breezy, Effortless Style

Do y’all ever get online and end up down a rabbit hole, only to emerge hours later? I was searching for trends (that’s what I do for you, Gurls!) and ballet flats were on all of the lists. Then I decided to look up when they were first worn.

Did you know that we have Brigitte Bardot to thank for that? In the 1950s, she asked French designer Rose Repetto to design a pair for her film, And God Created Woman. So then I had to watch the trailer, yada, yada, yada, and my day was blown. Sigh. Anyway, today, I’m sharing the best mesh ballet flats for breezy, effortless style. Like Brigitte!
