Anne Hathaway Is Convincing Us to Add These Breathable Flats to Our Shoe Collection — Get Similar Pairs from $45

We’re calling it: Fishnet ballerinas will be a celebrity favorite this summer.

Just ask Anne Hathaway, who wore black fishnet shoes as she strolled around New York last week. She styled her shoes with a black vest, a flowy midi skirt and a woven sun hat. Mesh shoes are a great choice for warm weather because, thanks to the transparent fabric, they allow the feet to breathe.

The on-trend shoes were also spotted on Jennifer Lawrence and Zendaya, who both sported a slightly elevated relaxed fit wearing their wide leg flats and baggy crop tops.

These black Steve Madden Dreaming Mary Janes are very similar to Hathaway’s because of the wide faux leather strap. They come in sizes 5 to 14 and a variety of mesh colors, including two with floral embellishments and threading for a dressier vibe. Note that some reviewers note that suites are half the size, so consider ordering a larger number.

“Beautiful shoe, adds something different to the ballerina trend,” wrote one customer. “[They are] very comfortable and cool looking.”

For a more polished take on the trend, consider these Sam Edelman flats, which feature a polished almond toe, a statement silver buckle, and a small heel. In addition, leather details along the straps and edges make the shoes elevated. You can also wear them more casually by taking a page out of Zendaya’s style book and styling them with flared pants and a lightweight top.

“Ballet flats are like jeans to me… I’m always looking for the ‘right pair’ and along the way I buy a lot of things that I regret. That’s it,” said one customer. “I like that it will work in both winter and fall with sheer socks. I walked around with the kids all weekend in these and my feet weren’t uncomfortable.”
