We’ve seen transparent and mesh flats dominate before, but now crochet is stealing the show with a fresh, elegant twist. Celebrities like Dua Lipa, Jennifer Lawrence, and Leandra Medine have been rocking mesh flats, but crochet offers something a bit more refined and sophisticated. It’s the perfect mix of comfort and style, making these flats a must-have for your summer wardrobe.

What makes crochet flats so special? They have that handmade vibe, are breathable for those hot summer days, and bring timeless charm to any outfit. Whether you’re hitting the beach or strolling through the city, these shoes add a subtle artistic and emotional touch.

So why is crochet suddenly everywhere? Marina Larroude, the founder of Larroudé, says it’s about more than just looking good. People want unique pieces that feel personal and handcrafted. Crochet, with its open-knit design, perfectly answers that craving while keeping your feet cool and comfy.

These flats are incredibly versatile too. Pair them with a flowy dress and a straw bag for a boho summer look or wear them with wide-leg pants and an oversized shirt for a chic city vibe. They also match beautifully with pastel skirts and lace tops if you’re feeling romantic or add a gentle contrast to tailored suits for a modern twist. From day to night, beach to office, crochet ballet flats are ready to become your new go-to summer shoe.
