As the temperatures heat up, I can’t wait to style a certain kind of footwear: the crochet shoe. No longer reserved for beach bags, this versatile material is getting a seriously chic refresh. Not only are they remarkably lightweight and breathable, they pair seamlessly with just about anything in my summer wardrobe.
My current go-to is a neutral woven flat that complements all of my favorite staples—from breezy linen sets and casual spring dresses to formal wear. These styles lend a soft, almost organic touch to any look and can be dressed up or down with ease.
But the real highlight? These shoes are insanely comfortable! The pairs I own mold naturally to my feet, meaning I can walk for miles without discomfort. Whether you prefer an airy, open-weave slingback or a snug ballet flat, there’s an option to suit every style and occasion.
Scroll on to discover our curated selection of the comfiest styles that are sure to dial up the drama and elevate your summer ensembles.
Sleek Woven Ballerina Flats
You can never go wrong with a practical, effortlessly chic ballerina flat. Wrap your feet in cloud-soft comfort with a macramé style finished with a feminine bow detail or an elastic strap, or opt for supple leather with a breathable weave. Pair Ulla Johnson’s Isobel flat with tailored culottes and a crisp cotton blouse for an elegant, desk-to-dinner look. Heading somewhere sunnier? Alaïa’s metallic woven flats are made for breezy evenings and summer strolls.
