I enjoy watching trends evolve, because they mean that an item has moved beyond being a fashion trend and is now a staple in our wardrobes. Ballet flats were one of the biggest trends last year. It may seem strange that a timeless silhouette of shoe could be controversial, but this is the whole point. Many people thought the ballet flats were too timeless to be considered a fashion trend. The mesh ballet flats trend is a new take on the classic style, whether you agree or disagree with this sentiment.
