It's not quite *wear sandals everywhere weather* just yet. And even if it is where you live, you might not be ready to be fully toes out.

Luckily, there's a style of shoe that's perfect for this transitional time that's made a welcome comeback (they were huge in the '90s/'00s) lately that we couldn't help but notice: mesh ballet flats.

It's a pretty straightforward concept, they're ballet flats that are made of mesh for a fun see-through effect. But these are actually anything but basic! We found pairs in a slingback style, with Mary Jane straps, floral embroidery, cap toe details and more.

Plus, many of our favorites are on sale right now!
