They're not flats, but still a genius style for summer

Just when you thought you had every summer shoe already in your closet, Anne Hathaway proved otherwise. Forget the sandals, sneakers and ballet flats — though we love all of those, too — because The Odyssey actress is making mesh Mary Janes happen. The smart style is airy, cute and comfortable for a range of occasions this season.

The soon-to-be mom of three was recently spotted in New York City in a breezy green outfit. We couldn’t get over her footwear, though, because they looked like this summer’s hottest shoe trend in the making. That’s why we immediately found a pair we could call our own in the Omlishzty Mesh Mary Jane Pumps.

Mesh shoes have been having a major moment, which makes sense since the purposeful holes offer a cooling style for summer. Typically, though, they’re in the form of flats, so this is a fun combination with the Mary Jane look. There’s a strap across the top of the foot, and the doable block heel allows you to wear them to different events.

Hathaway rocked a pair of white mesh Mary Janes, and you can get a wildly similar vibe with the Amazon find in the same color. That strap with a silver buckle across the foot is adjustable, so you can get the optimal fit so your foot is snug but not too tight. The lookalike is available in sizes 6 to 11 with half sizes, too.

Don’t let the idea of a heel scare you off, because the block style is so much more comfortable to walk in. Plus, with a 2-inch height, you don’t have to save these for a bridal shower or dressed-up occasion. The mesh Mary Janes have landed in the middle of casual and elevated, so there aren’t too many wrong places to wear them. We appreciate the almond-toe silhouette, as it’s another versatile element of the shoe.

We can truly say that mesh Mary Janes are a unique shoe that we haven’t spotted in the wild too much — yet. So, you and Hathaway can be trend leaders for the dog days of summer with the $40 lookalike.
