If you follow fashion trends, chances are that you purchased a pair of mesh flats at some point over the past 24 months or so, as they’ve been somewhat inescapable. But as with any trend that becomes admittedly oversaturated, you either have to find fresh (or classic) ways to wear it, or set it aside for the time being. Margot Robbie, for one, is choosing the former.

Robbie was photographed in Los Angeles earlier this week, wearing the OG mesh flats: the Alaïa Fishnet Ballet Flats. Robbie opted for the flats in a versatile nude shade, and she styled them in the most timeless of ways: with a knit short-sleeve top in olive green, loose trousers in a light beige color (which perfectly complemented the color of the shoes), and a brown suede The Row Margaux bag. But not to worry—you don’t need these exact pieces. I’d recommend pairing mesh flats with similar sophisticated basics, so a knit short-sleeve top in the rich color of your choice, loose tailored trousers in your favorite neutral hue, a brown suede bag, and whatever fishnet flats you already own.

With that, keep scrolling to see Robbie’s elegant mesh-flats outfit and shop similar pieces.
