Spring has finally arrived, bringing with it pencil skirts, one of the season’s top trends. Suddenly, everyone from Camila Morrone to Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid is wearing the look with knee-high boots and open-toe heeled mules. However, Jennifer Lopez recently joined the trend, styling her pencil skirt with what she considers the perfect pairing for it: mesh flats.
While leaving The Maybourne Beverly Hills, J.Lo was spotted in a sleek all-black outfit. Specifically, she wore a satin tank top tucked into a high-waisted black pencil skirt. She accessorized the look with oversize sunglasses, a Dior Lady Bag, and Christian Louboutin suede-and-mesh ballet flats. J.Lo’s choice to style the skirt with flats, specifically a mesh pair, demonstrates the skirt’s versatility and offers a chic way to dress the style down this spring and summer.

The key to finding the perfect mesh flats for pencil skirts is to focus on styles that feature tightly woven mesh rather than open, net-like crochet designs. For added elegance and a flattering effect, look for specific details: solid colors, a pointed toe, and a V-cut vamp to create a streamlined effect.
