Fishnet mesh upper gives the classic ballet flat a distinctly modern edge, with the open-weave construction sitting over the foot for a layered, textural finish Faux patent leather trim frames the toe and forms the Mary Jane strap, the high-shine finish contrasting sharply against the matte mesh beneath Single adjustable buckle strap fastens across the instep, holding the shoe securely in place without fuss Flat sole with a heel height of 0-2cm - built for all-day wear without sacrificing the neat, polished shape of a ballet flat Rounded toe sits close to the foot, keeping the silhouette trim whether worn with cropped trousers or a midi skirt The Kiki sits at the point where ballet-flat practicality meets something with a bit more intention behind it. The fishnet upper means it reads differently from every other flat in the wardrobe - there's a transparency to it that works especially well when worn with sheer or semi-sheer socks, leaning into the layered look the shoe already suggests. On the model here, they're paired with wide-leg straight jeans that graze the top of the shoe, which is one of the cleaner ways to wear them - the toe peeks out just enough. They'd work equally well with a floaty midi dress and bare legs for warmer days, or tucked under tailored wide-leg trousers for a casual Friday at the office. The Mary Jane strap adds enough structure to stop them reading as purely casual, making them a reliable choice for family gatherings, afternoon events, or simply running errands in something that looks considered. | Dorothy Perkins Faith: Kiki Netted Faux Patent Leather Ballet Flat In True Black
