Jennifer Lopez Wore the Pretty Flat Shoe Trend People Can't Stop Talking About

Jennifer Lopez doesn't wear flats (aside from sneakers) very often, so when she does cosign a flat shoe trend, you know it must be important. The trend I'm referring to is sheer ballet flats, which are typically constructed from mesh. Naturally, we've already covered the sheer flats trend here at Who What Wear (we're fans of it). The problem is that they keep selling out because people (like me) keep talking about it. But back to J.Lo.
While out in L.A. this week, Lopez wore sheer black Christian Louboutin flats, which are now sold out, sadly. She paired them with cropped wide-leg jeans and a black turtleneck. While it was more of a fall outfit, J.Lo does what she wants. The flats added a trendy element to her otherwise low-key outfit, and we predict plenty of people will search for a pair of mesh flats in their size after seeing it. Scroll to do just that.
