As much fun as the net- and mesh-shoe trend has been this spring and summer, I had to come to terms with the fact that I'd be forced to pack up my carefully curated collection of transparent heels and flats from now until April (if I'm lucky), as I live in New York City. It would be difficult, yes. I had no choice. Then, I saw Pamela Anderson's outfit for her first day in San Sebastián, Spain, where she's attending the 72nd San Sebastián Film Festival to celebrate her latest film The Last Showgirl. Everything I thought I knew about the relationship between net shoes and fall has shifted.
For a screening of the film, Anderson kept her look utterly pared back and minimalistic yet glamorous in an effortless way. In all black, she wore a cashmere crewneck sweater with tailored trousers, oval sunglasses, and a pair of point-toe net stilettos that perfectly complemented her autumnal ensemble. With the outfit, she accessorized with not one but two bags—one leather and another woven—further emphasizing that traditionally summery pieces *can* be repurposed throughout the year. It just takes a creative touch.
Scroll down to shop the best net shoes on the market right now, keeping in mind that they can be worn just as easily with a sundress and A-line poplin skirt as a luxe sweater and pair of trousers. Don't put them in a box. Anderson didn't, and look how chic it turned out.
