There’s a new footwear trend in town — and have no fear, not only is it comfortable, but it’s affordable, too. For summer, the classic ballet flat trend arrives in heat-proof materials like breathable mesh and lightweight weaves. While the silhouette gives high-end and is all over designer collections right now — like Bottega Veneta and Alaïa, for example — trusty Old Navy proves the elevated look doesn’t have to break the bank, with must-own seasonal styles discounted up to 40% off, now.

The glove flat fits exactly as it sounds: a closed-toe, hugging silhouette that envelopes the foot comfortably but securely, and can be rendered out of just about any textile.
