For accessories that feel both contemporary and timeless, turn to Dear Frances, which takes its name from cofounder Jane Frances who launched the label with her husband Scott O’Connor in 2016. The brand’s mesh flats are a cult-favorite for a reason: they’re a versatile ballerina shape available in an array of shades, from classic monochromes to trending hues (sky blue, olive, Chianti red) that seamlessly fit into any modern wardrobe.
If you’re already familiar with the Balla shape, consider the pump version if you like a subtle heel, the crystal-embellished ballerina if you want something more punchy, or the new lace-up trainer if you prefer a sportier vibe. Loafers, boots, and mesh totes round out Dear Frances’s confidently minimalist offerings—discover a curation of core favorites below, and shop the rest of the new collection for less as an Insider, below.
