Sometimes you just want to let your outfit do the talking, and that’s where a pair of ‘barely there’ heels comes in handy. A chic and timeless addition to any wardrobe, these shoes stand the test of time.
A pair of ‘naked' sandals prove that sometimes the most minimal designs can have the biggest impact on your overall aesthetic. Endlessly versatile, with delicate straps these are the shoes you will reach for time and time again.

The 'barely there' heels are incredibly versatile
These strappy stilettos work overtime, not only do they neutralise any ensemble and ensure all eyes are on your dress they also work to lengthen the physique. Strappy sandals are back with a vengeance and although we love the ornate lace ups available, sometimes all you need is a pair that are barely-there. Plus the minimal silhouette means they'll go with casual and dressier outfits alike.
Minimal designs can have a big impact
How do I style barely there heels?
If you are looking to lengthen the leg, choose a pair close to your skin tone with as thin straps as possible, making them invisible adds to the optical illusion of 'bare' feet. For special occasions go for metallics, or upgrade your latest party dress with diamante strap heels for that extra wow factor.
