Minimalism never looked so good.

If you’ve scrolled through your Instagram feed lately, you might have noticed that among the dozens of chunky dad sneakers and brightly colored mules, fashion insiders have been rocking a refreshingly minimalist style: the barely-there sandal. We’re dubbing this the “naked shoe” trend, wherein the straps are designed to cling ever so slightly to your feet. The foot is the star of the show here (along with the luscious tan you’ve been working on all summer), and, of course, an eye-popping pedicure. It’s elegant and simple and makes us want to get to the beach as fast as we can to shed our shoes altogether. There’s still time—summer isn’t over yet! Check out the 12 styles we’re loving right now.
