Less is More: The Barely There Footwear Trend We're Head Over Heels For
From mesh to macrame, these are the shoes we're coveting.
We're all aboard any fashion trend that promotes the less is more philosophy. Why? Pared-back fashion is sleek, simple and typically pretty comfortable. It will come as no surprise, then, that the barely there footwear trend is one we're more than happy to get behind.
Whether you're dreaming of the Australian summer (move over winter boots) or are packing for an enviable trip to Europe, you'll want to peruse this edit of flats embracing simplicity. From mesh ballet slippers to macrame sandals, we're loving every last pair. Read on for our pick of the bunch.
