The 'naked' shoe trend is everywhere right now and we've got the DL on how to rock the look
Full-coverage shoes? No thanks.
The celeb-approved naked shoe trend wants us to bare our all this summer—and by all, we mean our feet. Here's why you should consider adding some see-through footwear to your capsule wardrobe...
It seems our love for sheer dresses is officially spreading, as clear and barely-there shoes are having a bit of a moment right now. In fact, they're joining the likes of ballet flats and Adidas Samba sneakers on the list of must-have springtime footwear.
Celebs from Jennifer Aniston to Gigi Hadid have all rocked the naked shoe trend, pairing their event and red carpet looks with clear, vinyl heels. So, if you're looking to recreate their sheer style, here's all our fave celeb outfits and where to shop your own pair of naked shoes...
The 'naked' shoe trend
The naked shoe trend effectively refers to minimal coverage shoes, either completely see-through, so that they show your entire foot or heels for instance, that have just one thin strap—leaving the rest of your foot exposed to the elements.
This style of shoe is handy when you really want your outfit to do the talking and don't want your footwear to distract —or if you're just looking to inject a hint of Y2K fashion into your fit.
See-through shoes are also seriously versatile because they're basically invisible, so they go with everything from silver fashion to bright dopamine-dressing shades like cobalt blue and hot pink. In case you need proof of their wearability, we come with receipts...

MIL's edit of chic naked shoes
So, if you're looking to add some super subtle, almost invisible shoes to your closet, which can act as backup footwear to pair with literally any outfit—from jeans to dresses—here's where to shop your own, on a budget!
ZARA High Heeled Vinyl Sandals
RRP: $49.90
These clear heels are perfect for pulling off the 'naked' shoe trend. These will seamlessly pair with skirts, trousers and dresses, without stealing focus.
Though do keep in mind that clear, vinyl shoes can steam up a bit if you're feet get hot...available in sizes 5 to 11.
BAR III Women's Cayymen Ball Heel Sandals
RRP: $69.50
These shoes are seriously cool, with their see-through strap and clear ball heel.
They're both a statement shoe, but will pretty much compliment any outfit.
ZARA Heeled Sling-back Vinyl Shoe
RRP: $69.90
The clear shoes feature a copper tint, with a rhinestone strap, pointy toe and kitten heel.
These would look so chic paired with some suit pants and a blazer. Available in sizes 6 to 10.
If you're not a lover of the vinyl look, you can also channel this trend with a pair of minimal coverage, strappy heels...
NA-KD Glossy Patent Strappy Heels
RRP: $69.95
These black heel feature one strap over the toes, with a lace-up ankle strap, meaning most of your foot is exposed—perfect for a summery, date-night look.
& Other Stories Heeled Leather Mule Sandal
RRP: $129
These mules are also perfect if you're looking for a subtle shoes.
They feature a slip-on design, with just one strap over the toes and a kitten heel.
If you're not a lover of parading your bare feet about though, we'd advise skipping this trend and sticking with pumps this spring...
