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.
