WHEN THE SUMMER HEAT sets in, make a fashion statement that looks good with everything: go nude. (Keep your shirt on, people—we’re talking about shoes.) This season, lighten up your wardrobe with peep-toes and polished pumps in barely-there shades of beige, camel, and pink. You’ll be in good company: A-listers like Penelope Cruz and Angelina Jolie have been strutting their nude-hued heels on red carpets from Hollywood to Cannes.

These skin-toned neutrals pair famously with prints and pastels, not to mention perennially hard-to-complement colors like navy and red. Best of all, flesh-colored footwear adds critical length to those bare summer legs.
