Makeup is all about illusion and trickery. But though a dusting of powder’s a no-brainer for your nose, what do you do to enhance your toes?

Think of TKees, a new flip-flop line, as a swipe of foundation for the feet (skeptics, bear with us). Based on the well-known fact that nude shoes make legs look longer, the slip-ons come in an array of neutral hues that match your skin tone and punctuate your pedicure.

From Seashell for the palest pins to Beachbum for sun-kissed limbs, the simple sandals are a one-trick pony for sultry summer legs. Pair them with everything from floaty summer dresses to short shorts or a bikini: they’re made of the softest organic leather and suede, so they even feel like a second skin.

We’ll be snapping them up in two colours to match our pre- and postholiday skin. It’s a trend we predict will have legs.
