Designers want us to get our feet out of hiding and bare all in mesh heels, cage heels and lace heels.

It is the quickest way to get into a lighter summer look when paired with a pedicure. For all the features on the hottest summer 2010 nail varnish trends and shades in the Nail Polish Files segment here.

Mesh heels are so alluring. Katie Lombardo’s mesh heels and the Candela mesh shoes with stud embellishment really stand out to me.

Need a mood lift? Karen Millen get it right with the suede cage heels. It is available in black but it is the red pair that has my shoe closet weeping.
Yves Saint Laurent cage heels have been the object of affection of many and are now on sale. The nude Miss Selfridge cage pair fit in well with summers nudes, pastels and camel tones.

Both the Giuseppe Zanotti lace heels and Dolce & Gabbana lace open toe booties are enough to cause serious shoe envy. The Dorothy Perkins embellished lace ballet flats show flats need not be boring.

Will you be baring your feet in a Mesh, Cage or Lace heel?
