Inspired by her love of walking barefoot in mind, designer Carly Burnett of TKEES footwear wanted to make a thong sandal that was comfortable enough to mimic this feeling, while taking an “easy, breezy, beautiful” approach to the label’s makeup-inspired design.
Soft hues, shimmering metallics, ombre blends and sophisticated neutrals create the perfect, summertime palette of pedicure-flattering slip-ons that are chic enough to wear in the evening, and effortlessly fitting for pretty, daytime looks. Because the brand was inspired by a passion for makeup color trends, TKEES styles are separated into lines named after every woman’s favorite beauty products.
Casually elegant, TKEES complement all of your Insta-worthy beauty routines with timeless style, primp pallets, and laidback luxury, giving you a new beauty toolkit to highlight any of your makeup moods.
