Neutral Shoes
I have touched on it here in recent weeks, but neutral shoes in cream, beige and off-white are really trendy for spring and summer. They are a fabulous way to extend your wardrobe because you can wear them with almost anything.

Snakeskin Sandals
The exotic skins are in. Python sandals are at the forefront this season. But if you can’t afford to splurge a thousand bucks on genuine skin sandals (like the ones below), don’t fret. Many designers are offering faux skins that still look like a million bucks.

Hippie-Chic Shoes
Get into the Bohemian trend with shoes accented with fringe, beading and other hippie inspirations. Flat thong sandals embellished with beads and espadrille wedges are popular choices.

Gladitor Sandals
Though I’m not a fan, gladiator sandals are back this season in a big way. From flats to knee-high versions, gladiators are everywhere. If you love this trend, you certainly won’t find it difficult to find a pair.

Studded Shoes
Edgy shoes embellished with studs, rivets and zippers are getting lots of attention. If you like the rocker chic/biker chic trend, you’ll love the number of studded sandals and pumps on the shelves. But they don’t need to be dark and dreary, check out these colorful studded sandals from Sofft.

Ankle Cuffs
This is one trend that I don’t like at all. Instead of thin ankle straps, many shoe designers are going with the wide ankle cuffs instead. These cuffs aren’t a good choice for short women or those with thick ankles. They make you legs look short and stumpy.

Cut-out Booties
Booties aren’t just for cold weather, apparently. This year, many cutout booties are making their way into summer fashions. With open toes and cut out sides, these shoes can work well with warm weather clothing. Caged booties (like the ones pictured here) are also trendy.

The J. Renee Ella sandal features a wooden footbed and a colorful beaded medallion with a Native-American flavor. The tribal trend will be strong again this spring, and these shoes can take you there.

Priced at under $100 at Nordstrom, these sandals come in black, natural cork, or the white/turquoise combination pictured here. These cute sandals would look great with the Boho-chic fashions that are hip this season.

Yves Saint Laurent Obi Platform Sandal

Yves Saint Laurent offers a variety of fabulous shoes for spring and one of my favorites is their patent leather Obi platform sandal. These sandals feature an open toe with a pleated bow across the vamp. With a 4-inch heel and a buckled ankle strap, these will definitely dress up anything you are wearing.

You can get these sandals right now at Bergdorf Goodman. Priced at $895, they are definitely a splurge but certainly cool. If you are looking for a platform sandal with a bit more color, try the YSL Tribute in cobalt blue.
