Ready to spark up your summer shoe wardrobe?
Be armed with the most important new trends on the scene! I chatted with Anne Crays, VP of Merchandising and Fashion Forecasting for Shoebuy.com, and she had some awesome tips on what to look out for.
Bejeweled Flats
Sparkling stones are a girl’s best friend, and this summer we get to wear them on our shoes! Pretty jewels will embellish flats and sandals for a dressed up look that’s also very comfortable.
Neon Trend
Bright and neon sandals are great for adding color to a basic summer top or a little black dress. Have fun with this trend, and be bold in the color selections of your shoes.
Hello Yellow
Yellow is this summer’s hot color. Bright, summery yellows will receive the most attention, especially when paired with other vibrant colors for a fun, glowing look.
Gladiator Trend
You can get some wear out of last season’s gladiator sandals because we’re still going to see a lot of them this summer. This summer’s gladiator sandals will be big and bold with a focus on ankle straps in gold, bronze, and browns. If you don’t yet have a pair, this is a must-have accessory that you can acquire without exhausting your wallet.
Strappy Details Trend
Fringe, straps, lace-ups, and ties are decorating sandals left and right for a look that’s fierce and daring, and very trendy.
