Shoe Trends for Summer 2009
Warm weather calls for a fresh new shoe wardrobe (as if you did
need an excuse to do that) and the summer of 2009 brings some
exciting new trends for comfortable day and party wear shoes.
The hottest trends are Ankle Straps,
T-Straps and Gladiator Shoes
which are really a combination of the first two.
Here
are the top trends and our favorite pieces for this season:
Gladiators and T-Straps
Gladiators have made flats look glam and heels look ultra glam.
And it's not surprising why people not just in Rome are doing as
the Romans do and choosing gladiator styles for the warm weather.
Pair them with toga style dresses for a complete Grecian look or
hit the beach in these trendy, yet comfortable flats.
Pointed Toes
Making a great comeback, the classic pointed toes are the look of
all high profile parties this season. If elegant is what you are
looking for, you can never go wrong with pointed toe pumps.
Ankle Straps
Ankle strap shoes look lovely with pants or skirts. Flats or
heels, ankle straps are the way to go.
Peep-Toes
Another classic and a more comfortable alternative to the pointed
toe shoes, peep-toes can be worn with the most elegant dresses in
evening and at all special occasions.
Patent
Patent never really goes away from the fashion scene but this
summer, it sure has an edge over suede which finishes a close
second and is making it's own waves.
Color Trends
Bright colors, color block, black and white and even
animal-prints - in short, bold and beautiful is the color trend in
shoes this season.
The Chunky Look
Wedges and chunky sandals paired with chunky
jewelry and accessories are a must for the casual-chic, beach
season.
Flats
It's not just the gladiators. Ballerina style
flats are also a rage with those who are looking for more comfort
this summer. And although the trend continues from the past
season, we love them for their cute looks and comfy styles.
