I am not the most adventurous when it comes to footwear- look at my shoes shelves and you’ll see mostly a sea of classic brown, tan, black and animal print shoes. I also trend that way for summer too. Carrie Bradshaw I am not. While I would like to get a little more fun with my footwear, I also know the value of a good classic shoe you can wear again and again with everything. So here are my favorites for this season- so many great options! A few splurges (I want those Gucci espadrilles bad for some reason) and a few real steals too!
Good “trends” to look for this summer:
- Birkenstock style sandals (and Birks themselves) are still really hot. I like the suede versions with bigger gold buckles but also LOVE the VB version.
- Metal accents- lots of sandals with modern gold sculptural details on the toe area. Like jewelry for your feet.
- Gold. Silver was it for fall, this summer we’re back to gold! A good simple gold strappy heel and flat will take you a long way.
- Deep brown flat leather slides. Always a classic for a reason.
- Clear vinyl strap heels make your legs look 8 miles long and go with ANY dress. A must have.
- Denim is huge, even on feet.
- Woven accents mixed with leather- bags and shoes!
