What's New

Fancy Footwork

 
Color, Style and Glitz


Roger Viver

Shoes are definitely the "It"  this summer when it comes to hot fashion trends. Women love shoes no matter where on earth they are. To make a statement this summer or give a classic outfit a "New Look" head for your favorite shoe boutique.  Color, shine and big (as in chunky) are the hottest trends.

               

When it comes to color and embellishments there is no scarcity of choices. There is everything colorful from wild prints, stripes, neon brights, color-blocking and animal skins aren't going away.  Embellishments on footwear like sequins, feathers, rhinestones, beads, crystals, metallics, studs, glitter and spikes are numerous.

There are a variety of styles to choose from. The wedge has become a classic today and seems to be a favorite among fashionistas wherever you go. A platform peep toe style will give that "LBD" a "New Look" and booties with shorts are great on the younger set. We can't forget straps and more straps.

When it comes to heels there seem to be new heights and they don't seem to be inhibiting the fashion forward. Check out MB beaded stiletto's. You'll see more chunkie heels coming this fall. Down to earth styles are slip on loafers and ballet flats.


Fashion Tip:
Avoid attention getting shoes if you have thick ankles, unattractive legs or very large feet.
