Summer Sandals

Ladies! It seems like the season of pleasant breezy days is almost here.Yes, by which I mean time for summer sandals is on its way!

For those who were yearning for rapture, hang tight. Because who would want to miss the touch of the sun on your skin? Well, unless you are allergic to the sun, perhaps. Besides, wouldn't it be an amenity just to ornament your feet? So snap out of the past, and let's look forward.

Do you remember when gladiator sandals hit the sensation a few summers ago? After popping up in wardrobe in the late 1960's, gladiator sandals revived back in 2008. Beyond my personal expectation that this trend would die off soon, they are still in style. So if you have a pair, don't hesitate to stomp in them. Gladiator sandals are still rocking!

Typical gladiator sandals are flat that have several strips across the front of the foot. Other types of gladiator sandals feature heels, a zippered closure, a braided strip that goes up to the knee (even make you feel like a Roman goddess), and multiple adjustable straps.

Be aware gentlemen! You guys are not left alone at all. There are gladiator sandals for men too, so don't be disappointed. One of the best known British fashion designer Alexander Mcqueen has produced gladiator sandals for men. The definition of a gladiator is a male combatant during the Roman Empire, so why not to design them for men as well?

The most popular summer sandals, I believe, are flip-flops. I suppose they are not a seasonal item because I see people wearing them no matter which season.

Sure, flip-flops are simply easy to put on. But how about dressing up your style with sandals like thong flat sandals for this summer?

A round open toe with rhinestones is fashionable to upgrade the entire look. Considering your toes being visible, paint your nails with whatever color you like. A simple work like pedicure can make the difference in your fashion.

If not enough, try on ankle wrap sandals to get your style into the next level. Though some sandals can be spendy, choose ones that involve beads, shimmering stones or a floral motif on the front. As long as the outfit is plain like a one-piece dress in a single color, your style won't appear too gaudy.

If you are a fan of vibrant colors like shocking pink, neon-yellow, or brilliant green, I suggest the top wear to be black or white.

Those who longed for refreshing days, buckle up your feet in favorite sandals. Summer is near!
