Shoe Print and Color Trends for Spring 2010
Like last year, light and mid-tone neutral shoes are all the rage, with tans, beiges, taupes, and creams abounding, and natural exotic skins not far behind. But don't despair if you prefer a bit of color on your feet; there will still be several non-neutral shades to choose from this Spring, with shades of blues and greens as the frontrunners.More on Shoe Color and Print Trends:
Spring Shoe Trends for Women: Earthy, Natural Accents
The perfect complement to the season's hottest shoe colors are light-colored, earthy accents like cork, natural wood, and rope-covered heels, so it's lucky for us that there are a plethora of such styles to choose from.Shoes with Earthy Accents:
Hot Heel Trend: Wedges make their Comeback
After a couple of years on the back burner, wedges started to make their return last Spring, and this year, their comeback is complete. In addition to the fact that many women find wedge heels easier to wear than stilettos, they're also great for showcasing some of the season's other top trends like rope and cork accents.More on Wedges:
Trends in Spring Sandals: Woven, Gladiator and Booties
Heavier sandals are edging out their skimpier counterparts for the third year running, with woven sandals, wide collared sandals, and bootie sandals all making the fashion pages again this year.News that will come as a relief to many of you is that gladiator sandals won't be nearly as prevalent as they were last year. Another subtle difference in this year's sandal styles is that instead of all-over heaviness, we're going to be seeing shoes that combine a hefty element with other thinner ones. For example, a thick ankle collar with a skimpy vamp strap, or a wide t-strap with lots of skinny woven straps attached to it. It's all in the details, ladies.
Platform Sandals: Still Hot for Spring 2010?
If you were hoping that platform sandals were going the wayside this year, I'm sorry to inform you that that's not the case. In fact, I'm seeing a lot of Spring and Summer styles that have even thicker platform soles than we've seen in the past few years.The funny thing is, platform shoes have been one of the hottest shoe styles for several years running, so it's difficult to still consider them a trend. But the fact of the matter is, they're a very divisive style, with as many critics as they have fans, so they'll never be as universally acceptable as a pair of classic pumps.
Whether you love them or hate them, settle in for the ride, because they're going to be with us for at least one more season.
