Ankle strap shoes and sandals add a bit of personality and a whole lot of fun to just about any outfit -- and this season, shoes and sandals with ankle straps, cuffs and collars are hotter than ever.
For a few of the season's hottest styles in ankle straps, be sure to have a look at some of my top picks below.
Easily one of my favorite styles of the season, these ankle strap sandals feature nearly non-existent .25" heels, a skimpy thong design, and wide ankle cuffs that are encrusted with pretty beading. Perfect for adding a bohemian touch to nearly any casual item in your closet, these ankle strap sandals come in green, black or brown.
Featuring a combination of skimpy and wide straps, these killer sandals also take the prize for having some of the most elaborate ankle straps I've seen in a long time; they're very wide, and absolutely brimming with tiny rhinestones -- and the drama doesn't stop there. These ultra-sexy shoes also feature 5" heels, 1.25" platform soles, and a very flattering t-strap design. Available in a wide selection of colors, these shimmery shoes obviously aren't for the faint of heart, but even if you're too shy to wear these campy sandals, you still won't want to miss seeing them.
Unique and eye-catching, these gorgeous ankle strap shoes feature black suede or metallic pewter uppers, open toes, and wide ankle straps that are embellished with lots of silver hardware. I'm head over heels for the shapely 4" heels, and the sexy back zippers, but what really makes these shoes for me is the ruched vamps, which are unbelievably glamorous.
Combining front coverage and trendy woven uppers, these ankle strap shoes play perfectly into many of the season's hottest trends. Their wedge heels measure in at 4.25 inches, and are offset by substantial 1" platform soles. Available in saddle brown, dark brown, and dark blue, these ankle strap shoes would be perfect for pairing with shorts or casual skirts and dresses.
If you're looking for a skimpy dress sandal that's a bit more timeless, then you may want to have a look at these evening shoes from Via Spiga. With a flattering cross-strap design, nappa leather uppers, and wearable 3.75" heels, these ankle strap sandals look great in gold or steel.
