Essential Shoe Fashion For 2010
What is it with women and their shoes? We go a little doolally for them. High ones, flat ones, booted, sandals; you name it, we want it.
Our love affair with shoes is nothing new. In France during the Renaissance, shoes were as fashionable as the outfits the courtiers wore, and were changed as often as the outer garments. Ever since we have been slightly obsessed.
It''s no wonder why really. Shoes with heels can elongate the leg. Strappy sandals can make the ankles appear smaller and more streamlined. Flats are comfy and practical but also girly and fun. Colours and styles can be frivolous or understated and it seems we can''t resist bows, peep toes, ribbons and buckles.
Over the years shoe styles have changed considerably. For example, in the Renaissance men and women, wore court shoes because they were members of the royal court. The only difference was that some had laces whereas others had buckles. Later men began to wear flat shoes and women''s heels began to grow. It wasn''t until the 20th century that we wore trainers for the first time.
Trainers and flats have come a long way. Women can wear ...
... them as well as men and they now can look feminine and chic, add infinite appeal to an outfit, but are also amazingly comfortable.
Now, shoes are available in almost any style imaginable. Shoe designers have taken influence from the past, and blended it with modern, futuristic styles. Materials now are prettier but more hardwearing and long lasting. Variety on offer in any high-street shop these days is seemingly endless.
So what are the latest trends you should adorn your feet with this summer? Gladiator sandals, with more straps than you can imagine are super hot. Brown and black work well, but to be particularly on trend, go for nude hues.
Platformed stilettos are this year''s must have and can add some serious sex appeal to any outfit. Again nudes, particularly mauve and beige are particularly appealing and will score you major fashion points when combined with bows and peep toes.
Fabric and feel wise, plain old leather is out. Look for satin, patent, and suede. If it feels good, it will look good. Remember to add even more details with bows and studs, flowers and ruffles and for some added oomph, peep toes are the ultimate in sex kitten feet. Just make sure you have an equally stunning pedicure. Barton Loi is a fashion writer. They recommend New Look for womens shoes.
