Flat sandals for spring 2015 are making a big splash this season! As fashion trends toward flats rather than heels, flat sandals for the spring season are offing many options which are on trend. Here are the trends to look for this spring 2015 season in flat sandals:

Gladiator: Gladiator sandals are back. They are being shown in both short and long versions which reach up towards the knee. Gladiator sandals are being shown mainly in neutral hues, pale metallics, and soft whites. Look for ties, wraps, and anything which transports you to ancient Greece.

Denim: Denim shoes are an emerging trend for spring. As denim quietly appears on more than just apparel, shoes are moving to the forefront of fashion as an easy way to rock the denim trend for spring on a day when temperatures are too warm for a pair of jeans. Look for denim sandals with cut outs, ankle tie’s, and in gladiator styles. The color should be a medium “wash” which can easily be worn in the spring and summer seasons.

Flatforms: The flatform is showing no sign of slowing down for the spring season. Look for lug soles, rubber soles, cork soles, and high espadrille styles. Flatforms offer ankle straps and simple styles such as one thick strap across the foot. Look for simple, no-fuss silhouettes in neutral colors which can easily be worn this spring, into summer, and into early fall. And yes, you can wear socks them; after all, designers showed flatforms with socks for fall 2015, so this is a trend worth investing in if you love it!

Birkenstocks and copy-cats: Birkenstocks are still hot for spring 2015 as they are the most authentic way to rock the 1970’s trend in a flat sandal. Not only are Birkenstock sandals a hot trend, many designers have copied the style and are showing their own Birkenstock “inspired” styles for the spring season. Of course, since the original is moderately priced, there really is no reason to go with a copy cat. Be original, wear the original.

I found a few fabulous flat sandal styles around the web and assembled them into the shopping widget below. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉

I am a sucker for a product with a cause. I am also a sucker for a fabulous sandal! So, when the two are combined, the world is a better place 😉 

As a fan of Stuart Weitzman, I was overjoyed to receive an email advertising his spring 2015 Leg Wrap sandal. Not only have I been eyeing this beautiful pair of sandals since they first hit his website a few weeks ago, I was now given a reason to actually buy a pair! Proceeds from the sale of Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap sandal go directly to Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives. Information on her work here. Love that!

Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap sandal Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives is a beautiful on-trend shoe which is fabulous for the spring 2015 season. The Leg Wrap Sandal benefiting Dr. Marsha A. Moses Cancer Research Initiatives by Stuart Weitzman are made in red, yellow, black, denim, and platinum noir which is a beautiful, soft metallic hue.

Shoes with ties, wraps, and straps are hot for the warm weather season. Not only is the shoe itself on-trend, it is a versatile piece! These fabulous high heeled sandals can easily be worn with a pair of this season’s boot cut or flare jeans, to spice up a casual look, or paired with a dress for evening occasions. The black or platinum noir pair are perfect for pairing with semi-formal attire, cocktail dresses, and even gala gowns! Now how’s that for versatility?!

I am trying to decide whether to purchase the denim, black, or platinum noir pair of Stuart Weitzman’s Leg Wrap Sandal. Which color do you love?
