The IT sandal style for summer 2013

 in Shoes / Trends  tagged ankle straps / sandals / summer 2013 by

The “IT” sandal style is here. Sandals with one single front strap and an ankle strap were all over the spring/summer 2013 runways in New York, Paris, Milan and London. This runway trend has proven to be popular on the street for spring 2013 and is showing no sign of slowing down as we head into the summer 2013 season.

This fabulous shoe style is being shown as flats, kitten heels, wedges and high heels. Designers are having fun with this sandal style by showing color blocked styles, textured fabrications including exotics and single colors which are anywhere from neutral to eye catching neon. This is the shoe style to own for 2013!

These sandals can easily be worn with skirts, dresses, pants; and are a great way to spice up skinny jeans and even patterned shorts! Love this!

I found a few amazing single strap sandals with an ankle strap around the web and assembled them into this article. To shop this trend simply click on the photo or photos of the sandals you love in the shopping widget below and you will be redirected to the online shop where you can purchase the most fabulous shoe style of 2013! Love it! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous

It is no secret that floral prints, bright colors and emerald green are hot for spring/summer 2013. While an easy way  to wear florals is on a dress, and an easy way to wear bright colors is with neutrals, sometimes it is fun to pair the two together and create a bright, floral ensemble!

I love Naya Shoes. This short wedge sandal from the eco-chic company’s spring/summer 2013 collection is easy to wear with lightweight fabric dresses, jeans, skinnies and of course, summer shorts! Every shoe made by Naya Shoes is Eco Chic and made from eco-conconscious materials in an eco-consciouc fashion. Love that!

The “Helena,” pictured here in Taupe/Coffee, is a classic sandal with just enough of a wedge to add a little bit of height to my 5’4″ frame. They are also very comfortable 

Wedges for spring and summer

Wedges are a staple for the spring and summer seasons. They add a little lift, making us all feel taller while maintaining a casual flair which fits perfectly with everyday style during the warm weather months. There are so many fabulous wedges on the market right now for spring and summer; which ones to choose!

This spring and summer season there are a few major trends to watch for when shopping for wedges. If you have brightly colored wedges from spring 2012; wear them! This is a great time to shop your closet for bright colors, neutrals, cork wedges, rope details and metallics. Since these trends were hot last year and are also hot this year, there is no need to shop for them; there is a good chance they are already in your closet!

One of the big trends this season is the studded trend. In addition to bright colors, neutrals, color blocking, cork, metallics and rope detailing, wedges for spring and summer 2013 feature studs, PVC, neon colors and pastel hues.

With all of these fabulous trends in wedges for spring/summer 2013, which ones to choose?! When shopping for fabulous wedges for the spring/summer 2013, think about which colors you wear most often and which trends you love the most. If you are looking for a neutral, look at metallic hues which may be more interesting than your average beige and tan.
