Jewel tones are a huge color trend this fall 2012 season and one of the fun and fabulous ways to wear these rich hues is on shoes! Another reason wearing jewel tone shoes for fall 2012 is fabulous is that many of these hues have already appeared on the spring 2013 runways! Love that!

Fall 2012 jewel tones include red, burgundy, green/emerald, blue and purple. These cool tones look amazing on any style of shoe, but for fall 2012, the hottest way to wear jewel tone shoes is either in the forms of flats or classic, flirty pumps.

There are many styles of flats for fall 2012. In jewel tones, look for smoking slippers and ballet style flats. When it comes to pumps, you cannot go wrong with a pointy toe, platform or flat sole. Look for colors that you feel blend into your current wardrobe and will give you most the mileage over the course of the fall and winter seasons. Colors such as red, purple and teal will also carry into early spring 2013, so these could be good investment colors.

Ankle strap shoes for fall 2012

 in General Fashion / Shoes / Trends  tagged ankle straps / fall 2012 / high heels / winter 2013 by

There are so many shoe trends for the fall 2012 season, and many of them are modern takes on old classics. One of the fresh twists to a timeless shoe style, which is hot for fall, happens to be the ankle strap! Loathed by some due to the fact that ankle straps can shorten the look of one’s leg, the ankle strap is a classic shoe feature which can be found in many different forms over the years.

Ankle straps have faded in and out of fashion over the past several decades and have shown themselves in the forms of bow-ties, ribbons, buckle straps, single straps and double straps as well as large pieces of leather or fabric. For the fall 2012 season, the ankle strap is mainly found as a solid piece of leather, faux leather, patent or fabric. The strap is normally ultra-thin, although thicker “ankle cuffs” have also been spotted for fall; there is no medium size ankle strap for fall 2012.

The ankle straps shown on shoes this season offer a standard buckle free from embellishments and “bling.” The wider ankle straps or “ankle cuffs” offer an avant-garde vibe while the thinner ankle straps this season are flirty and lighthearted.

For those of us with short legs, the thinner ankle straps are more flattering than the thicker ones since ankle straps can shorten the look of the leg. Lighter colors are also more flattering for short or thick legs. If worn with dark tights, or another type of leg covering, dark colored ankle straps and thick ankle straps can easily be worn by a short leg since the color of the leg is tonal.
