 in Shoes / Trends  tagged high heels / metallics / spring 2013 / summer 2013 by

Metallics have been hot for the past several years, so it is no wonder that designers are taking this sparkling trend to the next level for the spring 2013 season. Mirrored shoes for spring 2013 have been popping up on store shelves as well as on the feet of the fabulous. These shining shoes feature mirrored leather or faux-leather material in bright shades of silver, gold, rose gold, pewter and even colors!

That’s right! The mirrored shoe is hot for spring 2013. This not-so-subtle shoe style began appearing in 2012, but for spring 2013 the style has exploded into what may be the most important shoe fabrication of the upcoming warm weather season.

Mirrored shoes are being shown in every shoe style possible, but the hottest styles, and in our opinion the most flattering shoe styles, are classic pointed-toe pumps and high heel sandals. While mirrored sneakers, flats and boots have made their way onto store shelves, these styles seem less, shall we say, wearable?

The mirrored pump or high heel sandal is the ultimate way to rock this shining trend for the spring 2013 season. Mirrored shoes can be worn during the day with almost anything and are a modern alternative to satin, glitter or crystal encrusted pumps/sandals at night. A day-into-evening shoe style! Rare but fabulous! Love that!

We found a few amazing mirrored shoes around the web and assembled them into this article. We hope you love them. Shine on! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous
