Are Sandals in style?

Yes, they’re still in style and not just for the beach. From strappy gladiator sandals to chunky platform sandals, there is a sandal to suit every style and occasion.

Flat sandals can be dressed up or down, making them a great choice for both casual and formal events. Heeled sandals can add a touch of elegance to any outfit, and wedges can provide both height and comfort.

Sandals also offer the opportunity to play with colour. Brightly coloured sandals can add a pop of colour to an outfit, while metallic or embellished sandals can add a touch of glamour.

Sandals made from materials such as leather or suede can add texture and interest to an outfit like espadrilles.

What are the shoe trends in 2023?

Ballet flats are still popular, while slim knee-high boots with skinny heels have replaced chunky soles, hiking sneakers, retro sports shoes and Mary-Janes as the trendiest footwear for the upcoming year. The return of Y2K fashion will also bring back bulky sandals.

Shoes are currently adorned with embellishments, with diamante being a prevalent trend for the summer, even on knee-high boots and flats, adding a touch of elegance to any outfit.
