Footwear Forecast: Shoes you Need for Spring

Here is a quick round up of the trending footwear you'll be seeing on most feet in spring and summer this year.

There is no such thing as enough shoes for women, there is never enough and there shouldn’t be. Like bad hair days there are bad shoe days, where you simply can’t find that perfect pair which goes along with your entire look, accentuating it to perfection. If that’s exactly how you feel, then welcome to the I-always-need-new-shoes club. With that comes good and bad news together.

Let’s talk about good first, you’ll get to know what’s trending in shoes and where are all those heels and flats headed to. Do you really want to hear the bad part? Bad part is, you’ll be left with a lust of an infinite more.

Here’s a drool worthy list of some of the trendiest shoes you need for the coming season.

The Metallic Sandals:
Well, sandals all covered in their metallic sass were all over the spring/summer 2015 runways. Since then they are making quite an appearance from models, fashion shows, street styles to general women fashionistas. Everyone is embracing this new shoe trend.

Unlike last year’s ugly sandals, this pair does have a semi-formal panache to it. The metallic bling makes me want to believe that this spring and summer will be a whole lot shinier.

Flats that point:
Runways were stormed by all kinds of super comfy and uber chic flats. If we talk about a particular number of pointed toe flats, they will be trending big this coming season.

Sling back pointed toe flats will transform our shoe collection from mostly pointed toe heels to pointed toe flats. You can’t just get enough of them with ankle straps; glittered details tie back, strappy, metallic and what not.

If you are into flats and you don’t feel the need for heel everyday then this spring and summer will be bringing a lot of shoes for you.

Platforms are back:

Good news for those who loved the 60’s and 70’s platforms for they are back in vogue and making quite a statement.

The broad yet comfier feel of platforms is undeniably needed in our shoe collection. Ultimately we need to alleviate from pencil heels and give our feet a platforming twist.

If you want to know how and with what you can stylishly pair them with then the answer is: with all your formal and semi-formal dresses. They are certainly the alternative you were looking for to get out of your pencil heels.

Block your heels:

Your heels got a sudden twist, they are not so pointed anymore.

The runways are indicating that we will be wearing more block heels then the pointed ones. With fringed details, or embellishments around, strapped over the ankles or tied all the way up there’s a new block heel intervention taking over this spring and summer.

All laced up:

If you have noticed there is a common element among all these shoes that will be making shoe statements in spring/summer 2015; yes, they all have laces.

Be it laced up till your ankle or almost around your knees, there is a lot of lacing up going on her.

The designers tried amalgamating this particular trend into most of their shoes and sandals. What really sets the mood for spring, are these barely-there, laced up sandals.

This was just a quick round up of footwear you’ll be seeing on most feet in spring and summer this year.

You can always experiment with the trends and your own fashion intuition to come up with something that is unique and stylish in its own way.
