An Outfit is complete only when it has all the complementing
accessories worn or carried along with it. Footwear is one of the most
important fashion accessories that can make or mar the looks of your 'so
cautiously chosen' apparel. So, its always better to be careful while selecting
shoes that go with your wardrobe. Equally important is to know the trends
prevalent in existing fashion circle so that you may always look hot and
happening! It's time now to know the latest trends that'll make the heads move
in Spring- Summer 2009!!
Heals
Stilettos: They are back with a bang! Stilettos are everywhere- on
ramps and on roads. However, it has been mixed up with platforms to give an innovative style- a
hidden platform at the front and a real high stiletto at the back. The higher
the stilettos, the more they attract. If you prefer fashion over comfort,
stilettos are for you. If not, then think twice before falling for them.
Tapered Heels: They are thick at the top and slim down as they reach the
ground, often with a curve, into a stiletto-esque point at the bottom. If you
can't wear stilettos, try tapered heels to be somewhat comfortable.
Platform and Wedge Heels: In spite of stilettos returning, platforms and wedge
heels will remain. Thick heels
are always more friendlier to feet and they can't be let out of fashion so
easily.
Ballet Flats: Talking about heels, we can't forget shoes without them.
Like platforms, ballet flats will also stay around. However, they'll come in
new colors and luxe fabrics like satin.
Toe Shapes
Squared-off toes: They will return but with a difference. Rather than a fully
squared toe, the new squared-off shape will be tapered in toe with a short
blunt nose.
Pointed Toes: The razor-sharp pointed toe footwear is all set to make a
comeback. When stilettos come, how can pointed toes remain behind? Those who
don't get along with them, can definitely find 'always available round toes' or
the squared off ones.
Colors and Prints
Bright Colors: Bright hues of red, orange, yellow and purple will make way
into the shoe racks. If you are afraid that you can't pull off the oranges or
purples, you'll find them paired with skin friendly colors like blue and white.
Pinks will also be there ranging from baby pinks to even fuchsia.
Two-Tone or Multicolor: Contrasting colors will there be on different parts
of your shoes like contrasting straps or heels. From bright colors to the
classic greys and blacks, all will be used to bring style statement through
shoes. Multi-colored shoe is not only for wearing with a plain colored outfit,
they can well go with anything.
Floral Patterns: The evergreen flowers will be there either as prints,
appliqus or embellishments. You will find them in subtle as well as extreme
patterns.
