Gladiator sandals at Matthew Williamson SS09
With June getting ever closer it is time to start seriously considering our summer wardrobe and most importantly our summer shoes.
Your footwear can turn an outfit from winter warn to light and summery. A T-shirt and skinny jeans worn with Ugg boots looks great in winter, swap the boots for sandals and it looks just as appropriate for Summer.
This season, it looks like gladiator sandals are still the summer shoes of choice but this season we're not just looking for stud detail and lots of straps, it's all about zips now.
Zips have been big news on the catwalks for this season and next with designers including Marc Jacobs, Jean-Charles de Castelbajac and even Victoria Beckham putting them on dresses, skirts and jackets so it makes perfect sense for the trend to translate to our feet too.
Knee high gladiator sandals have been doing the rounds for a couple of years now but it still feels like unless you're Sienna Miller or Kate Moss they are not going to look right, ankle length sandals though could be the answer.
With straps finished just above the ankle they are the subtler take on the catwalks knee highs. This style is normal people friendly!
Now we just have to pray for sum sun so we can show off our new sandals!
