Q: I got some high heels with wide straps in brown that seem to be extremely fashionable with my slim-fit jeans and all of my pants. Although not with dresses. I believe I woul
d like heels, but with out a lot of straps (as my feet are certainly not thin in any way). I put on dresses which cover my knees - would those shoes fot them?
A: You are talking about the new group of strappy heels (and associated ankle booties), which many girls have been wearing lately with dresses. I admit I had been shocked that the shoe trend ever got so popular. In 2009, I recall rejecting the initial trial to push gladiator heels to the market, that heels had been aggressive, awkward platform stilettos (more than five inches!) having chaotic straps and buckles throughout the shoe. Nonetheless, more self confident fashion enthusiasts took the dive and were wearing those really unperfect shoes.
But within the seasons, designers perfected the gladiator heels - and won more than a million customers. Today's variations consist of numerous sandal types, like sleek sandals with out platforms, designs with a lot of thin straps-and designs with heels of only three inches. You will find sharp designs featuring zippers up the rear of the heels. The designs can be found in super-flattering nude-colored shades that truly disappear on the feet-to help you put them on with pastel dresses.
How to pick your silver strappy heels
Because they became ubiquitous, they got my attention, and i also lastly broke down and purchased a pair. Ladies with feet size 9 or higher must discover the perfect proportions - no rhinestones or heavy elements that magnify the dimensions of the feet. I settled on a delicate pair of gladiators which have become one of my most trusted pumps. I holded to the camel shade that combined with my skin; black gladiator designs work nicely with dark-colored, deep blue or wine red tights, so long as they are not very skimpy or bare.
For females with heavier calves or thicker ankles, have a selfie and discover how appealing you really feel. Do not force you to ultimately go there. If you're not sure you want to expose your feet in that way - don't.
