Sandals are my favorite summer shoe. Of course you can pop them on to run to the store or whatever, but sandals come in formal styles, too. They’re basically appropriate for every warm-weather occasion. So here are some formal-style sandals you can try for your next big event!
This strappy gold or silver dress sandal is just beautiful. And very feminine and delicate. You can pair these with a long evening dress, a short cocktail dress, or a skirt set for an evening of dancing under the stars. (Or wherever you’re going.)
The patent buckle sandal will shine wherever you go. The ankle straps give this sandal a more secure fit, but they’re still fun and feminine. I love the look of patent leather with dresses or skirts.
Another t-strap sandal, but this one is a slide, so you can just slip your feet in and go. The heel is low enough to be comfortable and high enough to be flattering. These slides work with dresses, and the metallic neutrals are nice to pair with brown or gray pants, too. But don’t forget the patent black!
If your feet aren't summer-ready, there is no point in slipping them into a pair of gorgeous sandals. If you're wondering what shade to select during your next pedicure appointment, I have a few tips for you...
When your sandals are summer staples like the Silhouettes' Espadrilles, select vibrant shades that compliment tan skin. A great shade to try this summer is China Glaze's vibrant teal with flecks of gold called Custom Kicks in their recent Kicks collection. Custom Kicks is a deep, saturated teal that instantly brings back memories of the beach. (Photo courtesy of All Lacquered Up)
One of my favorite things about summer are all of the ornate and embellished sandals that are available. There is nothing more luxe than elaborate sandals, but you have to be careful that your polish doesn't overpower them. Silhouettes' Flower Sandals are on trend this summer, just be sure to let your sandals be the focal point. Select a light shade to compliment the metallic look. Baby Pink by Nubar is a great choice to show off your pedicure perfect feet and your tan. After all, if you wanted a boring look, you would have purchased flip flops, right?
