Sandal trends for the season

With every new fashion trend comes a new round of accessories and one of the major components of this term ‘accessories’ is shoes. Women, in particular are a little obsessed with these feet accessories. Whether it’s getting all cooey and gooey over a sky-high pair of delicate stilettos or lusting after a deluxe pair of the season’s must have boots, women plus shoes equals slightly crazy.

This season, like every other has welcomed yet more beautiful shoes to adorn our feet and summer, with its sunshine and warm weather, means our feet in these beautiful shoes are on show. Sandals, both flat and heeled are what every woman wants. And this season, they most certainly don’t disappoint.

Girly, feminine and pretty just about sum up the selection of women’s sandals on offer this summer. If you want to look in more detail at the summer’s range of women’s shoes, visit House of Fraser.

Here is a mini guide to the hottest sandal trends of the season.

The overall theme is nude and natural, however the odd touch of disco glamour is thrown in the mix for good measure. Look for natural materials such as leather and suede but also wood, cork and straw. Choose natural and nude hues such as salmon and coral pinks, warm chestnut browns, dusty oranges and warm yellowy beiges. However, you can also throw in some bright pink or orange and metallics in gold and silver are also pretty strong.

Embellishment is another thing to look for. Jewels, bows and studding add interest to an otherwise minimalist looking shoe. Straps are also important. However, don’t go overboard. T-bar shaped straps will be your best bet. This applies to flats and heels. Lace effect, cut out sections and woven detailing will score you even extra points. But don’t try and do everything at once. Summer shoes are feminine yet simple. Your main inspiration should be hippy chic, so keep things cool.

When it comes to heels, you have two options in terms of style. The first is the wedge. This is probably the biggest summer trend and is definitely something fresh to try. Espadrille type wedges are the shoe of the summer. Your second option is platforms. In keeping with the disco feel of the second half of the 1970s, platforms are big, high and super sexy. You may need to practice your walk for some of the most daring pairs.

Listen up and look good

So much more effort seems to be put into fashion tips for women. Men often get left behind and therefore often end up being a little lost about exactly what defines the latest trends and how to wear them. There are of course plenty of magazines and websites out there that do offer fashion and trend insights and tips, but aside from GQ and the broadsheet supplements they don’t offer much depth or breadth.

Generally it is easy to figure out what the latest trends are by walking through the typical high street fashion shop or department store, but exactly how to wear the latest trends is a little harder to fathom. Here we have picked one trend and will detail just how you should wear it.

Nautical-inspired fashion has made various visits to international catwalks over the decades. It plays a prominent and continue source of inspiration for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren. This summer it’s back but there are notes of preppy Americana thrown into the mix.

There are several key features of this look. First is the Breton stripe. The stripe is found mostly on t-shirts and polo shirts. To add extra detail, look for stripes that change in density and size.

Along with the stripe are the key colours or red, white and blue, with a nod to both Royal Britannia and the Stars and Stripes. Don’t go overboard with colour however. This French Riviera style is rather understated and reserved. Keep it neutral and don’t wear all three colours in block; instead pick two, white and blue for example and accessorise with red.

Chinos are the must have trousers not only of this trend, but of the summer. They should be tapered, turned up and loose and preferably in beige.

Denim, which works in perfect tandem with the cotton fabric of chinos, is also a new modern addition to the otherwise traditional trend. The denim shirt, worn loose and open over a plain t-shirt ties a look together and is a great way of softening the otherwise rather smart appearance of this trend.

To top it off look for a tailored, but not over structured blazer. This gives the trend a mod feel that is both casual and smart at the same time.

In terms of accessories deck shoes are a must as are a pair of the classic Wayfarer style sunglasses.

Shirt Basic (YSL)

YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) is one of the leading fashion powerhouse company nowadays and we’ve recently heard some issues between  their co Parisian fashion line company Christian Louboutin due with some plagiarism issues with their both sole red shoes. Anyways, I hope the issue will be done to soon and both company will share their talent,skills and awesome designs without encountering such issues like this, because consumer might quite confuse then on which products are the original or who’s the copycut only. I know with some people it is doesn’t matter who’s the first one or who’s the original designers done first the products, but on the fashion enthusiast. This was an big issue that they might know because shoes and anything fashion pieces that they were buying of are indeed investment to them that they’ll treasure like a gold. LOL

I think there was no deeply connection with it though, I just wanted to share with you that I wanted to have this shirt basic YSL white tee because summer has been started and white shirt is the best wear that we can consider as the hit of sun raises. Not make sense, right? LOL

Ultimate Fashion Turn-Offs

Even if you buy all the latest magazines and follow the trends, there will always be different fashion laws when it comes to dating. No matter how many celebrities have worn that style of shoes, you’re not guaranteed to impress your date with them. Whether you’ve met on one of the fashionable dating sites or through a magazine, here are some first date fashion turn offs:

 

Flesh

Despite popular belief, showing too much flesh is a big turn-off. Your date will get completely the wrong impression and it could well cheapen the evening. Plus, leaving more to the imagination will usually turn someone on much more than revealing all from the first. Girls, try to balance your look by sticking to the simple rule that if you wear a skirt, you wear a modest top and if you wear a revealing top, go for trousers or dark tights. This will mean you’re look is much more sophisticated and sexy. Guys, try and keep all but the top button done-up and jeans not too baggy – flesh isn’t a good look on you either!

 

Fakery

This is the ultimate fashion turn-off – as popular TV program Snog, Marry, Avoid has countlessly proved by giving people with a love of fakery more natural makeovers. Fakery looks tacky and off-putting. If someone’s on a date with you they want to get to know the real you, not the fake. So, lose the jewellery, make-up, hair extensions, false eyelashes and all other forms of fakery. Be as natural and create a great impression.

 

Wackiness

Although you might want to dress in a wacky style to show off your unique personality, make sure you tone this down, at least for the first couple of dates. You wouldn’t want to scare someone off by being too out-there with your look. It might take a bit of getting used to, so ease them in gently. Bold patterns, clashing designs, over-the-top accessories and neon colors could be baffling turn-offs.

 

Scruffiness

Turning up to a date in the scruffiest outfit possible is mainly the crime of guys, although girls can occasionally fall below the acceptable level too. You must look like you’ve made some kind of effort when you go on a date. Arriving in torn jeans, a t-shirt and a general air of unkemptness really won’t leave a good impression. In fact, your date will probably assume that you don’t really care, either about them or the date!

 

Showiness

At the other end of the spectrum, don’t make too much of an effort. Don’t show off with expensive designers and top-of-the-range watches and jewellery. This can be another enormous turn-off, as it will be interpreted as unpleasant arrogance and vanity.

 

Whether you’re visiting dating websites london or dating in Glasgow, don’t let these fashion turn-offs ruin your dating life. Make sure to steer clear of these five unsightly trends.

 

To avoid the fashion turn-offs. You must have these awesome and hippest Watches that can make you “in” on today’s fashion.
