Tips for those who wear sandals

- Constantly wearing a heel or platform above 5 cm is no less harmful to health. Experts recommend buying casual shoes with a heel or platform from 2 to 5 cm.
- Important shoe quality. The most comfortable foot feels in products made from natural materials. Suitable leather, nubuck, suede, fabric, crack. These materials do not interfere with the sweat to evaporate, allow the legs to "breathe".
- And of course, shoes should be comfortable.
Bright trends in 2018
Designers only preferred to improve the achievements of past years, but supplemented them with fresh highlights. So what should shoes be in 2018?
First of all, practicality. Stylists advise girls to give preference to fashionable but practical shoes. Of course, hairpins always remain in demand. However, today their popularity has been overshadowed by more comfortable models - a steady heel, platform, heel-shot glass.
The next season's trend is bright colors that add a special twist to the image. Raspberry, emerald, scarlet, caramel and yellow sandals actively demonstrate the models on the catwalk. Metallic gained particular popularity.
A discreet design remains in fashion. No fanciful elements except thin lacing, buckles or inserts. But for lovers of extravagant shoes, designers offer bolder solutions - geometric, animalistic motifs. Even floristry gradually made its way into the shoe segment. On beautiful sandals with heels, roses, daisies, and violets began to bloom.
Laces and straps as a shoe decoration are still in fashion. Graceful interweaving of thin laces give the image grace, beautifully clasping the female leg. Fashion shows of many fashion brands, including Moschino, Chloe, John Galliano, prove that they fit into almost any look.

What types of sandals does modern fashion offer?
Moody fashion is constantly changing its preferences. However, with regard to summer shoes, it is surprisingly stable. In 2018, as in the previous season, the models described below will be popular.
Gladiators
Aren't the legs in gladiator sandals beautiful?
Gladiator sandals were popular among the Roman Empire warriors, as they were comfortable to wear and allowed the skin of the legs to breathe. The design is based on straps tightly wrapping around the foot. They are often decorated with spikes, buckles, zippers. There are many variations of the model. The height of the gladiators also varies - from the ankle to the knee. Short sandals are most convenient, since it is much more difficult to choose an image for high gladiators.
This style is not suitable for girls with a large foot size and large legs. The most spectacular gladiators look at slender girls. Fashion designers recommend: get sandals in the Roman style of soft colors - black, brown, gray.
Despite the aggressive style, sandals go well with summer dresses of a free style, jumpsuits with shorts made of light fabric. Short gladiators look spectacular in tandem with leggings, jeans shorts, boyfriends. Do not wear long dresses and business suits with gladiators.
Clogs
These are sandals with a closed rounded nose, a wide heel and a platform. They look quite massive and heavy, but at the same time very comfortable. In addition, clogs look beautiful with light summer dresses and airy skirts. They are a great addition to the everyday look. Clogs harmonize with dress-shirts, wide shorts, flared jeans, boyfriends.
Do not combine clogs with tights and socks.
Wedge Sandals
Wedge sandals will be no less popular in the summer of 2018. This is a great option for girls who are not ready to walk in the summer heat with thin stilettos.
Tractor-soled models that have incredible convenience have been trendy for several seasons. They can be easily supplemented with both everyday and evening look.
Sandals on a figured wedge are another win-win option. They visually make legs slimmer, fit into any look. Such sandals can be combined both with short sundresses and with long dresses on the floor.
Particularly popular are beautiful sandals on a cork wedge. They are lightweight, practical. They do not make the image heavier and look spectacular on the foot. Sandals made of natural cork are produced by few brands, and their cost can not be called democratic. However, many companies offer cork made of synthetic materials. Cheap but no less convenient.

Tractor outsole - comfort and style

They are called sandals on a volumetric tread. And thanks to the deep tread, they are very comfortable. Any, even the most daring design ideas are comfortable to wear.
The sole may be continuous or separate (platform or heel), but any option is absolutely safe for the health of the legs. Even if the height of the model reaches 15 cm. The sole is made of "obedient" materials, so the choice of such shoes does not depend on the lifting of the foot. It is only important to choose the right size.
The only drawback of tractor-soled shoes is the lack of femininity. Many models look too clumsy, especially on the elegant female leg. But overweight girls they are categorically not suitable, as they will focus on full legs.
Sandals on a tractor sole with light, airy dresses look especially impressive. They seem to balance the heavy shoes, give the image grace. In addition, such beautiful heeled sandals harmoniously look with shorts, jeans, trousers, skirts.
In 2018, sandals of contrasting shades will be popular - a white sole and black, blue, yellow, pink colors. If you decide to prefer bright colors, choose clothes of dark or light colors that will be in harmony with the shoes.
Pointed Toe Sandals
Pointed-toe shoes are back in fashion. Sandals with a flat sole or a small heel are simply obliged to purchase every fashionista this year. They add elegance to the leg, and elegance to the image. However, such shoes visually lengthens the leg, so women with feet larger than 39 should not wear it.
Feel free to experiment with the design of shoes - sandals can be decorated with spikes, interweaving thin straps, metal noses, bows and any other accessories to your taste. Pointed-toe ballet flats are especially popular among practical girls. Some models perfectly complement the business image, others become a great everyday option.
