History
Humans have worn sandals for thousands of years, in fact, they are one of the oldest types of shoes. Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians started weaving straps for their sandals to keep them secure on their feet. In fact, this has inspired the modern-day trend of gladiator sandals, which have straps going all the way up the calf. Sandals then fell out of fashion until roughly the early 20th century, when women started wearing sandals to the beach with very wide straps. Sandals then slowly became acceptable as day-to-day wear, and designers have continued to release innovative new strappy designs to flatter the foot.
How to Style Strappy Sandals
Strappy sandals are very easy to style, as you can wear them with virtually any spring or summer outfit. For a casual day, they look effortless with a floaty pair of shorts or lightweight trousers. For a night out during the summer, you can draw inspiration from the Greeks and wear them with a draped dress. A heeled pair of sandals also looks excellent with a jumpsuit for a night out on the town. Although strappy sandals are often a casual piece, they are an easy way to be comfortable without looking sloppy. These shoes are very flattering because they make the ankles look long and slim. They're also perfect for showing off a cute pedicure.
Strappy Sandal Trends
One of the biggest strappy sandal trends of the moment is shoes with very thin, barely there straps. These straps are often arranged in intricate patterns and are intended more for style than for support. There's also been a trend of strappy slingback sandals, where the straps actually wrap around the back of the heel as well as across the front of it. On the other hand, we're also seeing a trend of strappy sandals with chunky, flat platforms, often worn with street style or athleisure pieces.
Most major shoe brands make strappy sandals, so you'll have plenty of choice when finding your perfect pair. Neutral tans and beiges are very popular colors, but you can also find black, brown, metallics, and even bright colors. A strappy sandal is an easy go-to shoe in the summer because it is so versatile and flattering.
