A Look At Some Of The Top Trends In Shoe Fashion Today

Shoe shopping is very popular for most people, as the average person will acquire five new pairs of shoes each year. Some women surpass that amount in just a week. Either way, when people are ready to embark on their shoe-shopping venture, they're going to want to make sure they get a pair of shoes that are both stylish and comfortable. This article will provide basic information on the various trends in shoe design a person should be aware of before they actually purchase their shoes. With this knowledge they can get a better idea of what types of shoes will work best for their individual style.

Vibrant Colors

Newer shoe styles tend to have very bright colors. Even tennis shoes, which used to be white or black, can come in an array of colors. This goes for virtually any other style of shoe whether they are dress shoes, pumps, mules or flip-flops. People that follow the trend of vibrant shoe colors tend to choose shoes that are similar to the colors of their wardrobe, but not completely. Newcomers to this trend may think that doing things in this manner would create a mismatched appearance, but once you get used to it, you realize that the brighter colors actually complement the colors of the wardrobe.

Sexiness

High heel shoes have already been considered sexy, but they have gotten to be more so due to current shoe trends. The sexiest high heel shoes are those containing multiple straps with thinner heels. However, the sexiness factor is lost if you don't know how to walk in the heels or if the shoes are uncomfortable. So, keep this in mind as you go about considering what shoes you are going to buy.

The Shoe Designs of Yesteryear: Retro Styles

Retro shoes make a person look as if they are coming out of a different era in time. Examples of retro shoes are Mary Janes. This trend is another one that may seem controversial for many shoe wearers, especially those who are more conservative. Yet, with the right pair of retro shoes, a person can still look classy without appearing out of place in today's time.

More Flip-Flops

Flip-flops are an excellent shoe in the summer time. They help keep the feet dry, (which is especially important if a person sweats a lot or just came from the water) and they are inexpensive. They can also fit a large variety of feet. Yet, there are two downsides with them. First, they are not very good for long-distance walking, as you might notice a blister from walking too much in a pair of flip-flops. Secondly, a person needs to make sure their toes are well-manicured, since flip-flops expose the top portion of the foot. People who have foot conditions will not look attractive in flip-flops. Even women with unpainted toenails won't look as good, (regardless of whether or not their toenails are healthy). So, the best solution is to resolve any health issues associated with the foot along with painting the toenails. In fact, with the right color nail polish, the look of the flip-flop can be accentuated more when the toenails get painted.
