Shoe trends for spring 2014: mid heels, hip sandal this summer

Shoe trends for spring 2014: mid heels, hip sandal this summer




After showing you the major trends for spring & summer 2014 in terms of clothing, it’s now time for the all-important shoes!
As most of you will know, I believe that the right shoes can add a lot to an outfit. Shoes can set the mood and often they will add a young & hip element to your outfit. There is no limit to what you can do with shoes. For more on this topic also see my article on how to have fun with shoes.
This week we will focus on mid heel shoes. Yes, I realise that some of you may not consider some of these shoes mid heel, but wait until you see the high heels!
Mid heel shoes are a great option for those days and evening when you want to wear heels, but still want to be able to walk decently. They are my shoes of choice whenever I have an event.
This season we have a lot of fun shoes to choose from! From closed to open booties, funky sandals and pretty pumps to blocky color blocked platforms.

Texture, open toe booties and color blocking

Some of the themes for this year’s shoes include the use of texture, color blocking, open toe booties. Examples can be found in the image above.

Arty, textured and colorful

Another major trend are colorful and arty kitten heels. Gold is very popular both for flats (more on that next week) and heeled shoes alike. The arty heels fit right into the arty and colorful trend. Pumps tend to be pointy toed.

Hipsandal this summer

pointy shoes are very hip this season and they are certainly on my wish list (if I can ever find ones that fit my wide feet).
But if you want to give your feet a break and let your toes feel the fresh breeze this summer, you may like to consider the arty open sandal instead.
Sandals with embellishments
Another major trend is the embellished sandals. Funky and hip!
Gold and silver
Both gold and silver shoes are popular. So take your pick!
