Hello, my darlings! How are you doing, this lovely day? Are you excited for the weekend? I know I am. Ever since we got out of the lockdown, I have been craving the beach more than ever and the temperature that keeps rising surely calls for a dip in the sea - all safety rules followed, of course.
Even if you are currently still at home, or live far away from the beach, there are many things you can occupy yourself with, fashion being number one on the list. That is why I wanted to dedicate this post to a trend that has taken the fashion world by storm lately.
Thin strap heels have been all over my Instagram feed for the past few months. From all the designer collections that have launched and our favorite fashion bloggers to all my IG friends, I believe it is safe to say that everyone and their mom has purchased a pair of these sleek sandals in, at least, one color.
The Pros
These shoes constitute a refreshing change from all the monstrous pairs that have been dominating the runways and the streets in the past few years. As someone who has never been a fan of the "ugly-shoe-trend", I certainly favor this more dainty and ladylike option.
If you opt for a neutral color and a clean-cut heel, you've got yourself a versatile and timeless accessory that could complement most of your outfits. If, on the other hand, you are feeling more adventurous, a statement heel and a bold color are guaranteed to make you stand out and could, potentially, be re-worn at a party or two in the years to come.
The Cons
If you wish to stick out from the crowd and not blindly follow the trends, then this shoe is probably not the best pick for you. If that is the case, you may want to try some embellished designer flats from brands like Prada and Miu Miu, which are fresh, different, and perfect for summertime.
Additionally, thin strap heels are a gamble when it comes to flattering your figure. If you go for a very thin and short heel and have bulkier legs (like I do, from all those years playing volleyball), you shouldn't be expecting these shoes to do you any favors.
The Styling
Nonetheless, these sandals are some of the most easy-going accessories that have emerged in the past few years. As you can see in the photos I have selected, you can style them with pretty much anything and have yourself a fashionable outfit.
Pair them with your jeans to make your look more feminine, enhance the elegance of a dress or skirt, pick a nude color to make your legs appear longer, or try a fun hue to spice up any outfit. The options ate truly endless and totally up to you and your creativity.
The Verdict
Personally, I am all up for trends that suit my style and I would very much like to give this one a go. After all, a pair of these would go great with so many items from my closet and a girl can never have too many shoes... Right?
