Gladiators: this summer’s warrior trend

Let’s talk about this summer’s biggest shoe trend….the gladiator sandal. By now you have seen them in every spring/summer catalog and on every new shoe display. They are fun, whimsical, perfect for the upcoming festival season and will add a little edge to any maxi dress this season. So how do you nail this trend and find your inner warrior princess?

For those that were granted legs for days your options are limitless with this trend! You can pull off a knee high gladiator, a lace up, or an ankle length beauty.

Those that have slimmer legs this trend works really well for you as you can wear a taller gladiator that zips and it will fit your calf. A lace up and adjustable option is perfect as well because you can tighten it as much as you need.

For the petite gals out there the options are a little more limited because the taller gladiator can cut off the legs and make them appear shorter. But, a pair that is nude or metallic will work nicely, the nude won’t cut your lines and leave your legs looking longer. The short gladiator hitting at the ankle is also a good look. Options that lace up are nice as well because you can tie them as high or low as you desire.

For the thicker calf girls the tall gladiator can be a bit of a challenge but, you can still embrace the trend with a lace up option that allows you to adjust the width. It is best to pick a fabric that will stretch like a soft leather or suede to give maximum comfort. You can also opt for a shorter version.

Whatever the size or shape this trend is a must have this season!!
