Let's talk about gladiator sandals, y'all

Good Morning lovely people!
Today I'm going to talk about Gladiator Sandals or Lace Up Sandals, which are a very big trend this Summer. Let's break it down a little bit:

Brief Description: Traditional gladiator sandals are flat-soled, open-toed shoes that feature multiple straps. The shaft of a gladiator sandal usually extends to above the ankle, and at least part-way up the leg, typically reach mid-calf to just below the knee (by About Style).


Were on the runway of: Alexander McQueen, Isabel Marant, Chloe, Givenchy, Marni, Hermès, Hugo Boss, Dsquared2 and Valentino.


You can see them on: Jessica Alba, Anna Dello Russo, Gisele Bundchen, Jamie Chung, Anja Rubik, Rita Ora and Chiara Ferragni.
