Top Spring 2008 Trends in Women's Shoes


If you're getting anxious to update your shoe closet for Spring 2008, you'll want to make sure you pick a few pairs that are right in line with the season's trends. The stylish ensembles from Fashion Week runways in September included a touch of feminine elegance from the '20s and '30s, along with Grecian inspired looks from centuries gone by. What does this all mean in the shoe department? The season calls for nude-colored pumps and flats, as well as white t-strap sandals with super-high heels. Here are more of the top Spring 2008 trends for women's shoes:

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Sandals with Fringe Detailing
Add a super-feminine fringe to a simple slip on sandal for a unique take on the basic look. Donna Karan made the best of this look on the NY Fashion Week runways, and it will be a leading trend for spring and summer. Fringe details made an appearance in Fall/Winter 2007 on boots and pumps, but (as usual), not everyone approved. Sandals may be a better option for simpler tastes this year.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Python T-Strap Sandals
Skip the exotic skin handbag this season---or just match it up with your shoes---to capture the trend in the T-strap sandal. Python and croc-embossed sandals with covered heels and simple crossover buckles are a top trend this Spring; look for styles in red, gold, metallics, and basic black.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Vinyl Sandals and Flats
Vinyl shoes are a popular choice for 2008, and are making an appearance in flats, simple heels, but most of all, in sandals. Pick up yours in the classic clear style, or sport a shimmering rhinestone or buckle for a unique touch. From dress pumps to casual sandals, vinyl is a top trend for Spring. Take a look at the MARC by Marc Jacobs Jeweled Vinyl Flat for inspiration.
Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Patent Oxfords
Glossy oxford pumps and booties continue on into spring season in bold colors and even a few metallic, crocodile-embossed styles. Oxford pumps offer a no-nonsense touch to your ensemble, and the year's best picks can be found in glossy blue, red, yellow, and metallic versions in gold and silver. They're great with the pantsuits of the season too!

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Pink Pumps and Sandals
Pink continues to be a popular color this season, and is making an appearance in pink/black, and pink/white combinations. This year calls for a little more 'boldness' than usual, so don't be surprised to stumble across shocking pink and flamingo shades on your next shoe run. The Miu Miu Croc Bow Slide is a great start.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Jeweled Thong Sandals
All that glitters is now making its way to the shoe department with oversized jewels and embellishments on the simple thong sandal. Look for gold, silver, and colored gemstones for a glamorous touch. The Giuseppe Zanotti Jeweled Thong Sandal is just one example of this trend.

Spring 2008 Women's Shoes Trend: Gladiator Flats
Flats continue to be a strong trend this season, but there's no reason to settle for the ballet flats any longer. A gladiator flat with simple detailing provides plenty of comfort with a buckled ankle strap for balance. The Braided Gladiator Flat from Stella McCartney is one example of this trend.

From girly pink sandals to metallic python pumps, Spring 2008 trends for women's shoes offer plenty for all tastes and personalities. Round out your spring wardrobe with a few of the season's latest trends!
