SHOE PORN THURSDAY: Roberto Cavalli

Posted on July 21, 2016 by Trends & Tribulations

Fringe can easily take on the bohemian feel of the wild west, or embody the lavish glamour of the 1920’s and 1930’s. These sandals are a shining example of the latter. Covered in an ornate gold color, these exude all of the beauty and charm of old hollywood that only film noir seems to capture so eloquently.

Pair these sandals with a simple LBD, red lipstick, and as much gold jewelry as your heart desires (which is always too much, right ladies?).

For inspiration, look to celebrities and street style stars who are wearing it in different and new, fashion-forward ways. Try it in a bold color, like Aida Domenech, above, with sneakers or oxfords, or in a sleeveless style. The options are endless.

His shoes are anything but boring, as evident with his giant eye shoes and futuristic, sculptural shoes. This pair of boat shoes are emblazoned with a detachable colorful shoelace motif, which naturally raises the cute factor by 110%.
