Here is a compilation of some of the most popular and trendy styles of footwear for women.
Ankle strap:
Ankle straps are sandals or pumps with single or multiple straps that fasten around the ankle. They look fabulous on thin, long-legged women. Even bulky feet can look good with ankle straps if you show more of your legs by wearing short or mid-length skirts.
Ballet flats:
Ballerina flats are flat heeled and closed-toe. They are low-cut and only cover your toes leaving the top of your foot open. They come in a variety of materials and designs. Satin looks elegant while leather has the casual look. Very popular among taller women and those who hate ankle pain.
Espadrilles:
Versatile, chic Spanish shoes that have a canvas upper and a flexible sole woven from rope or grass. Can have flat or high heels and sport a casual look. Great for warm weather, especially the 100% cotton ones.
Loafers:
These are low, leather shoes with broad flat heels. These are hugely popular casual step-in shoes with no laces or buckles. Great anytime anywhere footwear.
Mary Jane:
The broad strap that crosses over the top of the foot gives you the school-girl look. Mary Janes have short rounded toes and flat heels, and cover most your foot. There are several variants of the Mary Jane nowadays with different heel heights and ample designs, but the strap should still give it the traditional look.
Mules and clogs:
These are for flaunting the back of your foot. Mules and clogs are backless shoes with closed toes. Clogs are the ones with platform heels while mules can have any kind of heel like stiletto or kitten. Traditionally made of wooden heels, mules and clogs nowadays come in several kinds and gorgeous styles.
Platform shoes:
Platform shoes and sandals are those with thick soles under the front of the foot. 'Platform' does not refer to the heels. Wedge heels, stiletto heels and chunky heels all look hot with platforms. Platforms are a rage in women nowadays but they are not for everyone. While they look funky they are also heavy and you must compliment them with wide legged pants.
Slingback:
A slingback is a backless shoe that has a strap going behind your heel or ankle. It comes in both casual and classy styles with heel heights ranging from none to high. They could be closed-toe or peep-toe and have been popular since decades.
Wedge heels:
A wedge heel is a heel that runs from the back of the shoe to the middle or front, giving it a triangular shape. Wedges could range from low to high and popular among women who want heels but don't want its particular look.
