WOMENS SHOES: GLORIOUS GLADIATORS

Gladiators make yet another come back this season as the must have footwear of the summer, with its ever increasing popularity beating that of last summer’s phenomenon. A shoe that can prove popular 2000 years after first being worn has surely shown that it has stood the test of time and is ultimately a style staple to stay!

Womankind’s answer to the killer heel: the gladiator sandal offers a glamorous alternative to blisters and foot ache! They come in an array of shapes, sizes and colours offering plenty of variety on the market to suit everybody and anybody! Metallic coloured gladiators are all the rage this season, however black and tan remain just as fashionable!

Knee high styles are working their way down from the catwalks to the high street and look good with denim shorts, skirts and dresses or anything which shows off a little leg! For a more covering alternative, team ankle high ‘glads’ with leggings or longer attire - both look great!

As the perfect accessory in themselves, there is no need for heavy jewellery so don’t overdo it; particularly with more dramatic gladiators such as black knee highs with lots of straps and detailing. However bold and chunky jewellery can set off more modest glads perfectly!

With such choice you’ll be stuck not to find an appealing style for any individual. After all, how can one argue with centuries of fashion refinement?
