Summer trends for this year are still leaning toward all things bright and glittering. This means subtle metallics and smart use of crystals and other shiny details are popular with most of the leading designers. Though men’s sandals aren’t embellished with diamante detail too often, sandals for women and girls with diamante and crystal detailing are readily available for purchase online.
Diamante sandals are typically designed with special occasions in mind. But there are a number of more casual diamante and crystal sandals on the market this season. For example, Marc Jacobs has a pair of glamorous crystal flip flops on offer – they’re white, have a large crystal on the front and a crystal for the heel. Needless to say, they don’t come cheap. Other casual diamante sandals to add a little sparkle to your summer days and nights include the flat leather diamante sandal from ASOS, as well as a variety of jewelled flat sandals and flipflops from Barrats.
For the more formal requirements on your social calendar, consider Ravel’s Rather sandal – they’re affordable, available in a stunning red or black and feature a chunky crystal cluster on the toe. Similarly, Dune’s Kalliant diamante sandals offer a subtle sparkle suitable for special occasions at a reasonable price. Another affordable option comes from Office, where the Cloud 9 Sparkle combines all the current trends – diamante ribbons, animal print panels and vibrant red leather into a single strappy sandal.
Diamante sandals are popular – making them easy to find online. When choosing diamante sandals online, be sure you’re buying from a reputable retailer with a clear and flexible return policy. This is particularly important when you’re considering more expensive designer brands. Aim to buy from retailers who can vouch for the authenticity of their merchandise – if you’ve got the opportunity to visit a local shop and have a look at the real deal before receiving your order, it’ll give you a better idea of what to expect.
