Flats: A key Trend for Spring and Summer 2012

By Sarah Stuart Crandall


Flats are a key trend for Summer 2012. Ankle strap sandals, ballerinas, color-blocking and metallics lend pop to designer flats... You will never miss the heels. The shoe looks are bright colored, casual and comfortable to wear.The secret is in selecting the right ensemble that work with some of the best flats this season.

1. The Fendi B. Fab ankle strap sandal in multi-colored satin straps and a bright gold patent leather foot bed is an amazing complement for brightly printed swingy dresses. This look can take you from daytime to evening.

2. The Gucci champagne butter-soft calfskin ballerina ihas a low-cut vamp for a hint of toe cleavage. A bright gold GG Cage symbol emblem ornaments the front of the shoe. Wear them with one of the season's trendy striped tops and close-fitting cropped jeans or a pair of pleated shorts.

3. The classic Jack Rogers platinum wide thong sandal is another seasonal trend-setter originally popularised by Jackie Kennedy in the early 1960's. Avid fans affectionately call these their "Jacks". These look amazing with neutral lace or open-weave tops and slim pastel shorts. "Jacks" also coordinate well with lace a-line mini shifts.

4. The Fendi Attraction black ruched tulle sandal will cause you to feel like a ballerina. It's got a wrapped knot open toe vamp and suede zippered ankle. Pair these sandals with a set in waist full skirted dress reminiscent of June Cleaver. You can alternatively coordinate this sandal with gathered shorts or a romper. This look works rather well for day or evening.

5. Gucci's Emily thong sandals with double leather tassels attached to a signature gold-tone horse bit detail are classic in a trendy way. The bright-colored jeans of the season and a floral top are a great ensemble for these sandals. Pencil skirts worn with color-block tops or sweaters are also wonderful options for this summer.
