Shoe Trend :: Caged

I have covered shoes in the nude, cuffed shoes, and now, another hot trend to choose from: Caged. In the "shoe world", being caged-in is done with sexy straps and edgy interpretations. Here are some of my top caged-picks.

Cuffed and caged. I love the N.Y.L.A Bande Caged Sandal.  I love the sandal, slip-in look from the back, the subtle peep toe in front, the sexy skin exposure with both chunky and slim slits, and the ankle cuff closure. Edgy, sexy, statement. 

 
 
You can't go wrong with Michael Kors! His shoes have a glove-like fit that make you feel secure and confident. I adore the Juniper Platform Sandal in 'Pumice' and absolutely find a need for this in my spring/summer wardrobe! The canvas color is both versatile and classy and will go with anything in your closet. The braiding at the toe is nautical and balances well with the matte leather strap detailing up the front of the foot. It's also available in 'teak' (cognac) and black, however, the Pumice will stretch your buck!


Michael Antonio's Galian style reminds me of a casual spring day. It's available in three colors :: black, tan and green. I love the criss-cross caged detailing, the adjustable buckle closure and of course, the stacked platform wedge.


If you're a girl who likes a good flat, my choice is the Sam Edelman 'Hazel' style. It has an organic sense to it with twig-like straps that connect to slate colored stone embellishments. Not-to-mention, it exudes a subtle tribal/bohemian vibe if you are planning on incorporating the tribal trend this season.

My favorite cocktail style is Calvin Klein's Dylan Platform. It's sleek, slender, skinny and sexy. Wear this on your first date and you'll be sure to land a second! 

How much fun! Naughty Monkey always has a sense of uber trendy styles and this one speaks to their heritage. The two-toned Parade Sandal is playful and flirty. Available in white (as shown) and black, both with tan straps. Comments and compliments included!
