This casual combo of a light blue denim jacket and a pencil skirt is super easy to pull together without a second thought, helping you look amazing and prepared for anything without spending too much time going through your wardrobe.
For something more on the classier side to complement your getup, add a gladiator heel.
A gladiator heel is a kind of footwear that is known for its distinct look of straps or strings paired with high heels. They are offshoots from the traditional gladiator sandals worn in ancient Greece and Rome. Back then, these sandals were regarded as status symbols.
Though traditionally flat, the modern incarnation of the gladiator sandals come in various types and forms.
A defining characteristic is the height of the straps. Generally, they come as high up as the knees or thighs, as low as the ankles, or somewhere in between. High cut gladiator heels are definite eye-catchers. They are flashy and generally made to call attention.
Styling gladiator heels with Pants and Trousers
You may try channeling the Roman vibe by pairing your gladiators with a long tunic dress or maxi-style halter dress. Most gladiator sandals are versatile, and look good with either plain or trendy dresses, mini or maxi. For printed and colorful dresses, you still have to think about balance. If you’re wearing a print dress, make sure the color of sandals is solid-colored and the design is simple.
Styling the Gladiator heel with Pants and Trousers
Gladiator will look fabulous with trousers that fit close to the ankle, such as cropped pants, chinos, or harem pants. For a sophisticated yet chic office outfit, choose a pair with heels, while for an effortless and timeless, casual look, grab a pair of wide legged jersey or linen trousers, roll up the pants a little for a laid-back vibe, and show off your gladiator sandals.
Styling the Gladiator heel with Leggings and Skinny Pants
The simplest way to wear gladiator sandals is to pair them with your favorite pair of jeans to hide your ankle and calf and at the same time showing off your pretty pedicure and fun, strappy sandal. For a dressy look, wear a chic tee and cardigan, or choose a colorful T-shirt and layers for a simpler, fashionable outfit.
Styling the Gladiator heel with a Skirt
When pairing gladiator heel with a skirt, especially midi skirts or dresses, a cool casual vibe will comes to mind.
As or mini-skirts, if you’ve got short and petite legs then flaunt them in mini-skirts to make them look longer with the gladiator sandals.
It injects a sense of playfulness into your outfit by finishing with a pair of gladiator heels. So if it's a warm afternoon and you want to look chic without exerting much effort, this outfit will do the job in no time flat.
So if you're in search of an insta-worthy outfit on a boiling hot summer day, you found it.
