Meilily SHOEvolution! Strappy to Stripes

Meilily SHOEvolution Concept

Follow this visual style evolution from shoe to shoe, inspired by Meilily’s favorite artisinal shoe shopping site, FarFetch.com!

How does one get from the strappy sandal to striped boot?…

Meilily presents a visual SHOEvolution concept in black and white to represent the style transition from sandal weather to boot weather and from straps to stripes. Check it out below, along with details on these shoes available on FarFetch.com, Meilily’s shoe inspiration…

Meilily SHOEvolution Concept Fulfilled: Strappy to Stripes

SHOEvolution Details (evolving left to right, top to bottom):
- Allesandro Dell’Acqua Corset-laced Strappy Sandals (strappy leather laces – sold out)
- Marni Navy Rubber Mary Jane heels (curved rubber with strap)
- Beatrix Ong Snake and Leather Platform Gladiators (strap-like curves and cut outs)
- Sonia Rykiel Wedge Heel Court Shoes with Flower (curvy wedge with black and ivory suede)
- Guiseppe Zanotti Cut Out Lace Boots (geometric cut outs for a strappy sandal effect)
- Bless Blue and White Plastic and Leather Boot (stretchy navy and white stripes – sold out)

From laced strappy sandals to curvy gladiators then on to geometric gladiator boots and stripes, this “Strappy to Stripes” SHOEvolution features a mixture of the hottest trends of the year. Cut out gladiator strappy heels anyone?

Frankly, Meilily has not been such a fan of the surprisingly omnipresent gladiator flats (flats?!), but the strappy quasi-gladiator heels by Beatrix Ong and Guiseppe Zanotti are rather fashionable and non-objectionable! Have your gladiator shoes evolved yet?

Hope you enjoyed this visual style evolution! from Meilily
