Fashion Trend: Gladiator Sandals

Okay, it’s official -- the gladiator has been circling Spring fashion for awhile, and for summer, it has landed smack dab in the middle of the Hot Trend Zone. Which is where we like to hang out (within reason, of course). The gladiator, whether flat or heeled, is one of those dramatic footwear options that can make an outfit, so we’re kind of excited about it. That being said, it can also break an outfit, so the main thing to remember is one of our favorite mantras: Keep It Simple. Some folks can get away with a floral dress, statement necklace, giant clutch and gladiator sandals (umm, think Sarah Jessica Parker) but most of us cannot. Keep it sophisticated -- not costumey -- by making your gladiators the focal point.

Some glads we like:

Madden Girl Brandy Gladiator Sandal, $49.95, DSW

Vicky, on sale $39.99, Bakers
