Summer is almost here, and a new stream of fashion trends are being ushered in right along with it.
The season is set to be filled with platform shoes, thong and wedge sandals that are sure to give your closet a nice blast from the past. Here are a few we think will be the biggest:
Clogs
Clogs have been dubbed one of the “ugly shoes” that for a long time, were shunned in the fashion world. They have come back for full redemption. This is the trend you want to focus on this season. They are here to prove that they aren’t the clunky “mom” shoe that they used to be, but they are actually hot and trendy.
