The transparent sandal was a hit in the 1990s and now it’s back with a bang and promises to be the object of desire of all fashionistas.
Only those who lived in the 90s know what the feeling of transparent sandals was. Everyone had or wanted to have a plastic clog or sandal. Despite offering a freer and more sophisticated look, the transparent sandal was not comfortable footwear. In addition to the foot being “wobbling” inside the shoe, what bothered me most was the fact that it sweated a lot, making it blurry. However, today the trend is back with a bang and with a makeover that promises to combine style with comfort.
So, straight from the 1990s and 200s, the transparent sandal was resurrected and promises to be the sensation of the coming seasons. She arrived with everything and won the hearts of fashionistas, entering street style and adapting to the most varied styles.
Many people may still turn their noses up at transparent sandals, but the fact is that these shoes can be very stylish and versatile, with the benefit of lengthening the silhouette. Therefore, the proposal of the new transparent sandal is to bring elegance and delicacy to the feet, becoming the object of desire of all fashionistas.
Therefore, today we will share fashion tips for including transparent sandals in your outfits. Don’t worry, if you’re still apprehensive about this trend, you can start slowly, as the shoe is back completely revamped, with options for all tastes.
Trendy transparent sandal
The transparent sandal is characterized by having an “invisible” finish, which can be on the strap, straps or heel. This type of shoe first appeared in the 1990s, but at first it didn’t please everyone. This was because it was somewhat uncomfortable, as the plastic caused a lot of sweat, leaving the shoe slippery and blurry. But even so, it ended up becoming a widely used trend at the time and in the early 2000s.
When it went out of fashion, many people were grateful, but the fact is that this trend is back with a vengeance now and has already earned its place in the fashionista’s closet. Fortunately, footwear is now designed to offer, in addition to beauty and elegance, comfort to women’s feet.
Today the transparent finish appears on several footwear models, from flat sandals to pumps, ballet flats, oxfords and boots. The models vary between square, thin, wedge heels and others. The main materials are plastic and vinyl and they can be completely transparent or just with cutouts, which is a great option for those who are still unsure about the trend of transparency.
Therefore, versatility is one of the main differences in the return of the trend. With all these variations, transparent sandals can be used in all styles, from street style to classic and sophisticated.
How to wear transparent sandals
The cool thing about transparent shoes is the possibility of lengthening the silhouette, in addition to being very versatile. That’s right, this type of shoe matches every style, tone of clothing and accessories and occasion. That’s why we’ve put together some tips for using transparent sandals in your looks according to each style.
But, first of all, it is important to say that this trend may not please everyone at first. So, if you’re still wary of the transparent sandal trend, but don’t want to miss out, the first tip is to start slowly to get used to the transparency. Therefore, opt for sneakers and flats with transparent details, which in addition to being more comfortable are less conspicuous.
Classic style
For those who think that transparent sandals don’t match a classic look, you’re very wrong. It can be a difficult style to adapt to modern trends, but it is not impossible. Therefore, the ideal is to combine traditional pieces, such as a pencil skirt, tailored pants and a blazer. Opt for more open colors, which even with the transparency of the shoe will still maintain the sobriety of the look, while bringing modern nuances. Furthermore, the trick is to leave the chest showing, the more skin visible, the larger the silhouette will be.
Basic with style
The basics are never wrong, but you can innovate and bring more modernity to the look. For this, transparent sandals are perfect. Opt for models with thick straps on the instep, which in addition to being more comfortable go well with simpler, more unpretentious pieces. You can opt for a midi skirt and a simple, plain blouse in neutral colors and opt for utilitarian accessories to bring even more charm to the look. This tip also applies to work, you can’t go wrong with transparency combined with trousers and a blazer.
Modern
Transparent sandals are already a modern item, and they combine very well with other pieces of the same style. Therefore, the tip is to invest in looks that are all black or dark colors, and a mix of fabrics. Pantaloon pants, with a cinched waist and voluminous models, or leather ones go very well with asymmetrical blouses and modern prints. Combine this with a completely transparent shoe or one with black cutouts and you will be a hit.
Day to day
It’s not only on special and formal occasions that transparent sandals transform your look. In everyday life, the trend of the moment could not be missed.
