Not Black, Not Red—Fashion Enthusiasts in Their 40s and 50s Are Embracing This Chic Sandal Color Trend Instead.
I’ve been on the lookout for street-style trends in Italy, paying attention to the summer fashions that celebrities are embracing during the hottest days of the season. Dressing for a Mediterranean summer means fewer layers and a bit more fun. With long evenings and sun-drenched days setting the ambiance, it feels natural to exchange an occasional neutral outfit for something more vibrant—and in my view, there’s no more stylish way to achieve this than with a pair of gold sandals. This week, I noticed the elegant hue on two of Italy’s most fashionable guests: Amal Clooney and Jennifer Lopez, each showcasing her own version of the shiny trend.
Opting for tall gold wedge sandals, Amal incorporated the metallic shade to add a subtle sparkle to her summer outfit. Paired with a striped two-piece and a brown leather bag, the shimmering footwear enhanced her look without overpowering it, providing her polished ensemble with a high-summer vibe. In the meantime, JLo, also seen in Italy recently, sported flat leather flip-flops in a soft gold shade. The metallic sandals brought light and dimension to her printed coordinate, adding flair without clashing with the bold print.
Not far from neutral, gold sandals are among the simplest ways to rejuvenate a summer wardrobe. If you're aiming to add an elegant touch to your warm-weather shoe collection, this color trend is worth investing in now. Continue reading to check out my selection of the finest gold sandals below.
