Orange is a big color for spring, as designers are using the hue in patterns or for the entire shoe. An orange platform peep toe or sandal makes a big statement. Pair it with a summer dress and your shoes will really pop, or pair it with jeans for a more subtle fashion statement. Complement your orange shoes with fruit punch colored nail polish for summer.

Nothing toughens up silky fabrics like a bold knot. Whether you are going for a nautical look or dressing for a black tie event, a knotted detail usually adds the perfect touch of sophistication to a sandal. Knots also provide texture, which is especially beautiful on metallic or patterned fabrics. Whether you opt for a dressy or casual shoe, a knot is a classic, yet modern detail that will definitely attract attention.
