What better way to modernize a classic sandal than to add some silver studs? Studs are both tough and trendy, and can be used for a bit of contrast when worn with a girly summer dress. Studs also provide a funky touch to basic sandals, and work perfectly with all casual wear. Throw on studded sandals or flip flops with a pair of shorts or jeans and you are ready to go!
