Bracelets and/or anklets for straps – is this the new thing in roman sandals?

New sandal arrivals are showing more and more of this style and here are just 3 of them:

Giuseppe Zanotti E00327s

They brought out the bling for these Giuseppe Zanotti roman sandals. And for a whopping $1,360, there better be real gold or silver on those bracelet straps!

7 For All Mankind Caprice

Here’s something a little bit more subdued (but still relatively expensive at $250.00). The “bracelets” are decorated with sparkly studs to give an illusion of opulence and to probably justify that 250-dollar price tag. But it’s not very successful on these roman sandals because don’t they look like hair ties from afar? There are scrunchies even sparklier than these.

Steven Atone

These sandals from Steven by Steve Madden are the cheapest of the three but this is the only one that doesn’t look like you’re wearing your mother’s jewelry or hair ties on your ankles. The antique-finish studs aren’t glaringly calling for attention – except of course if you purchase the yellow or red colors of these sandals. $119.95.

Are you liking the bracelet strap trend on roman sandals? Or do you think bracelets should stick to staying on arms and wrists where they belong?
