Fresh Sandals from Moschino, DVF, and Fossil

Here’s a fresh gladiator silhouette for the roman sandal junkie – the 8-strap or loop strap.

The strap of the sandal basically loops around to form the figure “8″, as in the case of the Fossil Lulu Sandal below:

Fossil Lulu Sandal, US$39

Of course, the classic gladiator silhouette with thick horizontal straps is still around. But because of its all-too-masculine appeal (and the fact that it is also height cutting), brands are now offering alternative styles that are more flattering to wear, such as the 8-strap.

This new breed of sandals comes with thinner and fewer straps that are less horizontally inclined. When worn, these sandals are more feminine and definitely much sexier to look at as it shows more skin on the feet.

Moschino, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Fossil are the latest brands to offer sandals with this kind of silhouette.

Moschino Chi, US$299

Fossil Lulu Sandal, US$39

Diane Von Furstenberg Kula, US$249

You can tell just by looking that these sandals are exceptionally sexy. The thin straps together with the curved silhouette that mimics a slithering snake create a sophisticated, more refined, yet sensual appeal that make it irresistible to have, even with the US$200++ price tag on the two designer pairs.

All three (3) sandals are available at Zappos.com.
