Ever since Isabel Marant took over the feet of fashionistas and celebrities worldwide with her ankle leather strapped Gava and Gwen heels, it seems the world of shoe fetishes followed in her 'footsteps' and the ankle strap was re-born.
While the style of this shoe is classic, the leather cuff gives it a modern edge that creates a sassy look. This re-invented version of the original ankle-strap shoe focuses on the strap as the actual feature which can instantly style an outfit. Many fashion experts are cleverly wearing wrist cuffs or bracelets around their ankles for that same creative effect.
As a general rule of thumb, ankle straps will cut off your leg. Choose a pair with a wide strap or one that comes quite high up the leg to give the impression of leaner, longer legs. Thinner straps tend to be more flattering and have a sleaker finish. They work perfectly with pencil skirts or cropped skinny trousers.
