Trend Spotlight: Gold Sandals

Amid a sea of pastel, airy hues that are indeed ladylike but hardly likely to pack a punch, you might find yourself pining for something extra this season. Perhaps something that adds a little panache, a little boldness to the equation? Try one of the most classic of hues: gold.

Though it's naturally brazen, gold doesn't necessarily have to equate with over-the-top extravagance every time. In lieu of substantial gold pieces, try a pair of sandals instead. They're just right for adding that coveted hint of gilt to your look without stealing the spotlight completely. These flats are so pretty, you'll want to wear them endlessly:
Beautifully embellished with radiant crystals and sturdy gold coils, these Seychelles Dolores sandals ($69.95) brings a luxurious angle to an otherwise casual shoe. Wear them to dress up your most basic looks.

These Dolce Vita Elijah ankle-strap sandals ($137.95) showcase such amazing attention to detail. Unlike typical metallic sandals, these feature just a hint of shine. Their rather notable design lends them prominence, so keep the rest of your outfit somewhat understated.

Slightly thicker straps make Nordstrom's BP. Vita sandals ($49.95) more formidable than their sinewy counterparts. They're embellished with a scattering of metallic studs for a rocker-worthy touch.

If plain old gold doesn't intrigue you, try something with another color worked into the mix. These Tibi Barrett sandals ($352.95) incorporate a black fabric strap embellished with grommets and trimmed with a touch of pink.

A crisp, bold interpretation of the fabulous gladiator sandal, these BCBGirls Peter flats ($49.70) look fabulous with everything from beach cover-ups to denim skirts.

These sleek Maxstudio Hamel thong sandals ($94.95) exude a certain sophistication that makes them prime partners for pretty spring dresses.
