Clearly, It's a Trend

Clear shoes....done well, stunning. Done poorly, your feet look cheap. And if your feet look cheap...

So how much clear is enough? And what is that clear stuff even made of?

Is it a similar material to those jelly's you wore when you were young, made of PVC plastic? Or, even worse...the material they use to make Crocs??

No, these beautiful shoes I am about to show you are much more elegant, and delicate on the foot. Most of the shoes you see below have acrylic or vinyl panels...basically different forms of plastic.

So, why go clear? One of the main reasons is the optical illusions that it creates on your foot. Follow me through some of my favorite shoes...and you can clearly see why it's a trend that is here to stay.

These Sophia Webster shoes are amazing. 

With the pop of color at the toe and the heel, these are sure to turn heads.

Jimmy Choo...I love you.

These Schultz are a cool dichotomy between delicate clear on the toe, and rough studs on the heel.

These Jeffrey Campbell are a great price, and called a "Supermodel Heel" for a reason...

These Sophia Webster pumps have bold splatter on the heel, and coolly go clear towards the toe.

And last, but not least, these clear throwback  heels. 

I had to list these...because these look exactly like a pair my mom had when I was younger.

If you decide to go clear, there are many options out there, at multiple price points. But, always keep in mind with clear shoes...less is sometimes more. If you choose a clear upper, no need to do a clear 5" heel. If you choose a 5" heel, maybe just a peek of clear vinyl.Clear shoes were "in" 40 years ago...and continue to stay relevant today. 

So, go forth and shoe shop...in the World of Cha Cha Shoes
