Gladiator sandals and skinny jeans, a clever look

I was in my local shopping centre, which is not known for its foremost style, when I saw a girl with an effective but inexpensive look.

She was wearing ankle high brown gladiator sandals (I think from K-Mart), skinny blue jeans that bunched at her ankles, a grey diagonally striped batwing top (rather 80s) and a small brown handbag with a cross-the-body strap (not costing more than $20).

The match of grey and brown wasn’t working for me (it was more of a tan and light grey). The clever part of the outfit was what she had done with the sandals.

Rather than the jeans covering the sandals in the normal, boring way, she had fastened them over the jeans at the ankles, emphasising the sandals and the skinniness of the jeans, while creating a subtle harem pant look. The whole outfit couldn’t have cost more than $80 but it looked great.

If you own gladiator sandals, consider wearing them over your pants for an interesting twist.
