In one of our recent splurge vs. save stories, we drew attention to the gladiator sandal and judging by some of your responses, it’s safe to say that the gladiator is still ranked high on your spring wish list. But this season, there are variations of the favored sandal and we love the many studded styles we’ve been seeing. Sigerson Morrison’s suede version with silver studs has an element of edge but is still chic and wearable. The subdued taupe color makes it easy to pair with brights and neutrals and the mini wedge adds a little bit of height. For a budget-conscious option, we like Steven by Steve Madden’s studded front sandal in pewter. It has the same studded cuff and is similar in style but is much easier on the wallet.
