How To Wear Feathered Shoes For Spring

One of the biggest trends for spring is feathered shoes. It was a look we saw across the market, from runway labels to fast-fashion brands. Of course, Prada’s spring ’17 collection comes to mind, where Miuccia Prada ignited the trend with an entire lineup of feathered trims on jackets, pants and strappy sandals.

But are feathers actually wearable for every day? All signs point to yes. From the office to happy hour, see below five easy ways to wear the trend.

1. Wear it on a beach getaway
A feathered slide adds a whimsical touch to your poolside look. We love this colored version by Brother Vellies. Amp up the bohemian aesthetic with a tasseled dress, raffia bag and playful jewelry.

2. Wear it to grab brunch
Paying $20 for eggs never looked so good. Alexander Wang‘s feathered block heel sandal is a comfy but chic option for hanging out with friends. Wear it with a polished skirt and silver accessories.
