Studs are such a prickly trend—no pun intended, of course. Do them right and you’ll look too chic to believe, but do them wrong and you’ll look like a disgruntled teenager who just stumbled out of Hot Topic. Further complicating studs is the fact that they can look either awful or awesome, depending on how they appear and on what they appear—but there doesn’t seem to be much of a middle ground. Studs on gloves? It might work, but only if you can manage to find the perfect pair. What about on a blazer? Again, it could be killer (hopefully not literally), but only if the design is good. And since so many designs are not good, it’s risky business.
That’s why we’re thrilled to see that Shopbop is selling these gorgeous Zanotti Gladiator Sandals. It’s an all over studded sandal in a subtle beige tone with an admirable 4.5 inch heel.These high-heel leather gladiator sandals feature gold-plated studs and a back zip and look ever-so sexy on your legs! The simple studding detail works nicely in the pattern and the leather soles mean you probably won’t be nursing any blisters if you decide to rock these sandals all night long! We love the understated color as it works great with this season’s neutral palette. Always make a statement with Zanotti.
This shoe is to die for. The color, the studs, the heel, all has my name on it.
