Attention to details
Attention to details
In terms of accessories, the details are what make the difference. Making a cheap bag look expensive involves choosing the right type of leather. And the same happens with the sandals, although they have cost you € 20 it will seem that they are € 300 if they have some metallic detail, such as the studs, just like the ones Kaia Gerber wears. We help you by showing you the most beautiful models of the season …

The more country (and low cost) models can also seem much more expensive thanks to the studs.

It is a combination because pearls also contribute to 'raising' the price of your sandals.

These candy pink sandals are one of our favorites of the selection and the combo formed by the fringe applications and the flower-shaped studs could not seem more exclusive.

The studs always have a rebellious touch and more if they are worn as many as in this design.

The most elegant high-heeled sandals can also benefit from the benefits of studs, even if they are as tiny as these. Thanks to them they seem much more expensive.

This summer, mule sandals are triumphing, and studded with studs seem much more expensive.

Footwear as humble as espadrilles acquires a new dimension if we add some studs.

Take a look at these sandals. Only two strips and white. They seem very simple but thanks to the studs they become an object of desire.
From Pull & Bear, € 9.99 (was € 19.99)

We have loved this low-key way to add a touch to some simple and fashionable sandals like these. The studs are placed as a trim on the sole giving them a precious touch of shine.
From Pull & Bear, € 15.99 (was € 25.99)
Platforms

Platform sandals can also look higher quality if they have such original details as these rivets.

These sandals follow the same pattern of adding micro studs around the sole.
From Pull & Bear, € 15.99 (was € 25.99)
In all types of footwear

This maxim of the studs not only serves to increase, albeit visually, the price of sandals. You can also take advantage of it in other types of footwear such as these moccasins.
From Bershka, € 12.99 (was € 25.99)
Appearances can be deceiving, of course, and they do so in life as well as in fashion. And it's all a matter of paying attention to details, mind you. And it is that in a matter of accessories, elements such as metallic applications, a few simple tacks, can make a difference and make Zara sandals look like Manolo Blahnik, just as an engraved leather makes a Mango bag pass for a Hermès one.
What details make cheap sandals look expensive?
- Shiny skin. In fabrics such as suede you can notice more than shoes are cheap but if you choose synthetic leather sandals that shine, things change. The same happens with fabrics such as satin or velvet.
- Buckles . Metallic details such as buckles also raise the 'visual price' of your footwear. And it is that they add value to the design.
- Studs . We are not talking about the typical square studs of the heavy belts . We refer to those cute little rounds that adorn many of this season's sandals and that make it seem that they have cost you a lot. They can be of various sizes, from the smallest, and in the same tone as the straps of the sandal, to the largest and in contrast. They can also be attached to the soles, either on the edge or edging. They are discreet but capable of making a difference.
- Combine with other elements. If we also add other elements to the studs such as pearls, rhinestones or fringes, we can also make our sandals look much more expensive than they really are.
