Kick To Spring
' As women kick off their
winter boots, they can look
forward to slipping into the
new footwear of spring.
And spring ’85 offers
enough styles to please a
wide range of tastes.
While the classic plain
pump is always desirable,
the newest pumps are any
thing but plain. Softened
with draping and shirring,
they lean toward very fe
minized styling. Scalloped
top lines are popular as are
open toes or “sandalized
pumps.”
“Draped, pleated and
wrinkled designs are im
portant women’s dress
shoe looks this season,”
says buying executive
Kevin Vogl of Kinney
Shoes. “There are also a lot
of ornamental treatments,
such as bows.”
More big news is in heel
heights. Whether a wo
man’s preference is flat,
medium or high, all are
available and work well
with today’s clothing.
While high heels are tra
ditionally considered
dressier, flats and mid
heels now fit into this ca
tegory.
White is “far and away"
the number one color,
according to Mr. Vogl, and
neutrals, such as beige and
bone, and soft pastels are
all very popular. Vivid co
lors like royal blue and
fiery red are also exciting.
With the many choices of
color and styling, women
can delight in packing
away winter’s looks for
spring’s fabulous footwear.
