Plain? No, just patterned

When Vicki Olson, a partner in What’s Hot in Memphis, Tenn., went on her spring fashion-buying trip in January, it was the shoes that knocked her socks off. They were in polka dots, stripes, plaids, paisleys and animal prints.
“Print shoes are the newest, freshest thing going on this summer,” said Olson, who ordered five styles for early spring and five more styles set to arrive now. Her young customers pounced quickly on girly plaid wedges, and her older customers bought striped and embroidered stack heels.
“We’ve done well with them,” said Peria Gober, the owner of Peria shoe boutique in Memphis. Gober said young women wear the prints with jeans and leggings, and her older customers wear them with slacks or colorful dresses.
Patterned shoes may be prints on silk faille, cotton or patent leather, or they may be woven stripes or embroidered twills in styles from flats to stack heels to stilettos. They work well with spring’s brightly colored shiny bags.
Patterned shoes often have more coverage. So if you admire summer’s sexy little thongs but can’t pull them off, hide your battered tootsies among the flora and fauna of the new prints. You’ll still have the hottest feet going.
