Gladiator sandals got a glam makeover for spring. Designers treated the style, which tends to have a laid-back appeal, to an update that balanced a '70s vibe with a modern edge. What's most refreshing about the style is that it's not just for the festival or boho girl. For spring, designers accessorized an array of looks with gladiator sandals. Just take a look at the Chloé spring/summer 2015 collection (pictured above), for which Clare Waight Keller finished off suede short sets and dainty white dresses with gladiators.
