Trending Tuesday | Gladiators

I’m really excited to link up with Amanda, Katie, Kristina& Zelle for their first #TrendingTuesday post!

This week I wanted to get into the Gladiator Sandal. It’s been on trend for quite some time now – but as with any trend I wonder can I pull it off?! Especially the full length that goes almost up to the knees! I decided to break it up into three categories: High, Medium & Low.

High: One//Two//Three

Medium: One//Two//Three//Four//Five

Low: One//Two//Three//Four//Five

As with any fashion choice I make, my main concern is trying to figure out how to style it and I wonder can I wear it with a variety of outfits? Here are some looks I found as inspiration!

How do you feel about the gladiator sandal? Which height is the right one for you?

    I think they look great when they are styled right! I love them on Cara Loren but what doesn't she look amazingly perfect/gorgeous in lol. I also like the last pic. I bet they would look really good on you. You should get a pair and do a post! I know you could do an awesome job styling them! Iv'e never tried on a pair before so I'm not sure about them for me.

    I love these sandals but am a little nervous about actually being able to pull them off. I love the picture you posted with the navy skirt with these shoes – so cute and I never would have thought to pair them that way!

    Is it weird that the sight of these makes me want to go on vacation? Anyway. I'm obsessed with these! Don't think I can pull off the tall ones but I want a pair of short! I'm loving those from aeropostale! Thank you so much for linking up today! Xo to you!

    I absolutely love this look! I personally love when they have a little bit of heel to them. The really high ones I wish I could pull off but I think I'd get a side eye from a certain somebody πŸ˜‰ I really want a pair of gold ones for the Summer!

    I love the gladiator sandals!! I wish I could pull off the tall ones but my stupid calfs are too skinny and they just end up falling down. πŸ™ Love those last ones! I think I might try the medium ones and see if I can pull those off and if not, low it is! Haha!

    I'm more of a low gladiator girl, but those that rock the high ones pull it off so well!

    I love the way gladiator sandals look but I could never pull them off.

    I love the look of the knee high ones with a simple dress or outfit! I definitely don't think I could pull them off!

    I'm with you I'm always scared that I can't pull off trendy things. I think you can totally rock these especially the medium length. I love that first photo with the tall ones though

    I love the medium ones. The tall ones look great when styled on Pinterest, but I'm fairly certain I can't pull it off! πŸ™‚ xo

    not sure if i can get on this trend. as i'm only 5'2, i think they'd look totally ridiculous on me. plus i prefer as little on my feet as possible. i'm screwed this winter when i have to wear like 10 pairs of socks and boots. ahhhhh

    I love the trend, I just don't think I could pull it off. It seems like they wouldn't be comfortable either, but what about women's fashion is comfortable? πŸ˜›

    ooooh cute! not sure if i will ever be on the tall bandwagon but i am luh-oving the short / medium ones you posted. love the 2nd and 3rd inspiration photos you used so much.

    I definitely like the shorter ones the best.. the tall ones are trendy but I feel like you'd have to have teeny calves!

    I'm so short so I'm not sure I could pull these off completely…but I do like the look! (especially the ankle ones) PS Thank you SO much for hosting that fab spring giveaway! I am so excited/thankful! (shoutout to ya on the blog today pretty lady!) xoxo

    I just ordered some tall black ones to go with a black and white shirt dress. I hope they fit! I love this trend.

    I think the medium and low are my preference— the tall feel too much like a costume… Great round up!

    Those girls make the tall ones look so freaking hip! Love love love!

    I only have low ones, I feel like I couldn't pull off the high ones. It's probably all in my head though haha. I love the look πŸ™‚

    I feel so funny in gladiators. Not sure I can really pull them off well in AL. I love them on other people and I love your picks.

    I LOVE all of these but I feel like I couldn't pull off the really tall ones! And I'm 100% sure my husband would not be seen in public with me in them, haha! Men just don't understand the trends πŸ˜‰ I do want to pick up a short version for the summer though! Marshall's actually has some really great options out right now!

    I love love love those high gladiator sandals! It can be really hard to style them properly so you don't look crazy, but I still love them! My husband said they are not cute, but what does he know?! I am going to get the high ones!

    I enjoy a good low gladiator sandal, but I am not a huge fan of the high ones – I think they can look really costume-y if not done properly.

    Don't think I could pull off anything higher than the mid-shin, but girl friends above are rocking those thigh-highs for sure! It probably helps that they, well, have no thighs ha.

    I like them shorter.. I think the tall ones would look strange on my short legs, haha!

    I don't think I could pull it off but if I could it would be the low option.

    I always go on the lower side with gladiators because I have pretty athletic calves, and that can get pretty stocky in a hurry! But I love the tall gladiators on other girls! So fun. πŸ™‚

    I love gladiator sandals!!!! I can't go any higher than my ankle though… I feel like it would just look BIZARRE on me! haha

    I'm a mid to low lady! Not sure how I feel about the tall gladiators. I'm a short little peanut so I think it would just be too much on me!

    I feel like the high ones look best if you have pretty thin legs. I'd probably go with a lower pair if I bought some!

    I'm loving the low and medium… I don't know if I could pull off the high ones but they are super cute!

    love gladiator sandals, but afraid it would look like my legs were dying to get out. i'd try it though!

    I'm obsessed with gladiators!! I own 3 very different pair, and wear them on rotation. They're so comfy but make such a statement. Great post! XO

    I love that first pair! I can't remember ever owning a pair of gladiators though!
