Expert talk For women: Strappy sandals, though unlike last year, this summer the look is simple with delicate straps. The colours are vibrant green and fluorescent are big too. Also, the trend for loafers has spread to women, and a lot of different materials including faux skin, patent leather and prints are being introduced in the style. The ballerina is still here but with an edgy look - studded, printed, sequined treatments will be in fashion. For men: Two-tone shoes are making a big comeback this summer. One can also opt for patterned shoes as patterns or prints are in demand this season. Colourful shoes such as red, royal blue, military green and mustard among others are in vogue as well. - Riyaz Gangji, footwear designer. Compilation: Ruchika Kher
