Luxury for Less: Chloe Gladiator Sandals

Gladiator sandals make a comeback this Spring Summer 2015 in the form of tall boots.

These gorgeous taupe leather cut-out gladiator sandal-style boots from Zara is a tenth the price of Chloe's $2,000 pair of boots. Made of supple polished leather instead of suede, this chic alternative is less flimsy than the Chloe pair.

These versatile flat summer shoes offer comfort and style at the same time and can be paired with long skirts, dresses, shorts or even over leggings if you are feeling adventurous.

These tall gladiator suede sandals by Chloe are more refined than Zara's rugged bohemian style boots. When paired with lace dresses as pictured on the runway, it looks more like lace-up ballerina shoes.

For a less feminine look, try the utility style suede jacket as a top and matching high-cut shorts for that unisex explorer look.

Which pair of boots do you prefer? Designer or high street for the win?
