One of the strongest trends for the new Spring 2010 season is color-related… or lack thereof! Neutral has made a BIG comeback this season when it comes to shoes. Nude pumps are actually not new on the red carpet, some of your favorite celebs already picked up this trend last season. And in case you didn’t know, every version of Christian Louboutin’s nude patent pump has sold out online amost immediately!

While this might seem contradictory to all the loud colors and bold patterns we are seeing in the magazines, consider the following:

We’ve all wondered what shoe to wear with a red dress, that funky psychedelic print, navy shift dress, or how to transition jeans from winter to spring.. the answer to all of these dilemmas is a pair of nude shoes. Lots to choose from style-wise – nothing beats a classic pump, and cage/perforated effect sandals will give you a fashion forward edge. Which also brings me to tomorrow’s On Trend Alert: Nail Polish!
