2000s T-Bar Sandals Are Back

T-Bar sandals have lived so many different lives. First in the 40s and 50s, when they were considered elegant shoes that were solely suitable for important occasions. This undoubtedly gave them the title of classic footwear, however, made them seem 'boring' to newer generations. So, the only decade that could give them a new meaning was the 2000s, where they were perceived through a more glamorous lens, as the perfect shoes to pair with dresses and trousers alike. And although T-Bar sandals have been reinvented, what hasn't change is their elegant essence, which characterises the shoes to this day. In the 2000s, one designer took it upon himself to change the way T-bar sandals were perceived: Tom Ford for Gucci. In an era where sensuality was the defining character of the Italian house, such sandals were paired with animal print dresses and even swimwear. This, without a doubt, showed a bolder side of the T-Bar sandals, with a vertical upper bar in gold adding a touch of sophistication. Valentino in its Spring-Summer 2000 collection, on the other hand, gave us a more colourful and somewhat romantic interpretation of the T-Bar sandal. In bright pink, a small bow and green details that simulated leaves, this shoe was the perfect companion for a midi dress with ruffles, in red and white polka dots.

You can't talk about the Y2K era without mentioning extravagant looks, with daring necklines by Versace. As a luxury brand, the maison directed by Donatella Versace could not have shown T-Bar sandals on its runway in any other way than with opulence. A task that was achieved with a pair in gold, and that, without a doubt, gave a lot of sophistication to the bright pink, glittery ensemble. Getty Images.
