Gladiator Glam: 4 Ways to Wear Spring's Sexiest Sandal

Spring's sexiest shoe is undoubtedly the knee-high gladiator.  With a boho-meets-bondage aesthetic, these strappy sandals feel so modern that it is hard to believe their original roots date back thousands of years.  It can be a struggle to style such a statement shoe, so I am presenting four very different ways to wear it that cover ground from casual to cocktail.
