Instead, they're beautiful and romantic and there's something fantastical about them too. The abstract floral print on these silky sandals provides a dreamy look, especially with the [ribbon straps wrapping around the legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handmade-sandals) in an ascending, criss-crossing manner. The strips spiraling from the ankles force the eyes to move up against the wearer's silhouette, resulting them to perceive a long-legged look. The shoes have a chunky wooden heel and a sexy peep-toe. The 'Bizarre' Satin Ankle Wrap Sandals are the perfect addition to the [spring collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025), eluding a flirtiness from the [girlie floral design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loveshackfancy-x-havaianas). They truly embrace the concept of "love is in the air" as the spring weather comes around. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Abstract Floral Prints:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in fashion by using abstract floral prints in unique and unexpected ways. - **Ribbon Strap Sandals:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in footwear by exploring creative and unique designs for ribbon strap sandals. - **Chunky Wooden Heels:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in shoe design by experimenting with chunky wooden heels in various styles and materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the fashion industry by incorporating abstract floral prints into clothing and accessories. - **Footwear:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in the footwear industry by designing and manufacturing ribbon strap sandals with unique features and aesthetics. - **Shoe Design:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in shoe design by creating new and original designs featuring chunky wooden heels. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Unique Platform-Style Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platformstyle-sandals.md) - [Balletcore Heeled Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandy-liang-1.md) - [Pool Slide Heeled Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flipped-flop.md) - [Textured Floral Design Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oasis-society.md) - [Platform Statement Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/8inch-flipflops.md) - [Bridal Sandal Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/birkenstock-danielle-frankel.md) - [Seasonally Appropriate Footwear Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petals-pearls.md) - [Sleek T-Strap Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tkees-x-jcrew.md) - [Coquette Hybrid Sneaker Sandals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gelquantum-360-viii-2.md)
