Discover the basics of the fundamental style of authentic Greek sandals and how to wear them
The Greek sandal has become a wardrobe staple, like your favorite pair of jeans or a white T-shirt. Just like your jeans or your white T-shirt, it is the foundation on which all derivative styles are built and becomes a canvas on which you can express your personal sense of style. At Mythologia you will find many chic variations on the theme, but this time let’s just take some time to know the basics.
The natural leather colour
The natural colour of leather is dark cream. This is sustained by applying only a protective top coat in traditional leather crafting. This is also a natural product, so your Mythologia natural leather sandal is natural in every possible way. This of course comes with an also natural reaction to UV rays; if you leave the sandals alone in the sun, they will slightly darken over time, turning into a very light brown. Same goes for exposure to water. Although your natural toned leather sandal is protected by its top coat, plunging it in water or salt water will affect its colour.
Styling Greek authentic natural leather
Your natural leather sandals, no matter their design, are a minimal chic basic that works practically with everything. Of course, It looks its best with the summer essentials, as it gives the optical illusion of a bare foot -if your skin tone is close- or of little effort -if your skin tone is dark.
For a chic total look
Style your natural leather coloured authentic Greek sandals with similar colours. Dark cream and beige loose clothing, like slouchy trousers and flowy dresses made of linen will create a great summer outfit. The Leda or the Artemis with their lace that wraps and ties around your ankle will take you for marvelous long walks in the city or in the country/resort. If you want to add some flair to the look, go for the Ariadne, which will take you well into the evening activities.
