In need of a little escape?  How about some sun, sand and surf?
Let’s head to Miami and soak up the “SoBe” scene…

We recently caught up with our team of trendspotters in this warm weather mecca of style and design:

Meet Shawn Gibbs and Carmelo Aresco.  You might know them from in and around Miami’s ALDO stores.  Here’s what they had to say about the Top Styles in Miami, right now.

So tell us, what are the hottest styles in store this season?

“We can’t keep this style on the shelves.  Customers literally walk in asking for it. The snakeskin print is a real hit.  It makes it neutral, easy to wear and really versatile.”	"Sandals are always a style staple in Miami.  This particular one is dressy enough to pair with a long sundress and looks fresh with a cute pair of shorts. The pewter metal matches any outfit and really makes it pop! I’ve seen a lot of girls wearing it by the beach. What more can you say, it’s hot!"	“This is “the” walking boot! The style is trendy, looks great with skinny jeans and bonus, it’s comfortable! Girls are buying it for work and loving it for its everyday style.”

“Navy suede is a fresh look for fall. It’s unexpected, but really easy to pull off. A lot of customers are mixing it with shorts for day and pants for evening. It’s perfect for a night out and scores high on comfort.”	"Guys are picking out this one for their next vacation. It’s just one of those great dress-down sandals and it’s probably one of the most popular and comfortable in our collection. A classic for all customers!"	“This boot is so hot for fall.  It’s a trend piece and yet, as soon as someone tries it, they buy it. It makes the transition from day into night and looks great with jeans or dress pants. Every guy should have a pair in his wardrobe.”

How would you describe the Miami woman?
Naturally, she’s extremely trendy and takes her wardrobe very seriously. Miami women look the part whether they’re grocery shopping or headed for a night out. These girls have got style!

And how would you describe the Miami Man?
He’s very fashion forward, always a step ahead. In this city, he really looks to find a good balance between fashion and comfort. And of course, he loves his beach time and beach sports.

Fill us in on what’s going in the city right now?
Let’s face it, there’s always something going on in Miami. Just walk down the street… With so many great restaurants, clubs, galleries, shops and spas, you can’t miss.

Stroll Lincoln Road or head down to Ocean Drive for Nikki Beach Sundays. These legendary all-day beach parties begin around brunch and usually don’t stop till about 5 am!

Hope to see you soon!
